Oh my frickin bananas!! It's been a month since I've posted anything. Well, work's going fine. Can't stand Other Fred because he's still mad about the competition. Come on, Other Fred! That was a year ago or about anyway. JC's getting out of school in less than 2 months, can't wait for summer!!

Summer

Well, summer's almost over. We finally made it to Chincoteague a couple days ago. All I've done is laze around in bed every day. Once we get back, I can't wait for the fall season to begin. You know why? 'Cause I have a job to get ba---wait. I don't have a job!

Hurricane Irene

So I've heard about this Hurricane Irene. And I also hear that it's going to affect my annual vacation to Chincoteague Island! WHY?????!!!!!!!! And one more thing..... why isn't there a Hurricane Fred?

Sincerely,
One seriously confused sock monkey

More pictures

This is me in the car, holding a rose that Chocolate got at a very good (at least, this is what I hear) Italian restaurant in Montreal, Canada. Anyone wanna tango?
Me at the American side of Niagara Falls. I was actually a little afraid of the hill but Fish held me on the railing, so I was good. I had to ride in a backpack just to get there!
Not much to see here. You'll notice the background behind me is green. I'm in Vermont, of course! Fish and her family went to the Ben & Jerry's there (that's where it started!). The line was too long, so they ended up buying pints instead. Two flavors: Mint Chocolate for Garlic and Pepsi (Fish's mom's new food name) and Boston Cream Pie for Fish and Chocolate. NO BANANA FLAVORED ICE CREAM??!!!! HOW DARE YOU, BEN AND JERRY'S!!!!!!! YOU'LL BE HEARING THIS FROM MY LAWYER. Wait. I don't have a lawyer.
Me in Pennsylvania. Last stop before we came home.

Pictures of Fred in Canada/ New York (more to come and not in order)

Here I am at Tim Horton's, which is kinda like a Canadian Dunkin' Donuts. They have them all over Canada and a few in New York.
Here I am, wearing Fish's sunglasses (don't I look cool?). I'm sitting in a chair at this cool and dumb hotel in Niagara, New York. What makes it stupid is the casino attached to it and what makes it cool is the atmosphere in the hallway. Lots of restaurants and a big fountain.
This is me in Rome, New York, sitting on a couch. We were just about to leave for Niagara that same day.

This is me in D.C., the first day of traveling. I am near the Macy's Mall.

IT'S TOO HOT!!!!

Ok, so by the title of this post, you can tell that this post is about the current heat situation in the US. Ok, enough with the fancy words.

It's hot. Summer's supposed to be hot, right? Duh. I know what you're thinking. Actually, I know what you're not thinking. Sock monkeys don't usually leave their houses at all. Of course. But my mother, Mama Sock Monkey, had to run to the supermarket today to buy more bananas and of course, had to drive through a heat wave. Then she called me on the phone and complained how hot it was. Since I'm the oldest, she complains to me the most.

Anyway.....

Dear Weather People,
DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!
Warm regards,
Fred

Summer Vacation

Ah. Summer vacation. A perfect opportunity to kick back with a banana and relax. Fish (JC, but people should be aware of the food names. Some of her friends do not have food names so they will be called by their initials) has not been feeling so good but I hope she gets better.

Summer and bananas

Today is the summer solstice and the last day of school for JC, some call it: June 21st. I can smell summer in the atmosphere. Or maybe those are just bananas. Anyway, JC has a lot more time to spend at home with me and the chances are very high (or at least according to me) that she will have more time to give me bananas. OK, as you can see, I'm just trying to drop hints here so I'll make this clear: I WANT SOME BANANAS. HAVE I MADE MY POINT?
