If you’re anything like us, you’ve been breathlessly following Egg Pelley’s road trip across Canada on the Devils website. We don’t want the Devils site to have cooler content than IPB, though, so we sent our very own celebrity on a similar road trip, and here’s the report on his journey.
Given the green light by Zach to make this trek, Boxworthy is ready to hit the road.
Nothing’s better than being able to hit the open road and just go where the heart wants to take you, so Boxworthy was thrilled to be able to travel from the back door of stately IPB Manor to the front door, tracking his route and checking in with us as he went. “It is ever so much fun to be able to share one’s travels with Master Zach’s fans,” he said.
Say cheese!
His focus was to get from Point A to Point B, but he wanted to share his experience with Devils fans everywhere, so he brought along a camera. Early in his trip, at the curve where the driveway blacktop meets the brick front walk, he took a moment to admire the sheer rock formation of the retaining wall cliff-face.
The scenery can be stark and impressive in the Driveway Region.
“I very much enjoyed the view when I reached the straightaways of the brick path. The vista out over the rolling prairies of front yard were truly breathtaking,” Boxworthy said.
The front yard prairies this time of year are especially beautiful, with tall dandelion scrubland as far as the turtle eye can see.
The back door to the front door is by no means a short journey, and at times can be desolate. “You must pace yourself carefully,” Boxworthy explained, “For at times you may find yourself the only living soul along the way.”
Timing stops for fuel can be tricky when there is so little sign of turtle civilization nearby.
The most challenging part of the trip was definitely the steep steps along the path. “You mustn’t push too hard or too fast up such a steep climb,” he said, “If a turtle were to flip backwards here, it could be disastrous.”
Boxworthy put all his might into advancing past these obstacles.
After such hard work, he paused to take a breather and reflect back on the distance he’d already traversed.
Boxworthy at rest.
The flats of the front walk are lined with majestic daffodils, and after his grueling climbs Boxworthy enjoyed being able to get some photos of the canopy of the daffodil forest.
It was a bright, sunny day for Boxworthy’s trip.
The shadows were growing longer as Boxworthy’s long trip wended its way closer to his final destination. “Arriving at the front door is thrilling,” he said. “I was especially excited to see the urns with their lovely spring pansies.”
Boxworthy snapped a shot of the towering front-door urns.
For a turtle, the scenery is especially imposing. He had to look straight up to be able to see the flowers at the top of the massive structures.
Taking photos or just taking a breather? Boxworthy will never tell.
After hours of hard travel on a long and lonely road, Boxworthy reached the front door. “It was a marvelous journey, and a process I appreciated greatly,” he said. He was happy to be home, though.
There’s nothing like a welcome party of friends at the end of a long journey.
This was his route from the back door:
10:22 AM The back-door welcome mat
10:30 AM The blacktop beyond the back-door concrete footer
12:30 PM Pookie’s car
1:37 PM The retaining wall cliffs
1:50 PM The brick front path
2:42 PM The first step of the front path
4:14 PM The second step of the front path
5:18 PM The third step of the front path
6:03 PM The front flagstone step of the front porch
6:24 PM The pansy urns at the front door
6:40 PM The front doorjamb
6:53 PM Inside the front door
Total: 75 feet
Wow, what a journey. I’m very impressed by Boxworthy’s fitness level. I’m glad he took his top hat with him though, as it would have been foolish to travel without it under the sun.
And Boxworthy is right, that Driveway Region looks stunning. I hope to visit it one day.

:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: The natural wonders there are truly breathtaking. Needless to day, we hope you can see it in person someday.
And you’re right that Boxworthy was wise to have a sun shield in top hat form. That stretch of brick path can be brutal. (He’s a very fit turtle, by the way. Zach insists on it.)
I should add that Boxworthy’s tender gingham complexion burns very easily, so he never goes far without sunscreen.

Is there a ‘Get Fit with Boxworthy’ DVD coming soon?
Somehow, I don’t think ‘Spin Class with Boxworthy’ would be an easy one for him. I’d be interested to see his version of Zumba!
Is there a ‘Get Fit with Boxworthy’ DVD coming soon?
OMG! There should be! Boxworthy probably loves to rock the Indian clubs.
What an exciting trip for Boxworthy! I love looking at turtles’ travel slides. :D
The only problem with turtles’ travel slides is that the slide shows are interminable. Speed it up, dammit!
Oh my god. We’re watching today’s Semi-Homemade episode, and Aunt Sandy just told us that she’s using canned salsa “because I’m not growing tomatoes and onions.” Apparently semi-homemakers have never heard of the produce section of the grocery store.

They want you to have lots of time to appreciate all the finer details. Such perfectionism is what allows Boxworthy to be such a superlative turtle butler, no doubt.

And geez. At least use JARRED salsa!

I think she has a new and previously undiagnosed vision problem. When she goes into a grocery store, she can’t see anything that isn’t already in a box, a jar, or can. I wonder what doctors/scientists will call this disease.
And geez. At least use JARRED salsa!
Heh. I’ll be fair and admit that she was using jarred. I was misrepresenting her case. :P (But she did still say that it’s either that or growing your own. I didn’t make that up!)

Ew. Stupid Sharks scoring while we’re avoiding the NBC intermission show.
I’ll also add that I love jarred salsa. I’m not snobbing out here, I promise! :P
Understand completely. It was her trying to get away with saying that she had to use it because otherwise she would be forced to garden to get the ingredients.
The mind boggles (or, to quote Kelly Bundy, “The mind wobbles”).
or, to quote Kelly Bundy, “The mind wobbles”
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: In the ingredient step immediately preceding the Salsa Incident, Sandy informed us that we should use pre-made polenta (again, a recipe shortcut I have no problem with at all) instead of using masa because masa “is so difficult to find,” “and you’d have to grow your own corn, shuck it, boil the corn, dry it, boil it again…” Sandy was in FINE form today.
That’s just hilarious, since, after all, you can find polenta that you have to cook for the full amount of time in most grocery stores, as well as finding the pre-cooked polenta – if you want to go that route. I have never looked for masa, so I can’t comment. I have no objection to using pre-cooked polenta and have used it myself, but she’s just off her nut.
My grocery store is TERRIBLE for “ethnic” foodstuffs, and even they sell masa. So yeah, Sandra’s WAY off her nut. :D
I’ll also add that I love jarred salsa. I’m not snobbing out here, I promise! :P)
I knew what you meant! It’s her reasons that are bonkers.
But then I kind of snagged on the “canned” part because I don’t know if I’ve ever seen canned salsa.
This game is part enjoyable, because the Wings look terrible, and part terrible, because I have to look at the Wings.

Okay, if I can be GUARANTEED that will happen, I’ll relent on them in this round. :P
I’m just afraid that if the Red Wings get out of this round we are looking at yet another Cup win for them. I am tired of it.
That would be sweet. I also hate the Preds, but I’d be happy if they knocked out whoever gets to the WCF. And then even happier when Tampa Bay humiliates them in the Finals. :P
I’m just afraid that if the Red Wings get out of this round we are looking at yet another Cup win for them. I am tired of it.
That’s definitely fair. I’ve kind of made my peace with Wings Cups, though, so my theory is that it’s a status quo I can live with rather than having to adjust to life where a team I feel comfortable with their losingness becomes a winner. (Sharks, I’m looking at you. Among others.)
I agree with the status quo theory. I mean, if the Wings win again it’ll be because proven-winners like Lidstrom just added to their reputation. Meanwhile, if the Sharks win, then it’s going to be all, “Hooray, Joe Thorton is the greatest leader ever because he’s a champion!”
We’ll all be on the same side for tonight’s game, right? :D
If the Sharks get to the next round, and then are knocked out by an upstart loser like Nashville, that’s choking, right? It’d be even funnier, even! RIGHT?!!
I think we will, Patty! We can all bond over our shared hatred of the Caps. And shared deep ambivalence about the BOLTS! They’re the last “her?” team left in the playoffs for me, and, considering the rest of the field, that’s about as good as being a die-hard fan.
It’d be even funnier, even! RIGHT?!!
It would be funny, but losing in the second round’s always better than losing in the Conference Final. :P (Really, there are no winners in this Wings/Sharks series. Sigh.)
(Really, there are no winners in this Wings/Sharks series. Sigh.)
Basically.
Boxworthy looks quite dapper. He did a good job chronicling his excellent adventure.
We’ll all be on the same side for tonight’s game, right?
That’s the anti-Caps side, right? I’ll be there.
And Sandra Lee has been getting very defensive on her shows regarding the use of semi-ho techniques. I wonder what has brought that on?
And Sandra Lee has been getting very defensive on her shows regarding the use of semi-ho techniques. I wonder what has brought that on?
I KNOW! She was almost combative about it today. What was with that “If you shop at a grocery store, you cook semi-homemade style” bit? Bitch crazy, yo! (As the kids say these days. :P)
I don’t want to live in a world where the Sharks aren’t chokers.
Seriously. I’ve come to count on that. Of course, I’ve also come to count on the Wings being comfortingly competent so I’d probably be hoping they won anyway. But still, I’m pretty invested in the Sharks being losers at this point.
And count me in on hoping the Caps lose tonight.
Remember when we saw Stamkos get drafted? Ah, memories.

So, if I don’t raise my own chickens, slaughter them, pluck and clean them before roasting them, it’s the same as if I used cans of cream of chicken soup for faux chicken a la king?
She really is off her nut. Truly.
BTW, I’m happy to report that I went to the local Shoprite between games, checked the “baking needs” aisle and there with the other flous/grains were not one but two brands of masa. In the ShopRite in a town in NJ with a population of about 10,000 people. I really think she’s outdone herself today.
Where’s the draft this year?
Minnesota
Gosh, this year has dragged. I thought Minnesota was last year. :P
I think that was LA.
So, if I don’t raise my own chickens, slaughter them, pluck and clean them before roasting them, it’s the same as if I used cans of cream of chicken soup for faux chicken a la king?
Yes. That’s exactly what she’s saying. Heh. (And HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! for checking on the masa!)
Gosh, this year has dragged. I thought Minnesota was last year.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read in quite some time. Not sure what that says about my life. Or yours. I love his camera the best!
Thanks, kristin! I’m interpreting that all to mean that you and I have very, very, very cool lives.
The best thing is, Kristin, Boxworthy’s camera is surely a Ricoh!
I love that Guy Boucher wouldn’t let Pierre interview him in-game in his volcano lair.
I hate that the Caps haven’t just fallen into a volcano somewhere.

Me too. It makes me very pro-Boucher. The man must be a genius.

He must be! (And with that scar on his face and his propensity for intense glaring, he’s clearly an evil genius, which is even better.) When Pierre told us Boucher had “respectfully declined” the interview request, Boomer was all, “I wouldn’t have been respectful!” So that’s the one thing he’s done wrong with this whole Pierre sitch.
Ooh! I didn’t hear that part! I really like Boucher. I’m not sure why, although there are plenty of good reasons.
They said during the last game that his kids don’t know what the scar is from and he doesn’t want to scare them by telling them. Can you imagine?
It must be something about his name, Patty. :P

Aw, look at ol’ “Game Over” there in front of the net, doin’ his mad defensive skillz thing.

I’m sure Mike Green has the mental fortitude to shake that off! Oh, wait. He just punched Stamkos in the nose. :P

I’m hoping for a Nashville v Tampa Bay SCF. An all Southern final would be absolutely hilarious. And these two teams are my least hated left. Haven’t had much interest in watching lately since I loathe most of the teams that are left playing. Yuckiest playoffs in recent memory.
Also, today is my first official day of unemployment. I have about a month now to get ready for our big move to KC.
Do expect lots of spamming by me when I feel the need for some sort of human contact.
You have been warned.
I just turned on the Worlds on Blersus and there was Zach Parise as a commentator not a player!?! What the? I have been out of the loop. I had heard nothing about this.
An all Southern final would be absolutely hilarious.
Especially if Memphis makes it into the NBA Finals as well. The amount of swooning from leagues & broadcast partners would be out of control.
I know, Amy. It would be fabulous.
Aww man, I leave for a measly 4 months and all the Sharks love evaporates around here?!
Totally kidding.
Hey everyone! Long time no see! How about these playoffs? Caps and Preds out of the second round, Vancouver beating Chicago, cats and dogs living together! The Sabres Flyers series was the worst thing I have ever witnessed, but I’m positively giddy watching the Red Wings flail hopelessly about.
How’s everyone around these parts? Did I miss anything?
Myra, good luck on the getting everything ready for the big move!
andrew, so good to see you again! How’s the little one? And how’s paternity leave treating you?
andrew, so good to see you again! How’s the little one? And how’s paternity leave treating you?
You too! Dylan is good! He’s a little tyrant! He’s crawling around getting into everything….he’ll be walking soon. Probably within the next month or so. Cute as a button, if i do say so myself.
Leave was awesome for the first two months. Then my back flared up and went haywire on me. Today was supposed to be my first day back at work, but I’ll be off for another two months on disability leave. I have surgery scheduled for the 27th. So that’s been kinda lame, but hey, at least I’m not at work!
Myra, you guys are making the jump to KC?! Did Dave line up a job?! Sounds pretty exciting. I hope everything’s good for you guys.

Thanks Meg! We’re hoping for the best too. Back surgery is no bueno, but I don’t have a ton of other options. Anyhoo, I’m not too worried about it, just looking forward to being pain free!
Hey andrew! Sorry about the back surgery. Back pain is a beast, so the surgery should be well worth it to get that taken care of.
And yep, Dave got a job in KC, MO. He started right after Thanksgiving. The Kid and I are moving out there in June. That is if we ever get closed on the new house. They have pushed out our closing date three times now. (HUD, you know how it is with government red tape.) I’m home for the summer, will start looking for a job next fall. So I’m looking forward to some great gardening talk this summer!
Oh and how about a new pic of Dylan??? Auntie M needs to see that baby.
Eek, back surgery?! That sucks! Good luck! And wait, Dylan’s almost walking?! Yowza! Time flies, doesn’t it?
I’d comment more but I’m going to be busy making plush penguin travelogues of my house and surrounding environs for a while after seeing this. And go Bruins tonight! (Yes I’m probably in the minority on that here). Loving the Lightning though!
Well, congrats to Dave! glad you guys are going to be reunited soon! I bet it’s been tough to be away for the last few months. And serisouly, good luck on the house. Not easy to sell them things anymore.
Picture on the way!
And wait, Dylan’s almost walking?! Yowza! Time flies, doesn’t it?
Yes! It does! He’s got 2 teeth, almost walking, watches (a little) hockey, and already has a couple of favorite songs. It’s not just flying by…I can’t even keep up with time.
Eeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! Boxworthy is so

That’s crazy stuff right there.
Apparently Zach has never seen any Star Wars movies. Boxworthy’s not allowed any more vacations until he’s rectified this.
I can’t help but laugh every time I see Zach all suited up and doing the intermission for the Worlds. Who’s dressing him if his (absolutely adorable, gingham) turtle of affairs is trekking through the Jersey wilderness?
Also, I never realized how giddy I’d be watching Gaustad and Komisarek on the ice together IN THE SAME UNIFORM. :) Oh the playoffs are still on? Hmph. Her?
I don’t understand why they would start a playoff game so early like they did today. It’s just weird.
I think they did it so that they can get as much of the late game, which starts at 9pm, on national TV, as possible.
Ah, that makes sense.
andrew!! I’m sorry to hear you have to have surgery, but I’m so glad to “see” you!
I can’t wait to see new pictures of little Dylan.
If I was a ticketholder for the home team playing at 6:30, I’d be MAJORLY pissed. Hmph.

Yeah, it’s because I’ve decided to take a break from studying and am watching. I’m an Ovechkin-inspiring curse, clearly.

Also, did you know that Kraft Mac&Cheese is sponsoring the Nash/Nucks game? Who else would have that many yellow-orange shirts. My eyes hurt. But it is impressive, in a grotesque powdered cheese sort of way.

The way Aunt Sandy has been lately, I half expect an explanation on why chocolate syrup & cartoned milk is the preferred way to make chocolate milk. You just know there would be some absurdity in there about needing to go find a brown cow and milk it. And who has time to search out a brown cow?
Lucic will always be a Bruin because they’ll always buy him fresh kittens.

Hee. I can’t wait for the Caps to get swept out of the second round tonight.

Me too. Personally, I’m loving Ovechkin’s guarantees before every game. He keeps telling the media that the Caps “Will Win”. Seriously, calm down Messier. The whole thing loses it’s lustre if you just keep guaranteeing wins over and over again. Tool.
I’m looking forward to seeing the Wings go down in flames, again. It’s deeelicious.
I’m out of practice. I forgot how tags work.
I’m enjoying this round a lot more than I thought I would and a whole lot more than last round.
And I’ve probably just jinxed them all. Hmm.
Hey. I didn’t even use tags. What is up?
The MattyLightning Bolts for the win!
I’d like to submit my nomination for Buffalo, NY as Hockeytown. I went to an Irish pub last night and they were playing the Lightening game instead of the Celtics. I would like to point out that my main purpose in choosing this place was to avoid hockey and see the Celtics. (I also wanted to cross them off my list of places I’ve seen on the Food Network. But still.)

I know, but it made last year’s series against the Habs that much sweeter when the Caps lost! He’s like the d-bag in every Adam Sandler movie.
Huh. Is there a tag for not italics?
andrew, I’m blaming you for this.
The italics WERE andrew’s fault! Mwahahahahaha! But he gets a pass on it, because hey, life in “hating the Caps” land is SOOOO sweet these days. Heh.
