The scene this past weekend for Mr. and Mrs. Vandelay’s 10th wedding anniversary was Boston, Massachusetts, topped off with a night of dulcet tones by the great Neil Diamond. This would complete my trifecta of seeing geriatrics in concert at venues that are home to sports teams that I absolutely loathe. We’d be joined by friends, Joe and Lisa. The concert itself was good…not great. It is Neil Diamond so there’s certainly a cheese factor in play but if you don’t take yourself too seriously, it’s kinda hard not to have fun. As you can see from that photo above, the crowd was old. Really old. Like Craig old. This pretty much squashed the possibility of getting stoned which really seemed like an obvious necessity to us for a Neil Diamond concert and every time I’m watching a Red Sox game and someone made a catch in deep right center field I could have remembered the time I smoked a joint in that very spot. Unfortunately, nobody was so much as drinking so we worked under the presumption that Joe pulling a joint out of his balls wouldn’t have gone over so well.
Without further ado, a pictorial review…

What are we all frickin' CPAs around here? This place is a god damn ghost town.
Admittedly, I'm in a bit of a creative funk. For instance it just took me 20 minutes to come up with those first two sentences. I just tried for 20 minutes to come up with an analogy for a place that would be barren under certain circumstances and I got nothing. I can't even come up with an unfunny joke...an art I thought I had mastered. I blame it on the season. It's the late winter something or other.
Despite all this, I'm gonna go ahead and attempt to execute one of these here web logs. Someone's gotta do it. May as well be me. We don't want to turn into this guy.
So last night at around 10:15, I decided to drop the Wii remote and put on my cool dad hat. I figured I'd go outside in my 5 degree backyard and take some pictures of that lunar eclipse to show my kid this morning. Now, I actually have a really nice digital camera but I've never quite gotten motivated to learn how to use it. This is pretty much the case with all the technology I have at my disposal (except the Wii). Apparently, when you're taking pictures of the moon, you can't use flash. I couldn't figure out how to just turn the flash off so I went to "firework mode" which by my logic is the closest that this camera gets to "moon mode."

These pictures that Kanye West posted over at his blog have me thoroughly intrigued. Not because he plays Connect Four with Beyonce but because of the sheer lunacy in which the way this game unfolds. Let's break this down after the jump.
