Poor Screech

I've been thinking about houses a lot lately. My father-in-law is moving and everywhere I look I see people losing their homes. These are tough times. I've been reading about people with adjustable rate mortgages in real trouble.&nb

I love Dunkin' Donuts coffee. For the past twelve years I have gone there every working day and ordered exactly the same thing, an extra-large decaf with cream. Two out of seven times I get the wrong order. Last week I went th
Exciting News

OK, it's not that exciting. It's just that I finally got off my lazy butt and got my own domain name. You'd be amazed at how many people can't seem to find my blog. It seems that the - in blog-city overwhelmed them.To fix the proble
There's a moon in the sky called The Moon
Sunday, 12 February 2006 10:59 P GMT-05

I missed the Lucy Kaplansky concert,I had to work until the wee hours and couldn't get there. Management is tweaking my route and it's going to be a little while before the bugs are ironed out of it. If Tom is reading this; I'm sorry budd

Finally had some time for the family, so we went out to the movies. I love Vampire/Werewolf/Zombie movies and Underworld Evolution (the sequel to Underworld) had two out of three. This movie was far more violent than the first one and it also had so

Happy Thanksgiving

I'm exhausted. Winter hit hard in Sheffield Lake and I had to work twelve hours in it. The wind came off the lake and talked to me. By evening the snow was coming down so hard that it was hard to see and the roads were treacherous. All in all
