Leaves of Five

I was very productive yesterday — I put down more mulch, did some laundry, worked on the pool chemicals and did a lot of mowing.  Being slightly ambitious, I decided to tackle the Back 40.  I soon discovered that I just don’t have the upper body strength to keep the mower from wanting to flip [...]

NYC 2008

Well, we’re back — and we had a great time!  Of the original wish list, we were able to do the following:

“National Train Day” events at Penn Station when we arrive (exhibits, simulators, etc)

I spent most of the month of January down with both Flu and Bronchitis. Unfortunately, I was still sick (and on my [...]

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
