There was no shortage of media coverage about Hurricane Irene, and while I was of the mindset that the storm wasn’t going to be as bad as had been predicted (certain newscasters were more or less implying that the winds and rain would be accompanied by four horsemen), the Noah’s took all of the necessary [...]

This past weekend, ACE went to Atlanta!
(Sadly, we were not the full ACES, as Sherlock got the consolation prize of a fun-filled weekend at the local pet hotel. Yes, I know that’s a pretty lame euphemism, but I’m sticking with it, OK?)
We’ve all been missing Aunt Georgia since she moved down south in March, and [...]

Of course Bert and Ernie shouldn’t get married; is that the kind of message we want to send to our kids? That its OK for married people (or Muppets) to sleep in separate beds?
If 80’s music is so great (and we all know that it is), why aren’t they making any more of it? [...]

The list of Honey Do’s had been growing, and growing, then it started shrinking slowly, then it got a little bit bigger, but I am pleased to report that it is now COMPLETE.
When you have a house, there’s always stuff that needs to be done. And lately, I’ve had my hands full with a bunch [...]

Hey, remember that time when I wrote about my favorite Dylan cover songs? Well this post is sorta like that, except now I’m picking covers of songs by The Beatles. Why? Why not!

Downtown Huntington is a beautiful place (I may have something of a bias, I admit.). But there has been one considerable eyesore there lately – an old closed down theatre. It’s recently been under constriction, set to open up as The Paramount Theatre, a new concert hall.
A brand new concert venue, so close to us [...]
