It was last July that with serendipitous luck that Patty and I wandered in to have lunch at the Cross Roads Mall in Bellevue, WA as Draco and the Malfoys and Harry and the Potters were warming up for a crazy afternoon show of songs about Harry Potter and stuff. It was a nerdy, […]
THE CONSENSUS ON the latest Art Brut album is that it is good, but not as good as their first album. ‘And how could it be?’ is the general sentiment. I thought It’s a Bit Complicated should be worth a listen anyways.
The album starts out strong with its two best songs […]
HARRY POTTER MANIA is starting to simmer with the release of the fifth movie in the Harry Potter series this week and building towards the release of the final book of the literary sensation next Saturday. As a confirmed Potter fan (albeit a little late to the party, as I saw the first movie […]
Last weekend, I ran a 5K in my home town of Ludlow, Vermont, called the Race for Grace 5K. I wrote up more details on the race day over at my new blog experiment, the Vermont Local.

Patty and I have enjoyed ourselves thoroughly hanging out in the Seattle area. It is weird to be visiting some place so familiar, yet not familiar. I have a few more posts to get up about places we hit while out here, but tonight we head back to the East Coast.
We will stumble […]
