weekend
i wanted to take pictures this weekend but i wasn't sure where. mom suggested that i head over to the norwood airport and i liked that suggestion. saturday afternoon i grabbed my camera, hopped in the car, blasted some cadence weapon (my current favorite cd) and headed for the airport.
when i got to there, i started to get flashbacks to my childhood. when i was a wee lad, mom would take us kids to the airport for picnics and to watch the planes take off and land (that's what planes do at an airport, see?). i hadn't been there in probably 20 or so years and i remembered it being a lot bigger than i now found it. i guess spaces shrink when we grow, yo.
i'm not sure how i feel about the fact that the picture i liked best out of all my airport photos was this one here:
maybe it doesn't matter that i set out to take airplane pictures. maybe this isn't even a good photo. oh yeah, i have no idea who these people are.

today was the day of our family barbecue. before the barbecue, i met johnnie and ilana at their apartment and we headed over to the local theater to catch the 1:15 showing of superbad. oh my god, what a funny movie!!! michael cera is my hero!!!!
after the movie, i dropped johnnie and ilana off, told them i'd see them at the bbq and headed home. when i arrived, i was happily surprised to learn that this was more than a barbecue. it was a "welcome home stevie barbecue!!!" my mom waited to have it until this weekend so that christine and ari could attend as they'd been on an extensive camping trip out in the western part of the country when i first moved home. what an awesome surprise this was. it really meant a lot to me and we all had a great day. johnnie even gave me a "welcome back" gift - season one of "beek's creak" on dvd!!! when he told me he'd watch it with me, i almost fainted.
we played whiffle ball (christine, ari and i vs. frank, frankie, and johnnie). although i didn't hit too well, i did have a lot of fun. the best play i made was fielding a grounder and whipping it to christine at first for an out. i guess all that throwing to first while playing glowball really came in handy!!
all in all, it was an amazing day spent with awesome people who truly made me feel special.
