heat day
Today is Heat Day! We try to shrink the heating season by as much as possible every year, so we usually curl up for a few weeks in the brisk lower 50s° before finally clicking on the furnace in November. I had on a sweater and a sweatshirt the other night. Hands be damned. Can’t […]

the very first time
The snow flew yesterday morning and started accumulating after dark. In related news, I bought a car cover a month or two ago. So traumatized was I by the amount of pine sap and needles that were accumulating daily that I was on the verge of having the trees cut down. Seriously, I made calls. […]

Tomorrow is the real judgement day, everyone. Not like before. It’s gonna be awesome.

weightless
I saw this video over on Gizmodo last night. They have apparently created the most relaxing song in the world, more capable even than massage therapy at reducing stress. I put on the headphones last night and got in to bed to listen to the entire piece and I’m not entirely convinced. It was nice, […]

road resignation
We were down in the Boston area over the weekend and all I could do was sit in quiet resignation and indignation as it took us two hours to get from the Sommerville exit to the Weymouth exit between 3:30pm and 5:30pm on Friday. We left New Hampshire early to make a timed stop on […]

My webhost, InMotion, was hacked early this morning. The hacker was able to replace the index.htm files in nearly all of my directories (and it seems a lot of the other folks using my host) with their own index.php. I’d hesitate to suggest there’s anything fortunate about this, but at least they seem to have […]

pasta casa fatta
Amy and I made our first batch of truly home made pasta this afternoon. What better way to dry it out than on a clothes dryer?

glacier and yellowstone
We just returned from a trip out to Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. I infamously took Amy up one of the tallest peaks in the White Mountains for an overnight camp with some friends, very early in our relationship, and ever since we’ve enjoyed getting out into the woods together. Our trip to […]

irene, not irie
Given the comments here, I thought I’d throw up a few local images I took of the aftermath. We live about 600′ above the Connecticut river and between here and there we have several little streams that feed down the hill and cross a few roads. Two of those crossings were washed out on Sunday. […]

sutton 2011
Amy and I are going away together at the end of the coming week to parts unknown, so we were unable to dedicate a full week to the Sutton experience, but my flexible work schedule allowed me to join in the fun for a couple of days. With Irene bearing down on us, many of […]
