Another Triumph in The Mountains:

Before setting out upon my annual retreat to The White Mountains, I fortified myself with this eggplant parm sub from HiFi pizza in Central Square:

… and then it was off to three days of Work and this:

When I get home from Pure tonight hopefully The Wife will have just returned.  As grand a time as I suspect we’ve both been having, it’s best when we’re together.

Some of the second week of The Bachelorhood Good Times included an unexpected day or two off from Pure.  When there’s no biz on a day no need to go in.  One day WF and I got to see “Beyond the Darkness” a film Visitor Blim and I had just recently watched.  Perhaps a contender for “The Permanent Collection”.

On another occasion Visitor Blim and Mr Y came over for a screening of “Ubaldo Terzini’s Horror Show” … a definite addition to “The Permanent Collection”.

This was followed by a pleasant spin or several of The Circle Game “a la carte”.

pretty nice, right?

The following morning I met Janice at South Station and away to NYC we went, in Celebration of her birthday:

Having arrived we were then met by the Exclusive Now Today Limo Service Whilst in NY3, commanded by Tech Support and his Lady Friend Tamara.  We then proceeded to visit the recently opened 911 Memorial:

Where the Towers once stood are these two fountains.  A square within a square with this refreshing water cascade.  The pictures don’t do it justice.  These holes in the Earth are harrowing ….

From there it was lunch time.  We returned to The Tap Room of Tom Colicheo and Sons.  As the ladies were freshening up Tech Support and I were saying how we hoped none of the staff were present during our last visit on TMtsTMIV:NY3, when suddenly the waiter appears with a jovial “Welcome back, Derek!”

wine, burger, and donuts.  What could be better?

We then checked into the Holiday Inn midtown.  I was greeted by this:

The next morning we were greeted by Tech Support and his Lady Friend Tamara again and had a most indulgent of breakfasts:

Not surprisingly, Tech Suport was called away for Tech Support duties.  Janice and I then went to the delightful roof deck pool.  Officially closed on Labour Day, they open at their discretion until mid October.

Tech Support returned, but couldn’t stay.  Not being a guest and not willing to pay $75 per person, he and his Lady Friend were ejected:

That afternoon, Janice and I had more quality Good Times on this lovely roof deck pool in Mid Town Manhattan on the first full day of Autumn 2013:

pretty nice, right?

That night I went for a stroll and ended up at a posh Indian Restaurant.

Morning came and it was time to return to The Commonwealth:

Good Times.  Many thanks to all involved.  Especially Janice.

Marisa has taken her Mum on holiday to the United Kingdom for two weeks.  So, I’ve had a lot of this in my face:

On Thursday Visitor Blim (aka “Mikro-Glycerin) pict up me and WF and we went to Demoulas for some protein.  6 Lobsters, a bag of mussels, a boneless leg of lamb, and trout.  We returned to The Garden at Fire Plaza and proceeded to steam the lobster in a tasty broth of white wine, sea water, thyme, tarragon, parsley, and scallion.

Here are the condemned before:

and after:

the Good Times:

Even Nibbles joined in:

After a gruelling afternoon of The Circle Game, we, for some reason had a Nightcap at OLG:

The Next Morning as WF joined me for the walk to the T I got word of two cancellations, essentially canceling my day at Pure.  It being “Friday the 13th” we took that as a “sign” and paid our respects at The Rock of Sanity:

The Next Morning we hit The Pour House en route to Pure, a usual Saturday AM activity:

That night The Circle Game resumed:

As the Event proceeded WF kept pushing the idea of a Four Circle Cycle as a new Standard of sorts.  By the End of the Event a new standard was in fact formalized:

The 2 Person Hellequin Standard.

a four circle cycle.  Circle 1 and 3 are identical to the 2 person Full Olympic Standard.  Circles 2 and 4 have The Host going first.  The Stations remain as they are, but the players are delighted to a refreshing juxtapostion.  As we were carving out this new pattern, which WF (aka The Sheriff) was adamantly spearheading, the notion of olde-world “harlequin” was coming to me.  A trip to wikipedia (CLICK HERE)proved fruitful, helping us identify what we are now in possession of.  The New 2-Person Hellequin Standard.

Here’s the setlist:

pretty nice, right?

After WF left, there was a beautiful, yet strange afterglow in the aftermath:

Hopefully everyone is still having a Good Time …
