There is no rest for the wary this summer. On the last Sunday of June, Molly and I made the trek out to Long Island for an engagement party for her friends, Claire and Josh, friends from college.
We started out the day at about 11am taking the subway down to Penn Station (which is in midtown on the west side, about a 30min subway ride), where we caught the Long Island Railroad out to some town, where we transfered to another train and rode for about another 45 min or so. The whole trip out took about two and a half hours or so, but it was really nice to get out of the city and see trees and country. Josh and Molly's other good friend, Joanne, picked us all up at the train station out in Stony Brook, NY.
At Josh's parents house there was a big buffet for everyone, with lots of food, beer, and bocce. Molly got to talk to all her friends that she hasn't seen in a long time, and I got to do some meet-n-greet. Which we all know I'm not great at, but her friends are all real nice, which made the event a lot easier.
After a couple of hours we had to leave to catch our train back to the city, it was a short event, but fun!

There was a mean game of Bocce played which I ruled of course! Josh then informed us of their house rules (a little different then the way we played back in the boat) and therefore Molly was the winner. This will not be the end of the match rest asured!
Yea, I played with the cat outside, I don't know his name, or even know if it's a he, but it liked me. Go cat go!
At one of our many train transfers during the day. Even though we spent four hours on the train for two hours of face time, it was worth it. Getting out of the city for a few hours is always nice, and to see some old friends, priceless. Oh when we got home, we went straight to Tasti D Light. Good times.

Oh to have trains in the area to ride! They removed ours long ago, probaby as a part of a war effort. Turned them into cannon parts and shells to use against our common enemies. So it goes out here in the west, they are always extracting something from you or your favorite garden spot to use for someone else's benefit or destruction. All we have now is nearly constant Co2 truck traffic hammering through town at all hours of the day. It is a good time.
Oh, we also have the bar named "best place to have a beer with a rodeo clown" by Outdoor Magazine in 2006, which is nice.
