Cape Grape

Yeah, we still have a few things to move out of the old house, but we booked this four day stay at a B&B on the Cape three months ago, before we ever started looking at houses here.  We’ve stayed there before, and the owners of the place are the sweetest people. In general, I […]

So I said, what the hey, let me check out her free PDF of the book on her website. After the character Fords Deep Water is repeated GOD KNOWS […]

Toothless Bob Redux

Toothless Bob was out this afternoon, mowing his lawn.  He has a real tractor, while we make do with a riding mower, and a push one for backup.  He saw me outside, and we gave mutual “hi” waves at each other.  Bob is the best neighbor I could ever hope to have.  Thankfully, he’s a […]

Larry’s at it again on SL, with a list of predictions for the future. The Top Ten Predictions for the future, most pertaining to the year 2030 (which will by kid’s generation). Surprising, yet not… Still, pay close attention to number FOUR! http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/Features/Lists/?article=FuturePredictions&GT1=27004 Lawrence “Which will by kid’s generation.”  Huh?  And, what is number four?  […]

I arrived here in the land of south paw-paw, unloaded the rather massive and heavy furniture we loaded into the truck earlier this evening, got it all in place, took a well deserved break for a beer, then checked my computer. Lo and behold — the Nickster put up another nonsensical rant about things that […]

OT: Pie and Soup Food Pr0n

The apple pie was made the day before Easter, and reheated at 275F for approximately the last half hour the spiral-cut ham was in the oven.  We loaded everything into a cooler with a bunch of dish towels, and drove it over to my parents’ house.  They were going to just have ham sandwiches without […]
