Messing with the blogging world since 2005
Another blast from the past!
I know, usually, this is a feature for family and such. But yesterday was an old friend’s birthday and I couldn’t resist this image. Ahh, the old days. Duck tape repairing a toy wooden gun. Still was the bomb. Happy birthday, Money!
A-team?

OK, so I know I didn’t get involved in the full 30 days of photographs, hosted by Ziva and Mike.
My bad.
But reality is, there’s no way I would have been able to keep up with it. Too many other things I need to post about and, honestly, I’ve stared at a few of those themes and was dumbstruck and had no idea how I’d interpret them.
Heck, I have a hard enough time with a weekly and monthly challenge!
Anyway, I wanted to get in on this day’s theme and hopefully a few others. With closeup, I opened several photos in Photoshop and stared and stared. In the end, I had to go with this one as I thought it was perfect.
It’s one of my friend’s kids at a local county fair. He had been munching on some Cheez-its and I was trying to get him eating them. Instead, it peeked at me with this smile.
Score!
This theme has also made me realize I need to process some of these photos for said friend.
Anyway, closeup it is.
Say Cheez-it!
To see other’s who are participating in the challenge and did this day’s image, head over to Ziva’s Inferno to check it out!

Soundless Sunday is a weekly feature where I’ll try and feature a favorite quote and a photo that I’ve taken. Enjoy life — it’s the only way to go!

Oh. My. Yes, please.
When I go to Philadelphia, I usually like to try and hunt down a cheese steak.
It makes sense, being the city has so many wonderful spots to get an authentic Philly steak. When we hit the city this past weekend for a Phillies game, we had intended all along to hit one up after the game.
I didn’t have anything of major filling up at the game, which is rare as I usually get a hot dog or Bull’s BBQ. Instead, it was some Italian Ice to tide me over.
But for dinner?

Now, I realize that Philly people have different likes and such when it comes to cheese steaks. Some love Geno’s. Some love Pat’s. Some love others. It’s understandable.
But I love Geno’s.
I have to be honest, too. I am biased in that Geno’s is in the family. My second-cousin Joey is the man who started Geno’s. This trip to Geno’s was the first time that I had been there since Joey died last August. In the past, we usually went down early when Joey was working and went inside, chatted with him and had the chance to see things from a different perspective.
This was different.
Though I’ve waited in line to buy steaks here before, I’ve never done it after a game. Holy cow! The line wrapped around the building and we hopped in to wait our turn.
The line moves quickly. I got to see the memorial to Joey at the front. And I got to see things in a different way. Watching the steaks being made on the inside. Seeing other people waiting and enjoying their steaks. It’s really amazing what Joey built.
There were lines at Geno’s, but they move fast.
Marc and Rod were deferring the ordering to me. See, you have to order right. (Three steaks wiz wit.) — which means three cheese steaks with cheese whiz and onions.
Delightful.
We also got an order of cheese fries as they are divine, too.
After finding a place to sit, we dug in. I can say the quality hasn’t changed since Joey died, thankfully. My oh my do I love cheese steaks at Geno’s. Everything was truly awesome.
When we were done eating and heading back to the car, I stopped into a Rita’s for some Italian Ice — the perfect way to end it. Well, close to the hotel was a nice little bar where I had a pint of Guinness. THAT was the great way to end the day.
The next day, we hit up a geocache in Delaware before dropping Rod off at the train station. Marc and I headed back to New York, but we made a quick stop at Sheetz for a final sub.
In the end, an excellent weekend and not a lot of money was spent, thankfully.
I’ll look forward to my next trip to Philly for some cheese steaks though. Those things are simply incredible.
