I love the situation that occurs when you're driving on the highway, and you pull up next to a car going slower than you.

Either you initiate the glance over toward their passenger, or you happen to catch them staring at you. 

Immediately, there is a sizing up of the other person and their car.

It's so unspoken. You either know that your car could kick their car's butt, or vice-versa. You see, it doesn't really matter if that person could kick your butt, or you could kick theirs. The person with the faster car always wins.

Unless they have a weapon.

I went to Plum Island with Richie and Caroline. We took some pictures and wrote names in the sand. There were actually some surfers out...

I'm not ready to go back to school. The break was too short and I have no motivation to start my painting due Tuesday. 

Why is that Newburyport seems like some kind of cove where time doesn't exist?

Today was pretty slow.

Richie Pace came over around 6:30 today. We recorded a song I wrote called Arguments and Shouting Matches. It took forever, but it was a lot of fun. 

It's hanging out at www.purevolume.com/rcleary.

I hate being allergic to cats...

I went to the annual Thanksgiving  Newburyport vs. Amesbury football game this morning. I actually played in this game back in high school. The weather was pretty nice for being the end of November. I got to see a lot of old friends and take some pictures.

We had a pretty solid Thanksgiving dinner. Some family friends came over to join us. The turkey took forever to cook, but it was great regardless... so was the pie.

I'm tired...

I got back to MA last night. I had a pretty good trip. My plane got delayed an hour an a half so I sat in the airport reading Twilight not knowing how much of a chick book it was. I tried to hide the cover as much as possible.

It's nice being home with the family, chobe, and my friends, although, I feel slightly out of the loop with everything. No one seems to have changed too much.

Thanksgiving is tomorrow which means tons of food and football. sick. 

I tried to take some pictures downtown Newburyport. I'll throw some more up as the week progresses. The skyscraper pics are from a visit to Chicago a while ago.

... everything costs something.

This is my first blog.

My first post, at that.

Thanks to Corey Bienert for setting me up with everything. Hope to do you proud, kid.

Here's some advice he gave to get me started:

update that sauce

keep me up on the tunes your listening to

share your ideals

share your beef

whore yourself out there to the internet world

Thanksgiving is in two days. I can't wait to get home, and see the family, eat some sweet potato crunch.

No-Shave-November is coming to an end.
