Tomorrow, August 27th, 2010 will be my last day at my job.
I still remember the excitement, and tremendous sadness that Nov 28th 1998 brought. That was the day I found out I had been hired at a job I really wanted. It was also the day that my Great Aunt Mary passed. This saying will [...]
Went on a little jaunt to Maine to visit family. You know how I love animals and try to do them no harm? I harmed some lobsters. Then I harmed a few more. Then, a few more. Lastly, I brought a few to others to harm. I’m a sadist I guess. But look at this:

I changed cameras again.
You know how it goes with us gearheads. Oooh, Shiny. Next thing you know the plastic is being swiped, you head out from the store and run , hunched over – hiding your precious, to your favorite secret spot where you unwrap and assemble. Then charge batteries, while hiding the receipt, box [...]
So it’s not like we didn’t have enough to do this past weekend, with the town’s spirit day, us volunteering to help out and all. We decided to take the walk we’ve been meaning to take for since it opened in October 09. It’s a beautiful walk, just as we had heard. Check out these [...]

Installing the new treads and risers on the old, but freshly painted stringers and skirtboards. We removed the old walls down to the [...]
A brief summary of the past two weeks or so.
The little one, making deviled eggs. They were happily made, boiled and peeled, and blended, but when it came time to eat them – the usual ‘I don’t like them’ applied.
The big one – recovering from a bout with pneumonia. A-ha! There’s my missing Kindle !!
Because [...]
As promised - a quick pic of Thing1 just after the unceremonious dumping in the hallway last weekend. Thing2 (Wife’s), is still in the black ‘transport’ bag. Note the armchair in the background – that chair is part of the reason we decided to take this class. Check back in 2018 when we start that [...]
As a Xmas present to Wife, I signed us up for an upholstery class at The Furniture Joint. Classes ran every Tuesday night for 4 weeks, from 6-8:30 pm.
You folks who know me personally know I usually learn by doing myself, not taking a class. I knew Wife would enjoy this, and I thought it [...]
