Some OATS Pictures
Wondering where I’ve been all weekend?
Here are a couple of pictures of Sam and me from 2008 Out Among The Stars Bluegrass festival.

We got home from OATS yesterday around 5:30 or so. I really pulled my back on Thursday afternoon when I picked up the boy, and when I say that I mean pulling him from his feet as he was running around the pick up area. Or maybe it was the 13-hour drive, who knows. [...]

Tomorrow I leave to go pick up Sam, again an extended trip across the border, and then back about to Benton, PA for the Out Among the Stars Bluegrass Festival. The trip across the border adds an extra three hours round trip to the already-brutal eight hours I travel to Syracuse and back, but [...]

No blogging this weekend. It’s bluegrass festival time, and we’re starting it out right at Wind Gap.

This weekend, Sam came to the Out Among the Stars Festival in Benton, PA. This is my new favorite festival, surpassing Woodstown, NJ: the grounds are bordered by a beautiful little creek where you can go swimming and an airstrip, where prop planes take off and land throughout the day. The festival grounds [...]

Due more to accident than design, my four days at OATS were spent completely detached from the news: I missed the British bombing scare, the shutdown of the Pennsylvania state government, and God knows what else. I learned about it all when I got home, and the results were no different than had I [...]
