So, maybe I’ll appreciate this during the summer. This weekend I went up to Maine as I do occasionally with my wife. It was already a weekend that wasn’t going to be all that fun. We were picking up furniture in Connecticut and bringing it north. But it got worse when we finally arrived in [...]

Having tried to pull my wife’s attention from her Twitter account and failed, I am forced to amuse myself with a Top 10 signs you are a Twitter addict list.

9. You’re starting to think “TinyURL” is a cute baby name.
8. [...]

Today’s wow of the day.
This week, NECN did an investigative story on a Cape Cod businessman who runs the site “I Sold Grandma’s Stuff.com”. Bottom line, a lot of people seem to think Joe Perkins, the owner of the company, has preyed on them, helping them sell their estates and then keeping the cash. As [...]

This really isn’t a post that anyone else is going to care about. I am simply trying to use Qumana and see if I like it any more than going directly to Word Press. If anyone has any other better faster happier ideas, I’m all ears.

and doggone it, I’m better than my NCAA pool.
Not that I am doing that badly. I had San Diego over UConn, after all. But it’s happening again. That March Madness feeling that requires me to glance over at the TV all too regularly to see if Siena actually won. (Didn’t call that one.)
So I must [...]

So, a lot of people have sort of a love-hate relationship with Curt Schilling… usually leaning towards the love part. But no matter what you think of him in general, you have to give him credit for his efforts fighting ALS. Curt’s Pitch 4 ALS has raised a of awareness about the disease, and a [...]
