Some pics from Bimmerstock in Glen Cove on September 12th. In addition to the bimmers, there was a huge variety of exotic cars there.  My goal was to check out a 458 Italia in person - mission accomplished. Check out all the photos on Flickr here.

Had a great day out with Raman, Nina and Shun at Morton Wildlife Refuge in Sag Harbor.  The birds eat out of your hands, and we were quite close to having a chipmunk do the same.

This guy was just staring at me and wasn’t moving.  So I grabbed my camera and got a few cool shots.  Anyone know what this is?

Charlie and I made a pact to try the KFC Double Down when I was in DC this week, and we followed through.  Jenny happily joined in, and we somehow convinced Ross and Cyrus to try it as well.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's two fried chicken breasts playing the part of the bread in an unholy sandwich of bacon, cheese and... um.. "Colonel's Sauce".

Turns out it was pretty good!  Well, according to Jenny, Charlie and I it was, but Ross and Cy felt sick.  Jenny and I got bonus points for dipping it in our mashed potatoes and gravy.

Then we played with CoCo to try to unclog our arteries.

We somehow ended up at a charity art auction tonight, and we actually bid on something!  It was a lot more exciting than we expected and we discovered that you kind of get wrapped up in the frenetic pace of it all.

When we were outbid, they had a guy come over just to try to coax us into upping our bid again.  Hard sell.

It was a really nice ink printing, and we almost had it...

The charity was Splashes of Hope, who paint murals and ceiling tiles for medical patients.  They did some of the art for Stony Brook pediatrics, where Robyn works.

We rode Australia's Favourite Steam Train (http://www.puffingbilly.com.au/) yesterday. It takes people on a scenic journey through the Dandenong mountain ranges.

At our Emerald Station destination, there was a Thomas the Tank Engine show, and as you could guess, it was a big hit with all the kids.

We went for a morning hike on the Sherbrooke Creek Trail in the Dandenong National Park and were lucky enough to catch a lyrebird and a wallaby on the path. We've been pretty lucky spotting iconic animals on this trip.
