Adventures of the Antirider Rider

Sometimes the best adventures are the ones that are open ended. Leonard and Tory take a one way flight to New York City! The boys have the essentials. Bon voyage Lenny and Tory! Happy birthday Tory!!    

I finally found my match.  Russell takes as many photos if not more of food than I do!  It’s been joked that I should make this a food blog.  Today’s masterpiece is an ultimate desert treat at our local beer bar – Taco Mac. As if our eats at the bar aren’t enough, we continue [...]

Something old – like three old gold chains that they ended up giving me $290 – woo hoo! Something borrowed – like my friend Bradford from my previous life. Something blue?  No, not really.  Everything is pretty yellow around these parts. Something new?  Yeah like my buddy Kenan here in the yellow room. Did any [...]

I accept many forms of payment including basil.

Nothing like getting a blue or is it green box from Tiffany! Who says architects can’t design jewelry?  I love some Frank Gehry!

I never thought the day would come that Charlotte would have a Nordstrom Rack. Shopping galore! Along with lots of shopping are lots of lines. Thank you Nordstrom Rack for finally coming home!

Cory and Heather do an amazing choosing the colors and monkey theme. The cupcakes from Polka Dot are a hit! It’s a boy! Cory wakes up early at 5am to get all of the cooking done for this event. He and Heather spend quite a bit of time arranging all of the food on the [...]

It’s a good thing that I traded in my Jeep Wrangler with a 3″ lift and 33″ tires on it for that super low profile 350Z.  It really comes in handy when a water main breaks and there is a flash flood on Tyvola.  Let’s say the car is water tight up to 18″ — [...]

I took on a partnership with R and we get to building cardboard houses.  I’ve been told that certain neighborhoods in Charlotte may be considered “cardboard town” and in this case, please take it literally.  A little cardboard and hot glue never hurt anyone.  Can you spot the engineer’s house and perhaps the engineer in training’s house? [...]

Not Captain Morgan… but Captain Chad. Chad and Josh check out a canopy bed deal.  Looking good! Nothing beats a lunch that ends with a Costco trip!    

Dan starts the new driveway by getting rid of the old one first! Dan is in charge of the Bobcat. The driveway is on it’s way out. Need a new driveway or any other concrete, you should call Dan the Man Concrete at 704-361-1955. More views of Dan tearing it up!  He takes the big [...]

It’s true. History is all reruns. If you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself watching the same episode of the same show every time you turn on the TV. It’s amazing how that happens – you rarely watch a certain show but somehow on the off chance you catch that show, it’s always that same episode. [...]

My regular readers may have noticed that I’ve been off the radar for a few months.  I’ve been going through a lot personally with some losses but countered with many gains as well.  Just in the past few weeks, I’ve rediscovered love, friendship, and enjoying life. As cliche as this is, I’m quoting a Sheryl Crow song [...]

For regular readers, you may be wondering where your daily 6am blog email alerts have been… Of course you see that the last post was about Chad and Erica getting married.  Since the other half of the C-team decided to go get married and take a honeymoon, I decided to take a little break myself.
