A day to remember..Mary Margaret Ahern

September 29th, 2004 was a very sad day for me and those who knew and loved Mary, she died that morning almost a year after having a terrible head injury, months of chronic pain, and fighting depression.

Funny, fiery, a beautiful girl, but over that last year of her life we only caught glimpses of the Mary we knew and loved.


12/28/1966-9/29/2004

Today, as we have for the past three years , friends and family gathered together and celebrated Mary's life, shared some of the stories , cried a little, laughed a little, it was a good day to remember , as Mary's Mom calls her, "Our Precious Butterfly"

R.I.P. My Love

Bridge to Nowhere


Click for larger size

The bridge you see was once known as the Carlton Bridge and it spanned the Kennebec River in Maine connecting the Ship Building City of Bath and the town Woolwich but it's been replaced by a new bridge, to the left of the tracks, which is named the Sagadahoc Bridge, named after the county in Maine.

Bath , home to the General Dynamics Company "Bath Iron Works", just to the right of the "bridge to nowhere you can see the cranes which are a part of the shipyard, which has built and or designed hundreds of military vessels including today's most advanced class of Destroyer.

The Works is one of Maine's largest employers.

I was trying out the Panoramic Feature on my Fuji Camera..Still working on technique !!

Have a great day

In other news we received a Scenic Picture from another one of our Trivia Player's

JLO went to visit one of the many Natural wonders in Scenic State of New Hampshire over the summer...


The Flume Gorge in Franconia State Park

In Sporting News:

The IQ attended last nights baseball game in San Diego where he was able to see Manny Ramirez hit 2 Home Runs and knock in 4 RBI's to POWER the LA Dodgers over the San Diego Padres to extend there lead to 3 1/2 games and remain in 1st place in their division

Too bad the Sox didn't have any power last night as they lost their game in 14 innings, The heart of the order, Youkilis, Ortiz and the affable Jason Bay combined for an anemic 0 for 14 against the 1st place Tampa Bay Devil Rays !!

And I stayed up to watch!!


Can't Wait For Sunday's Patriots Game

Trivia Players Picture Series, The IQ


I received a Trivia Player's picture today, and he looks like a force to be reckoned with..well I don't know about that. He's certainly having some fun out there off the coast of Southern California out on Catalina Island.



The IQ also sent me this picture which gave me a good idea...

The Trivia Picture Series will be happy to post any scenic shots you may want to share from wherever you are from or maybe a vacation spot you visited recently.

You don't even have to be in the picture, but hey...wouldn't you have more fun just Striking a Pose !!

As I have said before, my EMAIL is on the sidebar
