Superbowl Bacon Explosion
Several days before the Superbowl I was reading the New York Times online and came across an interesting article about something called the bacon explosion. I wasn’t too excited about either of the teams in the Superbowl this year but I still wanted an excuse to hang out with friends and have some fun so […]

It’s a whole new year
Given that it’s a clean slate and a whole new year, we should start out with a blog update and hopefully post a bit more regularly in 2009. We enjoyed our traditional vowel state road trip for the holidays, this time adding a visit to the Sheldons in Chicago to our itinerary of Toledo (Brian’s […]

Giving Thanks – Adapt and Improvise
We are thankful for good friends, with whom to share a holiday meal. Dan did an awesome job on the turkey and hosting, and let us join his family for the day. Uncle John brought pate’, Aunt Ellen brought hummus and raw veggies and cranberried items, Mom Dunn brought green beans, squash and pies, Jeremy […]

Catching Up
So other than dinner, what is new anyway? Since our last post, here’s what we’ve been up to. Brian canned 7 quarts of fresh peaches, his first foray into home canning, with delicious results. FTSD’s awesome social chairs planned a kayaking trip to Hopkinton on August 22. The weather was gorgeous and it was hard […]

What a week
It’s been quite the week with all of the contractor fun going on at the house (see our last two posts) plus trying to get ready for a vacation to see our families. During all this chaos, I got a chance to see my best friend from high school, Hans, who was in town for […]

Happy Birthday to Su!
I think 33 feels more than 1 year older than 32. I needed a longer birthday celebration to offset it. Wednesday: Steak dinner by Chef Beej. By far the best ribeye in town. Perfectly medium rare. Served with herbed mashed potatoes, sautee’ed spinach and red wine. yummm. Thursday: Pedicure and Hair cut at the spa. […]

The Advent of Good Things?
I knew this week that things would have to change a bit. No way could I look at December’s schedule, reflect on the last week, and think that this trend could continue for the rest of the year (which, mind you, is one month). I had some significant signs of anxiety. Everywhere I turned, the […]

How many have you read?
Idea borrowed from my friend Abigail who borrowed it from her friend jydog1. These are the top 106 books most often marked as “unread†by LibraryThing’s users. Bold what you have read, italicize what you started but couldn’t (or haven’t) finish, and strike through what you couldn’t stand. By the way, Ab, your score is […]

A whole new level of feeling appreciated
I am, fortunately, involved in groups that frequently thank their volunteers. Hardly a church council meeting goes by without thanks being expressed for people’s time and insights. The AILG board, on which I’ve been serving for at least 6 years, just received an award from MIT. As Abigail noted, they held a nice dinner with […]

Milestones
First: The Sox won the AL East today. Almost as good as if they’d done it yesterday (when Dan and I were at the game, and the date I had predicted back in March that they’d clinch. Pretty close though.). Probably even cooler, since Sox fans who witnessed tonight’s win stuck around to watch the […]
