Yep. And since we are city folk gone country, we did not purchase our pick-up truck snow plow combo yet, and we need to hire someone to plow our drive-way. For whatever reason we cannot seem to get people to return our calls. We think it is because we have not “established” ourselves yet in… Continue reading Two Inches of Snow
The Mysterious Mind of A Four Year Old
Posco(8) and Fastolph (4) were in the backyard raking leaves. In the backyard we have a pond and on occasion what looks like herons (I am not an orinthologist, so I am not sure exactly) come to do whatever it is that they do at the pond. I have no idea what it is, but… Continue reading The Mysterious Mind of A Four Year Old

When the first tiger escaped, it was thought it… Continue reading Workers Start Rounding Up Tigers in New Jersey

Finally Got Out to See Matrix:Revolutions Last Night
I am not sure what I thought of it. It was not like Return of the Jedi in the sense that it had it’s own story, but it was nothing more than a “Part Two” conclusion to Matrix Reloaded. It had lots of neat sci fi special effects, but not enough martial arts in neat… Continue reading Finally Got Out to See Matrix:Revolutions Last Night
