Editing Comments

Well, I've been getting some unwanted attention lately. It seems that ad companies trying to lure unsuspecting people have finally found blogs to spam. The first time I thought was a fluke, but the second time made me realize that I had to do something.

I still welcome your comments, but I'm now requiring an additional verification when you leave your comments, just to make sure you're not a spammer. Sorry about the inconvenience!

A Philosophy to Live Life By

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

New Laws of Physics

Did you hear that they have redefined the Laws of Physics? Here's a sample:

Cartoon Law 1

Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation.

Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per second per second takes over.

Mystic and Merry

I'm off to Providence this weekend to help out at Barry's concert with the Providence Gay Men's Chorus. It's their semi-annual show, and only their second holiday concert. It's "Mystic and Merry" and should be a good program. Visit the PGMC Website to learn more!

This picture is from the Wednesday night concert, and yes - they are wearing tuxes for this concert. Nice and formal!

Politics

Well... I was surprised by THIS result!

Disney World!!!

Piglet gives Barry a hug.

Well, our trip to Disney World for 2005 has come and gone. I'm still not over my PDD (post-Disney depression), but I do have some pictures to remind me of our good time.

We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, which was very nice. Beautiful theming throughout, and a great pool. Mom and Dad came down to join us for the first two days, and had a room right across the hall from us. We went to Epcot the first day, then the Magic Kingdom the second, where I insisted on a character breakfast to start off the day. You can see the results from the picture above.

Tag Sale!

Missy and Barry Keeping Cool

Well, we've had our very first tag sale. Our neighbors, Rick and Judy, decided to "cull the herd" of their overstocked house, and graciously invited the neighborhood to join in. So, we put some stuff that we knew we wanted to sell and added it to the impressive collection of items for sale. In addition to Rick & Judy, Todd and Missy also joined us with a bunch of stuff for sale, too. It was hot, but not as bad as last week, and we were able to keep cool (the wine coolers broke out by 10:00 am - hey - it was noon somewhere in the world).

We were joined by Rick & Judy's daughter Amber, along with her daughter Alexandra, by mid afternoon, and finally ajourned to their backyard about 4:00 to enjoy a cookout. Eventually, we were joined by Amber's husband Greg, then our neighbor Jean before we headed home for a nap. An excellent day!

Check out the pictures!

New Driveway

New Driveway

Well, the picture is finally here. I've been procrastinating about getting it on the site, but no more! We had it done in May, and have loved every inch of it. There's nothing like heading up a smooth, level stretch of asphault over a bumpy, dusty gravel driveway. And it eliminates the whole raking the gravel out of the lawn syndrome in the spring - I NEVER want to do that again!!!
