Return to The 'Ham.

Wow, no blog since 10 on 10? Dismal... I must try to have more interesting things to write about!

In truth, life has been very unremarkable, in spite of the fact that I am actually being an actor for a living at the moment. I do the show and work, Chad works and works and works, and when we have time together we are very boring and like to simply be together, eat, watch movies or our favorite sitcoms online (so happy they are back!). It's a happy life, but just not very blog-able.

This past "weekend" however, I had an unheard of two days off from the show, so we took a trip up north to Belligham, to visit our beloved alma mater town. We love the 'Ham, and always will for so many reasons. Like the Archer, for instance. I will never love a pub as much as I love the Archer... I'm sure there are finer, more authentic English establishments out there, but the Archer is my first true love of pubs!

Our friend Andy ("P") was the comeback king in our game of darts...notice that "M" (me) hit the bottom of the barrel there at the end, and "PG" (Chad) had a staggering fall from grace to finish 2nd.

We spent most of our time either driving around remembering and visiting all our favorite places or hanging out at Andy's house (where we stayed) playing Rock Band, which is the best video game ever invented.

Diamond Jim's was a mandatory stop for breakfast. Our tiny little hole-in-the-wall diner, with that faux wood wall paper and mismatched coffee cups... I'm sure it hasn't changed in 10 years, which is incidentally how long it has been around. Well, I take that back. Apparently the "2-2-2" special used to actually be $2.22, but now it is $5.75. Still a great deal for 2 eggs, 2 pancakes and 2 strips of bacon or sausage. This place is absolutely packed to the gills every weekend, and most weekday mornings.

Chad, below, and, behind him, half of the restaurant.

And finally, I just had to throw in a little glimpse of me at my first attempt at drums on Rock Band. I have to admit, I did okay, but I certainly lack the cool factor that most drummers exude. I think I'll stick to guitar, bass and singing. I should post the video of this...it really is pathetic.

So that's all for now, I hope each and everyone of you is well wherever you are!
