Aussie bowling !

Play Time

Draw a Stick Man. Fun for the kids.

Occupy Wall Street

So I finally went down to check out Occupy Wall Street. It's a lot smaller than I expected. The people are definitely friendly and I walked through the whole tent city and saw a mix of smiling people, depressed people, debating people, and a decent turnout of weirdos. Here are a few pictures for those who are curious to see what it looks like.

Eamonn's show at the Kennedy Center

Mabou Mines Dollhouse, the show that Eamonn has been touring with off and on for the last (ahem) ten years now is coming to the Kennedy Center next week.

Inside scoop: if you want to come, come Saturday because the cast will be closest to the original that night

Hiking

Mac and me, enjoying the sunny fall weather. Note: Hat knitted by Isabel :)

Annapolis Farrell population goes up by 4 overnight

The Ben Farrells (incl Justus, Nico and Erika...who is technically a Henderson) expanded the family union roster in Local 410 officially on Saturday, October 2nd by taking residency at 938 Langdon Ct, Annapolis, MD.
Initial agenda items for the family were:
- attend the Annapolis Boat Show, with aspirations WAYYY beyond their financial means
- attend a Navy football game
- eat...ahem, "pick" crabs
- buy a sailboat (see item 1 above)
- bask in the glow of being Brian Farrell's cousin. Good for a free beer at many local sports pubs.
- attend a Ravens game and figure out why they shout "O!" when there is no O in Ravens
- make T-shirts that say "Go Oravens!"
- surf fish Assateague, bring home dinner
- finally make that bowling date after Thanksgiving

We have no land line, so cell phones and email are the only way to reach us.
Ben 415.305.3850 benjaminsbox (at) gmail.com
Erika 415.377.9913 erikahenderson (at) me.com

Good Luck Katie !! We are all pulling for you.

Jenny in London!

World Wild of Animals

My friend Kurt wanted to make a web series so we decided to write fake facts about animals. I think this is probably rated PG-13 but then again - I'm an idiot.

Kurt Braunohler's World Wild of Animals: Dolphins - watch more funny videos

Brian and Annie... we are so proud of you. Things didn't turn out as you hoped..but oh boy, Brian...what a college lacrosse career you had !!! Congrats on getting to the National Championships. We love and support you both !

Terrapin fever !! Take it all the way Brian and Annie !!! So exciting !

Grace interviews Lonely Island

Grace got hired by G4 (FYI: For the over 30 crowd: its a cable network) to interview the SNL comedy group "The Lonely Island." She nailed it.

Good Luck Brian and Annie !!! We're all behind you !!

Yay to Brian, recipient of the "Charles P McCormick Award", for his Baltimore contributions to athletics !! So proud of you Brian !

Big Day for Brian and Annie:

Both the UM Men's and Women's Lacrosse teams won the ACC tournament today!

The ladies beat UNC 12-7 and the men bettered Duke at a score of 11-9.

CONGRATS to all!!!!! If you were there and have photos, put 'em up!

Go get 'em Brian and Annie !!

The most boring thing in the world.

LA is really fun. I've had dozens of augmentations and lifts since I've arrived. Basically, I have "lunch" with rich people and act like they're so cool and then write fart jokes for the PG-13 crowd. I am staying in the same hotel the Muchkins from Wizard of Oz stayed in while they were shooting. Other than that its zzz zzz zzz. I did do my first "pod cast" but I would say that you should only watch it if you have absolutely nothing else to do: http://youtu.be/hCNZNWEJmlQ

So I decided to create a flickr account for the family so that we could organize / pool images. The link is above and I'll put a link in the sidebar.

Anyone can feel free to use this. The login and password are the same as they are for this blog. Enjoy!

Minnie's Retirement Dinner

A great evening with family celebrating Minnie's retirement!!! LOOKING GOOD!

Good luck Scott out west !

Congrats to Minnie for 30 years in Baltimore County as a dedicated teacher ! (plus elsewhere) She will be celebrating this wed. night at a retirement party given by faculty, and accompanied by friends and family in her honor. You deserve it, Minnie !

Proving that age is just a number

Auntie turned 90 this past weekend and celebrated by jumping out of a plane.
Ok not really, but she is going to be on a flight in an open cockpit airplane thanks to her kids/grandkids.
They also gave her the garb to go with it.

These are honestly the best photos I've seen in a long time.






HAPPY 90th Amelia Earheart Tunney !!!

Alex is the BIG WINNER!

Congrats to Alex for winning the 2010-2011 Farrell Family Brackets (and managing to have a semi-respectable bracket in an otherwise dismal NCAA Men's Bball Tourney.)

Drew, I know it pains you to let it go, but the medal must now be shipped out west where it will reside in a place of honor (TBD).

Bravo!

And then there were two

Sure there are FOUR teams left in the tourney, but only two competitors remain who could take the coveted, spectacular, gold (spray painted) engraved Farrell Family Bracketologist medal. And it all will be decided tomorrow in game two:

If Kentucky wins, Drew retains the prize and becomes the first back-to-back winner in the history of...well, this elite competition.

If Connecticut wins, Alex adds another prize to his fantasy sports trophy room--I hear he may put the medal up in the nursery to let the kid know what he has to live up to.

NEVERTHELESS, it is easier to be excited about a Drew or Alex victory than Calhoun or Calipari heading to the finals--like picking between Hitler or Mussolini.

Stay Tuned!

Elite 8

Frankly, we're all over the map, people.

Drew, Will, and Keeley retain some semblance of pick 'em pride at the top. Minnie, John, and Alex are middling while the rest of the Landes crew and the duo of Tomattie are in the basement.

HOWEVAH, there are other possible upsets a' brewin' :



Figuring in total possible points remaining, Will, Keeley, Alex and Tomattie have far and away the highest points total. It's really a 4 horse race at this point.

Who will be in contention after today's matches? STAY TUNED!
