Two Roller-bladeiferous Gals

Ash and Lorri do all the same things: Make friends on the subway, eat celery... and so forth. But most importantly they love to roller-blade. The Bronx holds no bounds for them, and so Friday mornings keep an eye out for them, you never know where you might spot them. Here's some pics from their latest excusion to City Island.

Yo no soy marinero, Soy capitan

From the log of Captain Ashley:

22 SEPTEMBER 2008 - FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS IN THE THROGGS NECK BAY. SAILING CLOSE HAULED ON A PORT TACK TO THE LONG ISLAND SOUND, AND WING ON WING BACK TO THE EAST RIVER. GREY SKIES AND GOOD COMPANY. ALL IS WELL.

Family Home Evening at the Bontornos (When you're with us, you're family!)

We had ourselves a splendid little family home evening with some extensive extended family: The Garners, Mangums, Hansons, Halls, Joe and Dave. The activity involved teamwork, structural engineering, marshmallows and spaghetti.

Our New Neighbor

As we've had the opportunity to explore our new surroundings and meet our new neighbors, we've come across some strange and rather slimy ones. This particular guy seemed nice, though he did get through the fence and came into the backyard without asking . . . I guess we'll just have to make sure our non-human neighbors stay in the yard and out of the apartment. Yuck. Gross.

Velcome

We'd like to invite you on a little journey of sorts. Not everyone gets the privilege of glimpsing into the adventures that take place in the Bontorno Basement. But you do. So feel lucky, and Velcome.
