This weekend was cold, rainy, gross. Friday night I went to dinner with my mom and her boyfriend and headed to bed pretty early. Saturday I did a home overhaul – major cleaning. I gutted the closet and dresser and attic, bagging up clothes for donation, to sell (will let you know when the selling… Continue Reading Wet Weekend… Jeans Take Center Stage

I forgot about it, came down the stairs, entered the living room and… Continue Reading This Weekend Mar 31, 2008

Sunday,… Continue Reading This Weekend and Monday Feb 25 2008

Had a wait for our table, so we went next door to the cigar shop; the boys got some cigars to puff (it was nice enough to be outside) and the wife and I chatted about the upcoming wedding of her sister-in-law (you… Continue Reading The Weekend Feb 18, 2008
