Guest Photo of the Day 001


Russell is a HUGE fan of blimps and snapped this picture with his iPhone and then sent it to me in the hopes I would share it with the masses. (Photo by Russell Kennerly)
Russell is a HUGE fan of blimps and when he saw this blimp floating near his place of employment he sent it on to me hoping I would share it with the masses. So I have. Snaps for Russell.

What Russell doesn’t know is that while I can claim a decent amount of subscribers as far as I know only 3 people actually gander at my ramblings. So I hope Baier, Shannon, and Micky enjoyed Russell’s contribution to this here blog, ahem, online journal. I can already hear Micky calling this entry “blimp porn”.

OR

Since I didn’t do the photography he will present me with a long diatribe about how this picture of the blimp was tastefully done and therefore not pornographic in any way. I guess I’ll wait with bated breath.

I tried and failed 4 times to dine at the Candy Kitchen in Wilton. But years of persistence finally paid dividends and I finally had a strawberry ice cream cone. It tasted like victory! (Photo Assistant: Jesse Howard)
Wilton Candy Kitchen!

After years and years and years of showing up at this place hankering for some old timey ice cream only to have a “CLOSED” sign laugh in my face, I finally was able to slay 1 of my white whales and enter the Wilton Candy Kitchen. I got to knock down a tasty strawberry ice cream cone. I got to tour their closed museum. I got to meet the 100 year old owners. I got to sit in the same table where Gregory Peck once sat.

But I know you are wondering about the quality of the ice cream, well it was fantastic. Perhaps not any better than The Filling Station in Madrid or Cole’s in Slater, but still, perfectly excellent ice cream.
