@Abby – it was one of many that came out right at the turn of the century – I don’t think I remember whose it was, and I don’t think I read all 100, but the vast majority! It was a great way to pass the time during my long bus commute that year.

@Kim – I will have to check it out! I’m not so much a pinball fan as fascinated by random stuff like that. I enjoyed learning about Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer, who apparently summered in Ocean Grove.

One of my favorite, local haunts is the Silverball Museum in adjacent Asbury, right on the boardwalk. Great for adults (and kids) who love all things pinball!

I love some of the ideas in your post & the comments. Although berry picking sounds less fun to me (hot! bugs! stickiness!) I bet the kids would love it. Strawberry season might be done down here but maybe blueberries.

That will likely look like wonton soup and a trip to Sephora–because while the girl looks just like me, her interests sometimes make me wonder if we actually share the same DNA…

Getting Things Done is also sitting in my TBR stack; thanks for the push!

I plan to get into the frigid water often and go to the beach almost every evening after work! I will take a few vacation days to enjoy it as well!

@Ana – Linvilla. It is a bit of a madhouse occasionally (like weekend afternoons) but they run a fairly smooth operation. I second eating ice cream!
