| New Years 08 |
 |
New Years again! And back to Saratoga Springs we traveled to revel in the fun (and cold). Jason, Krissy and I met Leanne, Katie, and eventually Mike and Melanie out and about the town. There was merriment, drinks, fireworks, and good times. Overall a good New Years celebration! |
| Balsam Lake Mtn. Hike |
 |
Madisons very first hike! Lesley, Suave, Jason, Dodger and I all joined Maddie on her very first hike in the mountains. Things kinda got off to a rough start when Jason dislocated his pinky on some rocks and we spent a few hours hanging out in a country hospital waiting for the doctor to reset it. But We still managed to get a 6 mile hike in and then went home to enjoy some tasty soup (Prepared by the phenomenal chef, Lesley!) and watch a great movie! |
| Road Trip 07 |
 |
Leanne has finished school and needed to drive her car home. Who was the sucker that volunteered for the job? You, me! Just to let you know, road trips are nothing like how they seem in the movies. But we both came away with some really great stories! |
| Thatchers Park |
 |
Suavicles, Lesley, Jersey Joe, Joes wife Angie, their daughter Autumn went for a walk along the cliffs in Thatchers park. Of course Suave, Joe and I acted like monkeys and were scolding by all three women! But at least we all had fun! |
| Canoeing the Fulton Chain Lakes |
 |
Greg, Dad, and I spent a long weekend up in the Adirondacks canoeing, camping, and eating well. I was a bit cool and wet, but overall we all had a great time! |
| St.Pattys Day 2007 |
 |
Erock, Vincent, Greg, Sean and myself went back to the Parting Glass for another festive celebration of St Patricks Day! We all got drunk, made new friends, and some of us made asses outta ourselves! A successful adventure all around! |
| Yosemite |
 |
The trip of a life time!! Suave, Jimmy, Vincent and I went on a 10 day backpacking trip to Yosemite National Park, California. I can honestly say I have never been to a place more beautiful! |
| Disney 2005 |
 |
Thanksgiving and Disney with the Tetreaults! We all went down to Jacksonville to spend time with Wendy and to enjoy some tasty, tasty turkey! Then we were off to Disney! This was my first time there, so I was excited to see what all the hype was about. I have to admit, I had a pretty good time! After the rest of the family went home, Becky and I spent a few days by ourselves enjoying the Wilderness Lodge and the rest of the park all by ourselves. Great times! |
| Saras Wedding |
 |
The big bash in Jacksonville!!! Sara Shaw is now officially Sara Suarez and we add another victim member to the Shaw extended family. We also took a little side trip to Disney world. |
| Moving Suave |
 |
Suave has finally moved to Albany and what better way to celebrate than to help him move all of his crap! Well, to be fair some of it was Lesleys crap. Becky, JV, Pitar, Madison, and I all drove out to Moddleton to help with the festivities. Stu and his wife were there to help as well! Party! |
| Hike to the Pine Orchards |
 |
We all wanted to go for a hike one weekend, but were at a loss as to where to go. We considered many different trails, but ended up settling on hiking to the falls near Lake Sacadaga. When we got there we found out that the road was blocked off and would add 10-12 miles to the 4 mile hike. Suave made a quick discion to try a different hike: Pine Orchards. That one did not really work out either: too buggy, too hot, and we did not have enough time. Yet, I think we all had a fun day just hanging out. |
| St Pattys Day 2006 |
 |
We spent St Pattys Day in Saratoga Springs again this year listening to the musical musings of The McKrells who played for an amazing 5 Hours! I do believe that everyone had a great time! |
| Jays New Jeep |
 |
Jay, Suave, Radic (Suaves roomate), Jimmy, and I spent a weekend putting a new lift and bigger tires on Jays Jeep. Check out how cool it looks! |
| Buck Mtn Revisited |
 |
It was a boys weekend when Eric "Erock" Klym, Jason "Crazy" Vincent, Prat "Destroyer of PCs" Krishnamoorthy, and I decided to tackle Buck Mountain on the east side of Lake George. I did not think I was going to make the entire hike, but the guys helped me make the top. Badge Earned! |
| St. Patricks Day 2005 |
 |
Of course there is no better place to spend St. Patricks day, than in an Irish pub listen to a great Irish band. So where was I that day? The Parting Glass in Saratoga Springs, of course! The McKrells were playing all night, and as the pictures prove, there was plenty of Guiness as well! |
| Our Anniversary |
 |
Becky and I had our 1 year anniversary on December 13th. We went back to NYC for the weekend and saw alot of the tourist attraction that we have never been to or had not been to in years. |
| Old Orchard Beach, Maine |
 |
Old Orchard Beach is a great place to spend a week relaxing. I joined Becky and her family for a week at the ocean. We played mini golf, we went swimming, we hung out at the beach, we shot stuff with shotguns...who could ask for a better vacation? |
| New Years 2005 |

The gang went to Saratoga again this year and I think we all had a great time. Before hand we had stopped at the Van Dyke for some dinner and fez wearing fun. Later we met up with Beckys parents and relatives at the Parting Glass just in time for the fireworks! |

| The McKrells at The Parting Glass |
 |
The McKrells are a great local Irish band. I have seen them a few times and they have always put on a great show. This night they were playing at The Parting Glass in Saratoga Springs. The Parting Glass is a great time all by itelf, but add in the great music of the McKrells and your in for a guaranteed good time! |

 |
This adventure will provide stories for quite some time!! Eric "E-Rock" Klym will soon be married, and Dave "The Thinker" Grover, Jason "Crazy" Vincent, I had decided that we would make one of his last weekends as a bachelor one of the best. Months of planning and preparations went into making sure E-rock would remember this party for quite some time.

This adventure is the first in the "Old Skool" series of adventures. Eric "Ace" Klym, Jason "Crazy" Vincent, and Josh "Dangers" Vincent joined me on a trip to sunny Marthas Vineyard. Is it just a coincidence that JFK jr. crashed his plane there that very same weekend? I guess we will never know... |
| Off Roading with the Crazies |

With things to see like the YCC, the Lego car, The Dodge Ram SRT-10, and Camp Jeep NY, there was really great stuff to see! |
| The Land of the Leprechauns |
 |
This has been my biggest adventure yet. Three Vincents and myself, had traveled many miles in search of tiny people with pots of gold and not so tiny "Publicans" with pints of Guiness. Though we did not find gold, we did find a country full of inviting people, green countrysides, medieval ruins, and healthy drinkers. |

Of course Jason "Crazy" Vincent was there as well as Kristina "The Flake" Shaw, Becky "Little Miss Hottie" Tetreault, and Beckys Friend, "I like taking guys hats" Shelly.

This adventure took Jason "Crazy" vicnent and myslef back to Alfred, NY, but this time we were there to visit Greg "The Man" Shaw.

Jason "Crazy" Vincent, Eric "Ace" Klym, and I journeyed to Alfred, NY to bring my sister Kristina "The Flake" Shaw home for Christmas. We left on friday night right after work. Once we got there we ventured forth to a place known in Alfred as "Alexs". There we met the lovely Amanda, Kristen, and Ali. After spilling a beer on Jason, getting locked out of Krissys apartment, getting stabbed in the leg with a piece of glass, and breaking a window to get in, we all decided that we had had enough for one evening. |

| The Tight Squeeze: Part 2 |
 |
Darrell Bush took the gang back to the cave in Clarksville. This time we had a smaller group and we knew the area some what, so we felt like being more adventurous. The group this time consisted of The Infragable Suave Emr, Jason "JV" Vincent", Darrell, and myself. At first we tried the second entrance to the cave, but after a short walk in we were met by a room full of water. But we heard voices. We had a small conversation with someone on the other side. Soon, a very wet man poped out from the water. We had met up with a scout troop that was just finishing their visit to the cave. Not wanting to get that wet so soon, we followed the scout troop back out of the cave. We tried another entrance to the cave that started with a wooden ladder. But after an initial investigationof the entrance I decided to just try the main entrance. Everyone else agreed and we trecked onward. Enjoy! |

This is my first large group adventure. I was invited to join the East Coast 4 Wheel Drive Association, Region D, for the Food Drive Trail Ride.

Join us as we relive the pitfalls and triumphs of that lovely autumn day in: "Paul Shaw and the Conneticut Crazys" |
| The Ghost of the Drunken Bastard |

This adventure took my cohorts and I into the secret depths of the paranormal. In Schenectady, there is a tale of a ghost of a young woman who on the first full moon of the summer, wanders from down by the Mohawk River up to Jacksons Gardens on the Union College campus. As we searched for a sign of the ghost, we noticed a faint whiff of bourbon on the air and suddenly heard drunken laughter. Unfortunately, we did not find the young woman, but we found a very belligerent and drunken ghost whose purpose in the afterlife was to torment the living. Join me as we relate this horrifying and ghastly tale, "The Ghost of the Drunken Bastard" |
| The Cup of Saint Martinele |

This is my very first adventure in this series. I was joined by Ace Maverick and Eduardo Lapstrake. Eduardo was hired as guide for the adventure into the Temple of Saint Martinele. Little did Ace and I know that Eduardo had his own plans for the cup. In the end, the good guys won. However I do not think we have seen the last of Eduardo Lapstrake. |
