This past weekend I spent a few days in the Hamptons area to see the family. It was a good time as always -- a lot of swimming in the pool, going to the beach, and overeating. Mostly I was excited about seeing my family, especially my nieces, who are growing so quickly that they seem like totally new people every time I see them. On Sunday we went deep sea fishing (my second time) and although it started out slow, we ended up catching 13 fish -- 7 sea bass, and 6 blue fish. GM caught the biggest one, weighing in (we think) close to 30 pounds. We all took Dramamine before we left and it ended up working really well, but maybe too well, as I felt tranquilized for the rest of the day. Fortunately, I was able to rouse myself to have a delicious fish dinner in the evening.

Otherwise, it was mostly relaxing. I finally got to watch some Olympics coverage, which was nice. There was a brief incident where Bug had a meltdown because she turned off the TV while we were all watching Olympics (she said it was boring), and J2 told her if she did that, she wouldn't be able watch Dora the Explorer for the rest of the summer. When you're 4, I suppose that's pretty much the biggest threat anyone can give.

(Note to family: please stop asking me about pictures; I will let you know when they are up.)
