Rest in peace Fatty

We lost our oldest and most beloved fish, Fatty, this morning.  We’re not sure yet of the cause of death, but he went downhill in a quick 24 hours.  We will surely miss him. He would do tricks at mealtimes, summersaults and rolls, just like many other types of pets. ...

Ooh, it’s that time of year again

It’s beautiful sleeping weather where we awake to a cool, crisp morning.  Such morning are completely deserving of hot cereals.  Both Sunday and Monday I breakfasted on the perfect bowl of oatmeal (with cinnamon, raisins, cranberries, pecans, honey, and a splash of cream).  Today I had cream of wheat drizzled...

Happy frickin’ Friday

It’s finally here.  Thank goodness.  This has been a trying week (at least inside my head). The weather outside is beautiful.  I am free from figuring out what to cook tonight (which is good because I hadn’t planned enough meals for the week anyway) as my mother-in-law has invited us...

Slacker

I haven’t posted lately and there’s no real reason for that.  I’ve just not been inspired lately.  There are some wonderful things to talk about like the fact that Shaun and Sue are expecting another little girl, that fall is just around the corner and that’s my favorite time of...

We’re home, again

We made it in one piece, or two, depends on how you look at it.  Yes, we did check out of that wonderful room at the MGM Grand this morning, although we did not want to.  In fact, near the end of our trip home Chris said that he had...

We’re home

Yes, it’s 9:28p.m., and yes, the zoo did close at 5:00 and that is when we left NY.  I’ll post all about our day tomorrow.  Right now I’ve got to go sleep off my dinner of darvocet and warm Dr. Pepper (mmm, tasty and nutritious). Right now I have nothing...

Getting ready

We’re getting ready to leave for the Bronx Zoo in a little while.  Our original plan was to go yesterday, but thunderstorms in the Bronx forecast kept us in MA.  It’s supposed to be a beautiful day in the city today though.  I’ve got the snacks all lined up on...

Happy birthday

To our friend Ed. He’s traversing through Maine this weekend on a pub crawl, hopefully enjoying himself tremendously.  Who knows, maybe he’s bending over right now taking a spanking from each of the peeps in celebration 😉

Aah vacation

It feels so good to know that for the next 10 days I don’t have to fire up the old laptop, or set the alarm for the gym, plan meals, or get dressed for the office.  No conference calls to host, meeting minutes to write, nada. I actually woke up...
