Barty Crouch Junior is Doctor Who

I just realized that David Tennant, the actor who plays Barty Crouch Junior in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is also the actor who plays on Doctor Who in the new series for BBC. Yeah, I’m a little slow on the uptake some days.

Walk the Line

It’s been a Johnny Cash week leading up to my viewing of Walk the Line today. I bought a paperback copy of Cash for the plan ride back to the East Coast. I filled up my cell phone with all the Cash songs I have. I also put several Cash cds on my […]

Feeling the Christmas Spirit

We put the fake Christmas tree up tonight (it’s fake as I got tired of cleaning up pine needles as I moved out of appartments in January in Seattle). I think this is a record for me, as it usually takes me a week or two to recover from Thanksgiving enough to think about […]

New Music from the Cure Next Summer

Looks like this story broke over the weekend, but Robert Smith and the boys are heading into the studio to work on their next album in January. Another Cure album to add to the addled collection in my head.

New Roof with Snow


Rain Turning to Snow, Wind and a Power Outage

It has been raining here in Ludlow most of the day, with moments of snow. It is now dark and the temperature is failing, so we should expect more snow and less rain overnight. A truck with a snow covered snow plow just went by the house. The power went out for […]

Thanksgiving Gaming

36th Annual Tinmouth Volunteer Fire Department Game Supper

My step dad (and my step brothers too) will be attending the 36th Annual Tinmouth Volunteer Fire Department Game Supper. Unfortunately, Patty and I are going to miss out on tasting the venison, the moose, the bear, and other game delicacies as I get into Albany airport too late to attend the supper. […]

Alex Rodriguez wins the MVP

In baseball news, Alex Rodriguez wins the MVP award.
The New York Times lead-in is “Rodriguez Is the Complete M.V.P.“. The Boston Globe lead-in is “A-Rod edges Ortiz for MVP“.
In a sport that keeps Pete Rose out of the Hall of Fame for defaming the game by betting on it, I can only wonder […]

Bucca di Beppo in Seattle, WA

I finally made it to Bucca di Beppo last night.  I have tried to eat there previously, but the lengthy, multiple hour waits were killers. 
We still had to wait over an hour to get in last night, but I proved just how much I suck at solitaire on my cell phone. 
Once we got […]
