Catch up time: Matt, Jerry, Jeannie, and Becky
Boy, it’s been a while since our last post. And for those of you who check here occasionally and find some small delight in seeing something new, I apologize. It’s not that there hasn’t been anything to blog about in the last two months since we’ve have had some great visits from our Georgia family and friends. And despite the fact that each of these could and should be in their own post, I’m going to give you the digest version.
First, while Ashley and I were traipsing about the North Country, Jerry flew up for a week of dog-sitting and sight-seeing. He also managed to have brief starring rolls in both the Today Show and 30 Rock. Although I don’t have any screen shots of his small screen debut, I do have a picture of his dog-sitting. (note - this is not a natural position for Murphy unless she’s REALLY tired)

P.S., we also went to the U.S Open and there is a screenshot of the back of Jerry’s head floating around on email somewhere. If you’re interested, email us or post a comment.
Next up: Matt Norton. This was a monumental trip for my brother who generally doesn’t venture this far from Newnan. Well, I shouldn’t say it’s unheard of because he has gone on trips to San Francisco and Alaska, but this was his first solo trip and pretty much his idea. We had a great time while he was here… in fact, Ashley, Matt, and I went to see a Yankees/Toronto game which was a first for all three of us. Although I’m not a Yankees fan, I definitely appreciated going to see a game at historic Yankees Stadium before it is demolished. Matt and I also spent Saturday afternoon walking midtown New York and did the NBC studio tour… who knew Conan’s sound stage was so small. After dinner, we went to see some improv comedy at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater some of which Matt and I still quote - “you got Looned!”
At the end of September, Ashley’s mom and our good family friend Becky Harris came for a visit when I flew to Atlanta to go to the Georgia/Old Miss game. This was Becky’s first time in New York and was her first time flying - ever. Jeannie and Becky stayed at the Ritz for two nights, and the three of them spent the weekend traveling all over Manhattan, shopping and sight-seeing. They even went to see “A Chorus Line” on Sunday, and we have proof.That’s all for the recent visits.
