(We love them too.)
I got a note from Amy at Gogobot yesterday telling me they had added BLR to their “Blogs we love” section. See it here. BLR is proud to be a part of the travel-loving, adventure-seeking, yummy food-searching network of resources!
Have you started your Gogogbot passport yet?
Log on and get stamping!
Hey loyal readers!
Final touches are going on the new BLR site. (Happy dance! YIPPEE! Too bad we aren’t on Skype right now.) Of course we have put our vision into play, but are all about feedback and pie in the sky wishes. Especially for anyone who’s stuck around riding out this adventure with us for the past 3 years. We always want to hear about what you love to see here!
If anyone out there has a “I wish to see this or that”- please shoot me a note. We will see what we can do.
Can’t wait for you all to be sticking around for the next 3, errr…333 years!
Vinny was the amazing, dancing step great-grandpa from a friends wedding a couple weeks ago. What an absolute riot and adorable spirited 97 year old man…
…channeling some serious Frank Sinatra and even throwing in a little striptease action!
After his dance and the cake cutting, I stopped at his table to tell him I thought he was one fine dancer. I asked if I could have a picture taken with him. He was delighted at my request:
He was also very thankful for my compliments and said: “Well, thank you young lady, the name is Vinny. Vinny Vasta, from East 39th street in New York!” (And they he pulled out his drivers license to confirm his age. He was very proud.)
I have to tell you, it was one of the cutest things I have ever experienced. This man at 97, was more full of life than most 7 year olds. He had that perfect amount of sass and sweet that reminded me very much of my own grandpa who grew up in Brooklyn.
Thanks for the dance and making us all smile Vinny. I hope to be as full of life as you are in 65 years.
