So, my internet service is down at home. And who knows for how long. I hate them, and I want to change to comcast but I have a problem paying $200 a month for cable and internet service.

Well, on a brighter note, I am going back to school. YEAH!!! it's about time.

I bought kelvingerold.com there is nothing up on it yet, but there will soon be if Millenium Digital Media can get my internet connection back up. (Bitter, bitter as you can see.)

opps

Sorry about the repeat in the post, but this morning it didn't show. But I'm going to leave it as is.

A Visitor!!! Yeah!!!

Well, Sarah from NYC. The girl who use to live across the street from me in nyc is down. She is spending a semester in France and had to get her visa and all of that other good stuff done. So, After being lost in the backend of Georgetown for an hour I found her. We grabbed a quick bite than drove around DC while waiting for Rachael to get out of work.

After that we had dinner at my favorite tex-mex place. The we took Sarah to the Home Depot of Alcohol across the street from me. The Wine Corridor. Well, we finished eating about 1800-1830, and we didn't walking into the apartment until about 2015-2030. The girls had a blast. It was fun looking at them, but once they stopped at the wine tasting kiosk (<== Spelling??) i was like I'm going to be here for a while. Well, about an hour later we we finally checking out and Sarah had a bunch of stuff for her boyfriend Chris. Who is currently in Kosovo.

We get back to the apartment, and start drinking. Well I actually got a bad batch of beer. But I really think it was just bad gas, because I could have made this place toxic before i started drinking. Well, I feel alseep early, and the girls follow soon after.

Friday......

Well, Sarah is visiting from NYC.  She came down to do some stuff at the french consulet(spelling????)  And I got lost picking her up.  Well, after sometime, we went to pick up Racahel at work, then went to the Beer Depot.  You know the place that they sell alcohol, that is about as big as home depot.  Watching comedy central all night so far.  I got the pictures developed.  Pictures to follow.

Catch Up

 Ok, this weekend was Rachael's cousin's(Megan) Wedding in CT.  So, we drove up and got caught in GWB traffic.  I was on a 4.5 hour pace that turned into 6 hours.  We shared a room with her Dad (Kevin), and Brother (Kyle).  Rachael is definately a kid around her dad.  "Daddy", "Yes, Daddy" and "Dad, Kyle is being a prick."  It's kinda cute.  We got in drank a bit with her cousins, and brother.  Her brother and I went to bed at 4am.

Next morning at 6am I wake up.  I waste some time, then Kevin wakes up.  Kevin and I went for like a 1.5-2 miles walk and came back.   Rachael, Kyle, Kevin, Spencer (One of Megan's brothers (another cousin)) went with us to get breakfast.  After that off to get some beer, and went back to the hotel.  After much drinking, and more introductions it was time to head to the weddings.  Nothing was ironed, so I ironed everyone's clothes, took a shower and got ready.  We made it just in time for the service.After the service,  was the cocktail hour, where I met her aunt Connie.  Well, when I met her went up to her with a Trinidadian accent.   She started laughing right away and for the rest of the night, when ever I spoke to her, I spoke with an accent.  There was another black guy there and he was dancing up on Aunt Connie, so I jumped behind her and She turned around and said that she was an Oreo cookie.  

Anyway, a great time was had by all.

This Weekend..Pictures to follow

July 3rd 2004 0027
So, Rachael and I arrive at Indian Lake.

**Flash Back 2 hours**
Kelvin: I think we stay to the right and head up 90N.
Rachael: The directions don’t say anything about 90.
Kelvin: I remember staying to the right at the split.
Rachael: I’m looking at the directions, and they don’t say anything about 90.
Kelvin: But I’m telling you I have to stay to the right.
Rachael: Are you sure, this is right??? Don’t get us lost.
(Cutting over 3 lanes of traffic to stay on 87N)
Kelvin: OoooKay, But I remember staying to the right…
(1 Mile later there is a split, and 87n north is on the right)
Kelvin: See I told you that I had to stay on the right.
Rachael (Arms folded) Uummmm Hhhmmmm
**Flash Forward 2 hours**

I hear Barb yelling at Mark. “Mark He’s here.” Rachael as we are walking to the door. Thank God they smoke. I continued inside to greet Mark. He comes out to say hi to Rae. About 2 sec. later Barb shows up out the door, big hugs and intros take place. And Barb starts telling the story about how Mark tried to smoke out the house.

**Flash Back 7hours**
Indian Lake’s Bravest had to come to Barb’s house to rescue Mario from a black smoke filled house.

Barb doesn’t have a shredder so Mark decided that he was going to burn all of his paperwork, and then leave the house. Well, from all of Mark’s blast furnace like fires over the years, he had burned out the insulation. The house filled with smoke and his dad was home alone. Well his dad smelling the smoke decided to investigate it. He checked the kitchen and nothing. Went into the living room, and saw that smoke was coming out of the stove. So, he opened the stove door, to only fill the room with the black smoke of Mark’s paperwork, and the insultation that he destroyed. Well, like common sense would tell you Mario closed the stove door, and heads back to the bedroom. (Okay for those of you that don’t know Mark’s dad walked with a cane) He gets back in the bedroom, and thank God he has a MedicAlert-like badge. He presses the badge, and alerts them that his house is fillin with black smoke.

Okay, now as Barbara told me, the family is listed with the fire department because of Mario’s conditioin, so that they can get him out in case of emergency. Well, a lady at Todd’s told them that she had never seen them (FDIL) move so fast. So, in the end the house was fine, Mario is fine. Barb and Mark come racing back to the house to get smacked with a citation that her stove(wood burning) is out of code. It seems that the insulation inside the smokestack had collapsed in on itself from the raging inferno that Mark made. Mark is still thanking God that Mario is fine. And Barbara and everyone else want to know if there is anything safe from Mark’s absentminded destruction.

3 Cars, 1 Lighter, 1 Wood burning stove later, and the carnage left to come. Is nothing safe from this defender from the skies. I don’t think so.


Well, Saturday was a fun time. We filled a fridge that we are only going to use for two days. We raided Barbs kitchen. Rachael slaved a over a huge batch of cookies for Mark. Then we went to the town BBQ hosted by Indian Lakes Bravest, and the food was damn good. Anyway, after that Chris, Pam, Mark, Rachael and I jumped in a lake. And then to end the night on the side of the road watching fireworks, which Becky made it just in time to see.

Sunday, We all went to church while Becky worked on her thank you cards for her friends that took her out to celebrate he getting a permanent job in Maine. For those of you who don’t know, Mark is going to be stationed in Maine after he is done with training. When we got back Rachael made breakfast and Barb, and Mario came over to the motel room.
Soon, after we decided to go on a little walk-about in the woods, and up Chimney Mountain. Becky reaching new levels of hardness went up in flip-flops. Rachael made it all the way up without an asthma attack, but we did have to stop. I was a little worried when we did stop because she was turning a strange reddish-blue color, but after a few puffs of an inhaler she was fine. So we get to the top mountain. And then none of the girls would let us go up it. Fine, after some cute pictures, we chilled out for a bit, and came on down. I have learned that even though Rae can make it up the mountain, she is a bit scared of coming down. She didn’t have any good shoes going up, which made coming down funny. After a number of falls, she came out a little dirty but that that it was worst of it.

Monday, On the way home I decided to try a different way missed my exit and took me 30 minutes out of the way.
