"I just can't stop dancin' ...!"



Dancin' with the stars spouses

Passing under the awesome Verrazano Bridge

No, we're not seasick.

Towel critters. We named both of them "Terry".

If you can't pay your bar tab, they make you wash the ship.

"A drink? Why, thank you!"
"I'll have another cocktail, please."



"Mmm ... a nice dry sauvignon blanc. Very dry, indeed."


"I'd better get a ride home."
"I'm underdressed for this swanky crowd."



"Wheee!"



"What prize can we win for mom and dad?"




"If they can put an amusement arcade on a ship, why can't they put one in my house?"




"Look at these great pictures!"



Posing with my nephews.





A happy family prepares to disembark.

Tourists in Chester






Hacklebarney Hike

For artsy nature pix - and videos - click here.

We're ready to embark on a 25 mile hike through an untamed wilderness.


Would you believe a two mile hike through a state park with marked trails? O.k., now a few more people are willing to join us.


"I can't believe I let mom talk me into this."


"I can't believe I was able to talk my son into this!".


Joined at the hip-flask.


"I'd follow her anywhere -- because I forgot to bring my compass."


"Phew! We made it! Uh oh -- is anybody missing?!"

From U.K. to N.J.


Richard (l.) meets the family of his granny's American pen pal. (Click here for pictures of Nan Hollis Boyd and her family.)


The photographer finally figures out how to set the shutter timer, balances the camera on a monopod [!], and swiftly slides into the picture.

Seaside Heights, NJ


The most exotic spot in Ocean County?


Seaside street scene. I don't know how these people got in the picture.




All the ladies love rugby-playing law students.


"I dare you to go on the ride over there."


"I'm happy just to watch everyone else go on the rides."


"I can't believe I rode on this thing!"


Far from home, in a strange, strange place ...


A unique species: half nephew, half climbing lemur.


"Can I get one of these for my back yard?"


"I wanna go really fast!"


"See? I didn't get nauseous."


"Hey, look at us!"


"Think we can beat dad?"


"We'll beat dad by five car lengths!"


"I'll show those boys how to drive like a pro ..."


"... as soon as I figure out how to hook up this darn seat belt ..."


"How does this thing work?"


"Now I've got it!"


Vroom!
