Just went to a new bar in epping. The Holy Grail. It is irish/english/medeival themed. Pretty nice inside layout. If you drink all 20 beers on tap and 20 bottled beers they will put your cote of arms on the wall. The food was good. We had the Scotch Eggs and they were really different. Basically a hard boiled egg with a thick coating of sausage+batter and deep fried. We also had Adams Rib appetizer. They were pork ribs and had a lot of meat on them.

I hit a deer last night with the 4runner driving home from work. It was about 6:00pm and twilight. Hood, front grill, front quarter panel were damaged. It looks expensive.

Hey amber my daughter just added a wordpress blog for the whole family to contribute to. She made it private so I wont show the access here. the web site is davisfamilyblog

Went to NYC over the weekend to visit son Aaron. We had a good time.

Saturday we ate at an afghan restaurant. Then went to 911. Took some pics. Basically a big hole in the ground.

Then went to the battery. Very nice. It is at the southern most tip of Manhattan. We could see an artificial waterfall across the East river on the Brooklyn waterfront. Don't remember the name of the artist which did it. People fishing, tour boats, etc.

Then we went to the American International Building in the financial district. This building used to be called 60 wall tower and my grandfather George W. Saathoff was the chief engineer. It was built in 1932.

After that we went to see a movie in Union sq. "Hancock". I liked it. Got home about midnight at Aaron's apartment in Brooklyn.

Next day Sunday we went out to brunch at Quintessence which is a raw food restaurant. I had a eggs florentine (no eggs). My son had eggs benedict. My wife had the indian platter.Very good. We want to try Pure Foods and Wine the next time we are in Manhattan. Both restaurants are within 8 blocks of union sq.

After that my son went to work at The Strand bookstore. We went in and browsed books for a couple of hours.

Then we went home. 4 1/2 hour drive. Ugh!
