Although a crisp ginger cookie would have been a delightful accompaniment to the Peach frozen yogurt, I won’t take points off. The meal was delicious from start to finish and much appreciated. With dogs, kids, lawn varmints, bad back, the “real” job, 2 businesses and a 2 day trip to UNCP for parent’s weekend we had little time to play host and hostess. Michelle and Brian are either very good sports or secretly insulted by our lack of attention. Lucky for us they’re low maintenance relatives and the books/laptop on the coffee table were a small price to pay for the good company.

Kudos’ to Brian for allowing Michelle and I to throw him under the bus. No those are not tread marks on his shirt, just red sauce and sweat. Brian, If you ever want to give up rocket science the cashier/beer-tender position at The Wave is yours.

OH gods, I almost just *asked* a yankee to consider moving down here. There was a collective sigh of despair from my ancestors, and at the last moment I hit select all / delete. I mean who would notice, since over 80% of current inhabitants of this area were not born or raised in NC, but it’s the principle of the thing…

Sadly I no longer get out to places like Duck enough, a place I visited pretty much yearly in my youth. I remember in like 1966 my cousin removed a bolt from the Bonner bridge, we teased him 30 years later when the same section of the bridge needed extensive repair and remodeling.

As long as your relatives didn’t say “Ya’ll come back now, ya hear”, I suspect you are fine. That’s southern for: When we send you an engraved invitation you are welcome to return, but don’t even think about it until then.

Peach frozen yogurt, barbecue, cute basset hounds, Outer Banks…And yet, you will return to New Jersey. Seek additional professional help. Immediately.

The usefulness of a real live rocket scientist story reminds me of a similar situation involving breaking something in my friend’s house (in high school) and trying to put it back together, and someone uttered the words “what we need here is a nuclear physicist!” And, conveniently, in walks friend’s dad.

Who IS a nuclear physicist.

The end, I can’t say anything else useful because I’m too busy being jealous of your ice cream and barbecue.
