Cliff Jumping
This past summer was a mix of adventures, misadventures, frustration, excitement,
tomfoolery, surprises and giraffes.
I'm just kidding.
There was no tomfoolery.
One lazy weekend in July, my amigo, Tyler, graciously offered to take myself and
my good friend Courtney down to his hometown of Scituate, MA to do some
wilderness exploration, cliff jumping, boat rides and maybe even a flight in a
water-plane! Some of these came to pass, some of these did not. Not for lack of
trying, but for reasons out of everyone's control.
I had my camera with me (typical) and bagged some images of some of our cliff
jumping escapades, followed by an evening spent eating deli sandwiches, peanut
butter filled pretzels, topped off with some delicious cervezas, all on Tyler's family's
anchored sailboat in Scituate harbour.
A truly glorious day. Even Tyler's sister Hilary joined in on the fun!
But she did it!

Tyler's done this before
Courtney took a bit of convincing...
This girl took some convincing too...
But she did it!
So did Courtney!
Me, post jump

Miscellaneous Boston Highlights
Boston was once a mystical place that existed only in my imagination.
A land to the north, defined by bitter cold winters, god awful
drivers, and the worst of them all, Tom Brady. I had friends who
claimed to be from there, and I even had names for them that spelled
out their place of origin for anyone unfamiliar with my amigos.
BostonJen and BenJAMMIN' were two of my best friends from college,
and I hadn't seen them in quite some time due to my ventures abroad to
Africa. I had been home 6 months in the US and still hadn't seen them.
This was unacceptable. I had visited friends in Delaware, Philly,
Washington DC, Virginia, and even Florida, but had not made the trek
north to Beantown.
Whether by fate or coincidence, the only "long term" job offer I had
gotten since coming home to the states came to me in May, and it
required a relocation to Boston. I decided to have a go at this job,
and see what would come of it. If nothing else, it would give me a
perfect excuse to spend time with both BenJAMMIN' and BostonJen in
their native habitat.
The short version: The job didn't work out and I moved back to NY in
September.
The good news: I had an awesome summer with my friends in Beantown, and
wouldn't trade it for anything.
I have a ton of photos from the summer. Here is a quick look at some of the
people who I spent my time with at the beginning and end...
Chocolate Bear
Boston Nites
