The camp was a success as can be partly evidenced by the above picture which is a faithful representation of his execution of a nice deek which got the goalie moving laterally, after which Hugo beat him like a rented mule by tickling the twine. The goalie did not know whether to cry or wind his watch.

While in Rochester, I had a nice but quick lunch with John Linn along with visits to a number friends, drank some beer, went to a minor league baseball game, played golf with some old guys, gave the X-wife some what-for, and wrapped up the trip with a visit to Wegmans where I secured a mother lode of Zweigles and snickerdoodles, thus making the trip a complete success.

It's raining and overcast today, making it a perfect day for relaxing in front of a warm fire to take off the dampness - not to mention the warm glow of the tv screen with a Notre Dame football game on broadcast - and just hanging out while the wife waits on me, hand-and-foot, as I recover from a somewhat hectic 5 days and recoup my Adirondack equilibrium.

BTW, the spider, whatever its nomenclature might be, is approx. 2 inches in size, tip-to-tip.
