Here are the movies for November:

Saturday was another testy fall day. Though we didn’t get the snowstorm that gripped the northeast, we had a few flakes in the morning. The ladies started out at Covington spa for hair and makeup. The wedding ceremony was held at Saint Peter’…

After another night of dance practice, the Queen and I hit the town for a few hours to unwind on a Friday night… The real question is – where did we go? Hint: we’re downtown…and the name of the place is a state in New England. Just a really nice spot with an “adult” crowd [...]

I love Halloween. I love the decorations. I love dressing up. I love handing out candy. I have a lot of really great Halloween memories. But every Halloween is just a little sad for me too, because it’s the day we lost an amazing woman, in 1991. (Great Gram and me, Easter 1989.) I miss you, Gram [...]

Safety Troy Polamalu’s slapping of the ball into the end zone at the end of the Steelers’ victory over New England was against an NFL rule. The rule states that a player may not bat or punch a loose ball in the field of play toward the opponent’s goal line; a loose ball that has [...]

My Mac Pro is getting older. It’s a 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Xeon with 13 GB of RAM. I’ve got four 1 TB SATA disks inside. It’s hooked up to an older 23″ Cinema Display and is on its second video card. The top SuperDrive (I have two) sticks sometimes when you eject the [...]

It happens. Despite the fact that Halloween always falls on Oct. 31, sometimes it seems to sneak up on us like a ghost. I admit there have been years that I’ve stopped on the way home from work to buy Halloween candy, managing to barely beat the trick-or-treaters to my own front door. For those [...]

It’s been rainy and yucky outside for what seems like months. That means the creeks are coming up, and it’s time for Matt to get out in some whitewater. We awoke Saturday morning to a wet, heavy, white covering on the ground and the cars. Snow. And it wasn’t ready to stop. We ate a [...]

Yesterday was one of those days that the kitchen sink was so full of dishes from my projects that I had to wash my hands in the bathroom. Tuna Noodle Casserole from “Joy of Cooking” was dinner. More on that tomorrow. But Halloween night calls for sweet treats. I make gingersnaps for my dad at [...]
