Dinner with Bruce, Melissa and baby Emily

Share

On Friday we had supper with my cousin Bruce and his wife Melissa. We met at a great  restaurant called John’s Pizzeria just of Time Square. I had forgotten how crazy Time Square is, with all the bright lights and TV screens. The screens seem to be getting bigger and bigger (and also better quality) – I would love to get one for home!

Although we had to wait about an hour before we got our table, the pizza’s were great, and in good American tradition, they were huge. Two were plenty enough for four of us to share. The highlight of the evening was to meet our new cousin, Emily. She was  on born six weeks ago, and this was her first official outing, so it was quite a treat for all. We were also the first of the Cameron side of the family to meet her!

It was not the greatest picture, but she was being really quiet and we didn’t want to disturb her, but she is really sweet!

Here is proud dad feeding her.

We had a great evening, and it was cool to catch up with some of the family in USA, and to get to spend time with my techie cousin. It is kind of bizarre that in a family of Camerons (who are generally very quite), both Bruce and I love public speaking, and are absolute techno-junkies.

Thanks guys for dinner, hope to see you next Sunday for dinner.

Where school busses go to due…

It just looked sad, rows and rows of discarded school busses, after spending years moving school children to and from school, ensuring that the child arrive safely at school, the old busses have completed their useful life. They have now been discarded, and left out in the elements to slowly rust away, and die a lingering and painful death.

Gotta love it

Today, we were in a computer store buying a laptop for Lois. So, there were were inside Incredible Connection, talking to an 18 year old sales assistant. Lois, who is blind, was buying a laptop from a slightly confused assistant (who had no idea that a blind person can actually use a computer), insisting on a white laptop, because she didn’t want the blue one! The poor sales assistant had no idea what to do.

It was quite a Monty-Python moment.

Note to self: the shop has the laptop network connections rigged to the burglar alarm system, not a good idea to unplug the network cable…
