Because it was there.
While at Brian and Nadia’s place up in Toronto for their wedding, I stumbled on a book called “Toothpaste for Dinner”, a series of comics with a great sense of humor. I came upon this one, which really made me LOLOTFOMG or whatever. It was funny.

I went to the Red Sox vs. Yankees game with my father today. Even though the Sox lost in the ugliest way possible, I still had a great time with my Dad. We went to Pizzeria Uno’s for lunch before the game and had a couple of Sam Adams Summer Ales. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. When we arrived at our seats, this was the view.
Season four begins September 18. I am very excited.
Three times a year, Brimfield holds the most popular antique show in the country. This week is one of those three. Sarah and I went with my mother for our first time to hopefully score some decorations for the basement when it is complete. We were unprepared for what we found.
When they say this thing is huge, they aren’t kidding. There are 21, yes 21, fields of vendors spanning over a mile stretch of Route 20 in Brimfield. We’re not talkin’ ’bout practice, we’re talkin’ ’bout over 5,000 vendors. Anything and everything can be found here.
Some numbers of our trip:
3.75: hours spent walking and browsing the sale.
1/2: the amount of the show we saw as we briskly strolled by.
40: total dollars spent on items purchased, not including parking, food, and a $5 entrance fee per person to get into one of the fields.
5: number of items found to be extremely racist at one dealer’s booth.
1: number of minorities seen at the entire show (I wish more were there, so that dealer could’ve got his dues).
1 million: things that could have been purchased by the Irish’s during our visit, had money not been an issue (According to my mom).
