The Bridenstines -- Random Rants, Daily Dish and Seriously Silly Stuff

Monday, August 10, 2009 --- Coney Island Cyclone Game!

What better thing to do on a hot, New York August Sunday than take the kids to a Minor League baseball game? Nothing! That's exactly what we did yesterday, along with our new good friends, The Pennebakers, which includes JoJo, Michelle and little Lucy. We threw everyone into a borrowed van (Thanks Brian and Lindsey!) and bolted all the way down to Coney Island. After a little stroll on the Boardwalk, we hit Keyspan Stadium, which is very "Bull Durham", and I mean that in a nice way. The stadium was only about 1/3 full, so it was great for NJ and Lucy to run around and have some fun. We had hot dogs, ice cream, beer, soda and wound up buying both the kids a big, red styrofoam "We're #1" finger. [Plus, NJ got a hat and Cyclones ball, but that's cause he's spoiled rotten.] A good, clean day of fun was had by all and we look forward to going again sometime sooner than later. Here's a very cute video of the kids, hanging out down by right field. [Another blog entry will follow in a day or two with pics!]

Wednesday, July 9, 2008 --- 4th of July Fun

The 4th of July holiday was a big one here in NYC for the Bridenstines, mostly because there was lots of family in town. Nana, Uncle Tom and his three awesome kids, Johnny, Maggie and Sarah joined us for the American festivities, and what a festive time it was. Things done include - walking through Central Park, riding the Beast in the Hudson, grabbing lunch in Chinatown, going to see the Yankees play, having high tea, perusing through Grand Central Station, hitting the Museum of Natural History, eating at Carmines, seeing "Wall-E" - the list goes on. Here are just a few pics of our great adventure.

Monday, November 5, 2007 --- Who's checking this blog out from Brooklyn, New York??

I'm going to guess that the feed is confused by Michael and Lori being so far up town that it thinks you are in Brooklyn?? Because nobody else but you and me are checking the blog page, right?

If not, then I call for a DELURKING!!! Reveal yourself, Brooklynite! Leave us a comment!!!

The Bridenstines consist of five sentient beings of various intellect, value and potential, specifically:

Lori -- Wife and mother, taking a government-sanctioned maternity break from her personal training gig to birth, rear and guide her son as he begins his life and ends hers, a.k.a. “eating the metaphorical bon bon.”

Nicholas -- Newest addition to the family, born happy, healthy and eager to start blaming his parents for ruining his life. Predicted first word – Why?

Brummie -- Elder female feline, happy with warm belly rubs and cold bowls of milk. Tabby in coat, Tiger in heart.

Maya -- Deadly-but-delicious younger putty tat, with a soft face to melt the hardest heart and a proclivity toward urinating on Mom and Dad while they sleep.

Michael -- Husband and father, busy writing, producing and directing the next great American sitcom, if at least in his head. Loves to multi-task while on the phone, often by dusting while yapping.
