May 27th, 2008 From a woman whose husband struggles with an addiction to pornography:

May 26th, 2008 As always, we are powerless to resist their awesomeness. This weekend we made the trip once again to see the Blue Angels at the Jones Beach Air Show.
There was something for everyone — a ferry ride, sun & surf, a meet-up with cousins, crazy noisy jets performing wild maneuvers, and young, dashingly handsome fighter pilots …
