Basement Transformation


Transforming my basement from a foul, filthy, stink hole apartment into a “sexy ass” finished downstairs wasn’t easy…nor cheap.  It couldn’t have happened without good old uncle Frank and I am now sold on the fact that he “knows some stuff about things”.

Lets start with the bathroom.  One word comes to mind “Holy crap was this guy out of his friggin mind??” ok, that was more than one word, I realize that, but WTF……!!!

You can almost smell the urine and mold.  Walking in this bathroom reminded me of the scene in Shawshank Redemption when Andy had to crawl through the sewer pipe to his freedom. (I imagined it probably smelled the same)

Children of the Corn

Kris and I decided to take a trip to PA to see some friends and get lost in a giant field of corn.  This corn maze is right in the middle of meat and potato lovin’ Pennsylvania Dutch country and is called “The Cherry Crest Adventure Farm”.

Cherry Crest Children of the CornI was waiting for Maliki to greet us at the ticket booth, but it was neither him, nor a person wielding a sickle so I was relieved.

It took us an hour and a half to “almost” find our way out of the maze and we felt like little mice in a laboratory with our reward being some Dutch Country Fudge waiting for us in the courtyard.

Apparently, this is a map of all the people who who have been swallowed up by the corn maze.  My guess is they have been made into Shoofly Pie.

What we didn’t anticipate was the feverish spell the corn maze had put on Mellisa and Jay. They were clearly the mice with a mission, hell bent on finding all the maze puzzle pieces and claiming the 2009 Maize Masters title (fictional title that they so rightly deserve)

“Can someone just point me in the general vicinity of fudge?”

“can we get some blue puzzle pieces so it looks like we tried?”

That morning Jay and I went for a six mile run so I got to see the Vibram 5 fingers “Barefoot running shoes” in action.
