I Do Actually Have Stuff To Write About.

First, even though I think many of you already know this, at least two of you dear readers do not so here it goes: the countdown for my parents last Sunday in CT has officially begun. Yes, my father has a new job in Ellsworth, ME starting later on this month. Before you ask, no, they'll be only an hour closer to me. My mother is still looking for work but I think something will turn up. This of course means that my two CT readers will not likely see me in person any time soon unless you come to me which you're welcome to do so.

The Boston sports world has been interesting as of late. The Sox picking up Eric Gagne is a cool move and I think trading Dave Murphy was probably a good move as the major league squad has Coco and his phenom Jacoby Ellsbury in the wings so we can part with a center fielder. I am not happy about them giving Kason Gabbard. I don't think Schilling will be as good as the management apparently thinks he is. We'll have to see of course but I'm already gritting my teeth.

On the basketball front, the Celtics picking up Kevin Garnett to have a "Big Three" if you will was also an interesting move. Given the lackluster quality of the division they're in, they should do well. As my father said the other day, I may want to watch a game for more than a minute without getting totally disgusted. I can't tell you how long it's been since I actually cared about this sport. Hell, the best thing about the b-ball Hall of Fame is Max's Tavern...

Today at work, in addition to the inventory and assigning call numbers, I also learned how to pack in-state Inter-library Loan (ILL) packages. I stayed about 4 hours today which is the most I've stayed yet.

BOO! Well, it's not totally outside the realm of possibility that we'd come to YOU with board games--Sars and I have been wanting to go to Acadia for a while now...I don't know if that anywhere near you though...

Are your parents having a tag sale??? bc I'm about to move at the end of this month and I need STUFF!

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
