I'm writing this post in Word 2007 to test its abilities to do Blog Posts. This is a new function in Word 2007 and Blogger is one of the services it supports. Very nice.

WOW!! My wife just accomplished one of the best driving feats ever. We needed to make the 10:00 PM ferry out of Bridgeport. We hit the junction of I-91 and I-95 in New Haven, Connecticut at 9:45 PM. The distance to Bridgeport was approximately 20 Miles. She drove extremely well in time to make the ferry, even with heavy traffic and a construction delay. WOW!!!

It is truly amazing what one can accomplish with low resources.

It's been a long time since I've written old-fashioned sword and sorcery; I'm hoping it's like riding a bicycle. --Lynn AbbeySo, this is what posting is like, I had almost forgotten. I hope that it is like riding a bicycle. I also hope to do it more consistently, at least for the summer while I'm taking a break from school. I have a lot of interesting plans for the summer, including a couple of

I'm on the bus on the way home frm work. My job has been stresing me out lately. I have a to-do list that grows exponentially and finals in the next two weeks. I feel like I'm drowning. Thank God, I have good co-workers that help meout and keep me grounded.

Well I need you all to stop and check out www.davidsangels.org. As a lot of you know, I have made some very good friends from across the county and we all hang out on the OTE and we meet up a few times a year. What you may not know is that we have an Angels program in which we help out families in need. This year's project is a little boy named David who has been diagnosed with leukemia (the

Well it's been a while since I last posted so I thought I should update. We just had our last wedding this past weekend - in Fishkill, NY. It was actually a great town and a really nice part of NY. Congratulations Chris and Nancy! I'm very excited that Fall is upon us - that means that soon it will be Christmas time and I just love Christmas time. In the meantime, we'll be hanging out at Joey's

Well, we have returned from California. So many things to say - where should I start? Well Matt left last Tuesday and headed out to LA to meet up with Andrew, Josh and I believe Dave to head out to Las Vegas for the bachelor party. As I didn't want to hear them, I don't know many specifics but I know that a good time was had. Thursday morning all hell breaks loose in London and of course

I just wanted to take a quick moment to congratulate Jason and Gena on their nuptials this past weekend. Congratulations you two and I know that you will be very happy together.

Okay....First of all, I apologize because my husband hasn't posted here in aeons. Second of all, I apologize that you have to read my ramblings. Third of all - let me tell you how to fix a broken DVR. A DVR that just won't record pre-set recordings. Well you whine a bunch on Tuesday. You have Matt look at it on Wednesday. You unplug it on Wednesday and then when that doesn't work; unplug it

So I'm convinced that Massachusetts residents at the age of 17 get a box of Cracker Jack sent to them from the RMV on their bday. They open it up and the majority get a lovely prize of a driver's license. It's the only explanation for the driving abilities of Massachusetts drivers (sorry all of you Massachusetts drivers who actually had to take their road test). Every morning I drive Matt to

Well I simply can't believe how fast this summer is zooming by. It seems that it was just Memorial Day but now our July vacation on Long Island is over (very sad). But before I recap that - let's talk about the 4th of July: Matt and I both lucked out and were able to take the Monday before the 4th off and we were able to enjoy a nice long four day weekend. Saturday and Sunday we stayed in

Well, I didn't get a chance to post much more information about our trip so I'll have to do my best to complete a recap here. Thursday evening we had dinner at Morton's and it was delicious. We shared a bottle of Charles Krug "Generations" which is a Meritage (a type of wine that I had never heard of and apparently is a blend of grapes that changes at each winery) and it was absolutely

Well, Matt and I are just about completing Day 1 of our DC trip extravaganza. We left Boston last night after work and I took the driver's seat. We made great time until we hit the Jersey Turnpike. That's where we ran into a ton of traffic on the southbound side of the highway b/c of a massive accident on the northbound side. I don't really know what happened but Matt was able to identify an

Matt and I are alone again. My nephew has returned home to New York for the summer and we are left to our own devices. It appears from the weather forecast that summer will be soon upon us. I am slightly sad because I feel that we have had almost no spring - lots of rain with temperatures mainly in the high 50's - 60's but very few clear days in the 70's. Soon the high 80's and 90's will be

Sunday, was an absolutely beautiful day 62° and not a cloud in the sky. PeggyAnn and I decided to hiking and after pursing the web discovered Ravenswood Park in Gloucester, MA.

Good news - we got a new car - a 2006 silver Pathfinder - named Saucy Sally the Silver Pathfinder - "Sally" for short. Bad news - we discovered that $3500 was stolen from our checking account. Apparently someone got a hold of my credit card number that was on my debit card and charged some items while they were in Rio. We're working on getting the money back now. That's the big news in our
