                    Well, as we have been back from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hiltonhead.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Hilton Head &lt;/a&gt;and parts &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn2UBAyzL_k&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;South&lt;/a&gt; for over a month now - I thought, &quot;What the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tesh.com/ittrium/visit?path=A1x97x1y1xa5x1x76y1x3e70x1x65&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;hell&lt;/a&gt; . . . Why not upload those vacation pitures that have been eating up &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesia&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;my memory&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a brief synopsis of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.journeymusic.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;journey&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all started well . . . The Pickle got everthing packed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/medium_packing.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/thumb_packing.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_packing.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon arrival The Wife and Pickle hit the Pool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/medium_swimming_with_mom.2.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/thumb_swimming_with_mom.2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_swimming_with_mom.2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the true purpose of a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial_killers/notorious/manson/murder_1.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;family&lt;/a&gt; vacation to let the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slystonemusic.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;family&lt;/a&gt; smother the baby with kisses while mom and dad sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/medium_with_auntie_and_gram_gram.2.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/thumb_with_auntie_and_gram_gram.2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_with_auntie_and_gram_gram.2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But enough of this goofing off- we soon hit the road for one of the South's most beautiful destinations, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.savannah.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Savannah&lt;/a&gt;.  We did so under the direction and guidance of our navigator - El Pickle.  The trip took longer than anticipated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/medium_the_navigator.2.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/thumb_the_navigator.2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_the_navigator.2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey Pickle, What do think bout &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dvdtalk.com/adult/avn2004/avn117.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Savannah&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/medium_thumbs_up.2.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/thumb_thumbs_up.2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_thumbs_up.2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, lets explore then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/medium_walkin_in_Savanah.2.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/thumb_walkin_in_Savanah.2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_walkin_in_Savanah.2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dvdtalk.com/adult/avn2004/avn147.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Savannah&lt;/a&gt; is pretty cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/medium_stuff.2.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://andthentherewaspickle.blogspirit.com/images/thumb_stuff.2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;medium_stuff.2.jpg&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 0; margin: 0.7em 0;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But at some point you have to eat, and we did in the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thepirateshouse.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;oldest standing building in Georgia&lt;/a&gt; - where Robert Louis Stevenson wrote &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0684171600/104-0830793-4211946?v=glance&amp;n=283155&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Treasure Island&lt;/a&gt;.

                    OK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to popular demand, I will give some updates on posts and life in pickledom.  I generally just rant about my concerns, but I suppose I could give some honest to god info.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My interview went very well, and I am even more excited about the job now than before.  The sad news is that they have a ton of candidates, and I wont know for a couple of weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Pickle said Dada.  Actually The Pickle is repetitively saying DADATHATHADABADADADTHATHA, but there was one time where she looked at me in the eyes and only said &quot;dada&quot;.  I came in my pants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is now mobile.  She isn't technically crawling but she does alternating moves of combat crawl and on all fours fall forward.  Her favorite is coaxial, but if she finds herself in a bad place she'll settle for phone line or speaker wire (the coaxial is saltier - that's where the cat pees).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks to all of you linkers my technorati rank number is now less than 200,000.  I am so close to victory I can smell it.  P.S. if any of you fellow bloggers out there get chocolates in the mail - try them, they're really good - especially the ones that smell like almonds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seem to have acquired a nice, fun group of friends out there, and I would like to thank you all for your comments and support.  I enjoy reading how my psychosis relates to yours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope all of you enjoy my recent addition of advertising.  I am one step closer to retirement now.  I'm just not sure how they connect material to ads.  I'm just glad they haven't wised up about me, and started to put the penis enhancement links here too.  That would be really risky on their part - because we're not allowed to click on our own links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope everyone is doing well, and I will post as soon as I hear anything about employment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pickle's Papa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. almost forgot - NEW PICS at Pickle's Paparazzi

                    Hi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is cool.  For those of you who cant tell  - I am not a great photographer.  Our friends and neighbors of several doors down (David and Judy), really just Judy - is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She has, since the birth of The Pickle, taken to photoing da squdge on a fairly regular basis.  Firstly - they have a good internet connection so they can upload photos quickly.  Secondly - they take much better pics than the wife and I.  Thirdly - Judy wants to do it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I am saying is that Judy has decided to manage an online photo album of cool Pickle Pics.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She suggested it and thought that a cool name would be &lt;a href=&quot;http://picklespaparazzi.blogspirit.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Pickle's Paparaszzi &lt;/a&gt;(which is funny). . . so there you go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have created the site for her and have made the link available on this blog (up right).  I know that she has a life and all, so it may not be up and running tomorrow - but I know her breed of OCD will come through for us all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THANK YOU JUDY!!!!
