September 19, 2003- National Talk Like a Pirate Day…Arrrr!
This be an actual holiday. Heather learned National Talk Like a Pirate Day from a co-worker. Since it was just t'twoo'us, we came up with t'ideat'drink Captain n’ Coke, eat Hawaiian pizza (because if pirates ate pizza, that’s t'kind they would eat), while watchin' “Muppet Treaaye Island” (because it’s a kick-ass movie). West Coast Video did not have “Muppet Treaaye Island” on DVD so we settled on “Treaaye Planet.” This was not a kick-ass movie, so we turned it off a half-hour into it and decided that watchin' episodeso'“Sex in t'City” counted towards t'holiday becauseo't'‘booty’ factor.

September 1, 2003- Labor Day “Everybody Gets Laid on Labor Day.”
If you want to get technical, the idea for the Labor Day picnic was inspired by Elizabeth Ann. The "Tailgate in a Box" she got me for my birthday came just in time for our final big summer holiday celebration. Heather and I decided that since we kicked off our summer holiday celebrations with a BBQ (remember Arbor Day?) We thought it would be most fitting to end our summer celebrations the same way.
Rye Harbor State Park, located along the Atlantic Ocean, is the perfect place to spend the day picnicking. The view of the ocean is breathtaking, and just a small walk downhill brings you to a small, quiet stretch of beach.
Rob, Lisa, Jonica, Corey, Katherine, Mike, Scott, Heather and I spent a lazy Sunday enjoying one of the last beautiful days of summer eating, playing twister and listening to the Red Sox lose to the Yankees.
(I was not thrilled about that last bit.)
As with every holiday, we learn something new:
1. Even though the packaging says not to add additional lighter fluid, it’s okay to do so if you are actually thinking about eating.
2. Twister is fun, no matter how old you are.
3. People actually do get laid on Labor Day.
