You know when something is there and you just take it for granted.

You know when an old friend is just down the road, and you don’t hang out that often, but when you do, you never want the night to end.

You know when you meet a new friend, and you get along so wonderfully, that you just don’t want the day to end.

You know when you have seen your neighbor down the road and never really took the time to talk with him or her, but when you do, you just don’t want  the conversation to end.  But when it does you look forward to hanging out again.

You remember when you were a kid, and you just learned something new in school that just inspired you so much you wanted to tell the world.

Well, that all happened to me and my wife this weekend as Melissa and I celebrated our “better late then never” first Anniversary.

I will share most of those stories with you in the days and weeks to come, so keep watching and reading when you can.

To everyone I met or talked with this weekend…Thanks for inspiring me.

The North Fork of Long Island is a special place and I want everyone to enjoy the bounty that it offers.  There is something for everyone.
