Looks like we have decided to book a cruise for this coming fall. Now the fun begins of picking the cruise we want to take. Last night was a cruise planning “party” to try to narrow down the list and discuss our options. Of course, we hadn’t planned to stay up until 2:00 am doing […]

What a weird weather pattern we have been getting lately. Earlier this week, the temp was in the low 70’s – quite nice. Today, we are in the middle of a Winter Storm Warning. Earlier this morning, we received about 2 inches of snow. That snow, plus the threat of a whole bunch more, caused […]

February 14, 2008 by 1 Comment
There must be a fine line between being a die hard fan of Star Trek and a Trekkie. I do consider myself an avid fan of the show/series/movies but wouldn’t about going to a convention or other type gathering. I don’t think bad things about those folks, but its just not me. I think I […]

I mentioned in a Tweet early this week that we were getting the house appraised today in order to refinance it. Interest rates have really dropped recently and its a really good opportunity to do so. Well, Suzanne has been hard at work getting the house ready for the appraiser to come by. One of […]
