Been gone a while now…

It’s been over seven months since I last wrote, longer since I wrote anything consistently, and even longer since I wrote anything worth reading. The first few months off were intentional, as I felt like I was getting stale, and losing whatever little originality I once had. Since around November, my absence has been a [...]

What a whuppin.
Good lord, what a whuppin.
Finally, the Celtics played a complete game, with the fully intense defense, and an offense firing on all cylinders. The big three all showed up last night, as did Rondo and Perk, as did everyone else the Celtics threw in there.

A little camp time, a little cold water, a LOT of bugs

Finally got up to Seboeis to open up camp this weekend. Water went in easy enough, other then the walls and walls of mosquitos I had to walk through to get anything done. Seriously, I’ve been going to this camp for almost 30 years, and I can’t recall there ever being more bugs. (Of course, [...]

A melancholy day for the little’s

It’s a sad day for newspaper fans, and a sadder day for fans of Tony Kornheiser’s writing.
Yesterday, Tony Kornheiser accepted a buyout from the Washington Post. It had been a little while since he wrote, really, but personally, I always held hope that he would come back to the paper, and back to his Style [...]

Gradumatation

Signs of student departure are all over campus today, garbage strewn in the street, broken bottles from last nights parties, scattered empty parking spots. Still, there’s one more step before Orono truly quiets down:
This Saturday is UMaine’s graduation day.

How do we love Liz?

Let me count the ways..
So, apparently I neglected to email certain people about the address of this (not-so) new blog. And apparently, an apology is in order. So, I decided to use the collective we, and beg for forgiveness.
We love that liz should actually be called Bob. (We also love that unlike some people, we [...]

An Ode to Firefly

I’m a little sad today, for reasons that are entirely pathetic. I’ve been watching, via hulu, Firefly. It’s a great show, an operatic mix of western/sci-fi, crossed with Homer’s Odyssey. The sadness comes from the fact that I’m watching a show that I know has been canceled, and there is only one more episode left. [...]

Oh, How I hate the Dentist

I am not in a good mood right now.
I have a splitting headache, I couldn’t sleep last night (obviously), and I’ve spent the last two days in the Dentist’s office, but they haven’t yet actually gotten to the problem which is helping to cause my splitting headache and which is certainly not helping my lack [...]

When the wife’s away…

I will..
Well..
Hmm.
Yeah I have the weekend to myself, and not one tangible plan. I’m going to have to think of something though, because the dog is simply not that much fun. I’ll probably try to work on the house, watch some movies the wife hates, that sort of thing. God. Am I so co-dependant that [...]

A quick weekend..

Blink
And the weekend’s over. People at work asked me what I did this weekend, and I just sort of looked at them blankly. Honestly, I shoveled. I snow shoed. We hit up the Marden’s for a little reminder of why we don’t have any babies. And…
That’s it.
The boob tube got a little time from me [...]
