This is a catching up post, as the pictures contained herein were taken a week ago (or more, in some cases).  After the Thursday snowstorm where I did the time-lapse video, we got just as much snow in another storm that Sunday (12/16).  On Monday morning I took some pictures around the house. First, … Read more

On Thursday we got a bunch of snow dumped on us – 8 to 10 inches, I believe. My workplace closed because of the weather, and so I was home all day, and I thought it would be interesting to do a time-lapse video of the snowfall. My camcorder has the capability to do such … Read more

Another quiz, again discovered on Matt’s blog (and I like his result better than mine).  My post title refers, of course, to this movie (hmm, which is actually from ’79 – oh, well).   Your Score: Ray Stantz 168 Heart, 154 Genius, 128 Cool, 156 Excitability Dr. Raymond Stantz – (Dan Aykroyd) Ghostbusters (1984) You … Read more

Our Prius hit a milestone this past Wednesday.  Not literally, thankfully (do we even have stones to mark miles anywhere in the US?), but our car now has six digits on the odometer.  It rolled 100K while I was on the way to work, and I stopped to take pics before: and after: We’ve had … Read more

So, once again this year, They Might Be Giants came to play in Northampton. They played last night at the Calvin Theater, and added something special just for this stop on the tour: a horn section! The concert was in the evening, but earlier, they did a quick acoustic performance at the Northampton Box Office. … Read more

I scored as a non-dyke, though. I find it interesting that my main result is the one man in the bunch (maybe gender is that significant!). Which Dyke to Watch Out For Are You? created with QuizFarm.com You scored as Stuart You are Stuart, partner and co-parent with bi-dyke Sparrow. You believe that values need … Read more

I didn’t pay much attention to the sticker when I bought the melon – only enough to type in the PLU# at the self-scan checkout.  After I got it home, though, I was surprised to discover a reference to The Outsiders on my honeydew: Nothing gold can stay, of course, and the melon is no … Read more

I went on a hike this past weekend with my friend David. It was the same hiking trail we went on in July, but we scheduled to do it again over Columbus Day weekend specifically to see the Fall colors from on high. It turns out that not that many trees’ leaves have turned. The … Read more

Alternate title for this post: “Another nail in the coffin of MS.” Yesterday I did the big ride, and it was quite a ride. First off, I want to thank again everyone who donated. In supporting my effort, you’ve helped fund more MS research and advocacy to the tune of $711.00. Pretty good considering that … Read more

I made it! I got back to the starting point – also the finish – a bit before 3:00. Those last 10 miles were the hardest by far, not because the road got any hillier, but because my legs were getting weak. I’m now enjoying a meal before I leave for home. All the details … Read more
