Home Improvements

Last December Levi announced that it was high time to remove the ghetto wall mirror and get rid of the "Golden Girls" decor. This is something we've been trying to do for months, but it was constantly put off due to the pleasure of enjoying good ol' fashion lazy time.

The project has started. The mirror is gone, the walls are painted, and now we have started on the flooring. For the last week we have been installing our new cherry wood style laminate in our living room, dining room and hall. The first disgusting task was to remove the stained carpet and smelly padding. To our dismay and delight, the entire condo has a cement floor. It's good in case of leaks and noises, and bad because the cement isn't exactly flat. We have worked through these hiccups and by the end of the week we hope to be joining Atticus in some sliding across the new floor adventures.

Star Wars III

For all that want to see some pictures from the new movie (as well as a few flash clips), check this out.

Patrick McManus

One of my favorite humorists is Patrick McManus. You can find his work in"Ourdoor Life" and in older editions of "Field & Stream". He also has around 13 books published. I'm paticularly fond of his book "Rubber Legs and White Tail-Hairs".

If you interested in fishing, hunting, and funny stories associated with such, you must read his work. I found this online story to tickle your funnybone.

Hungry?

When Levi and I were first married, we stayed in two B&Bs over several days. I found the food to be delicious and a little different. Since then, I have tried to imitate a little of what we tasted. I have had some luck creating some delicious breakfast alternatives thanks to those inspiring meals at the B&Bs.

There is a cool web site that offers recipes supplied by different B&Bs throughout the nation. It's easy to navigate and offers some incredibly fun meal ideas. One that I am really excited to try out is The Breakfast Pizza. The recipe was presented by The Jefferson Inn of Ellicottville. Another one I'm excited to try is The Asparagus Egg Puff presented by Northwood Inn Bed & Breakfast in NJ.

Movie news at last

"The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" upcoming movie has a new web site. You can explore Narnia and get some of the history, in case you forgot much of it from the books. There is even a quiz with a question from each book to test your knowledge. I got 4 our of 7 right.

Charlie and Chocolate Factory has recently put out a teaser. Johnny Depp's hair and teeth really creap me out in this teaser.

Who are the PIGs?

Here is an interesting article about PIGs in the school system.

I just finished reading "Deception Point" by Dan Brown. He also wrote "DaVinci Code", "Angels & Demons", and "Digital Fortress". The book is full of adventures, near escapes, problem solving, unknown bad guy and the usual thrills Dan Brown always excites us with. I also finished "Digital Fortress" about a month ago, and highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys such adventures.

I have recently become a self proclaimed "expert" on how to cure Jelly Fish stings. Anyone burdened with such a sting that would like some questionable advice, please let me know.

Time To Vote

It's finally time to vote. As of tomorrow we can say goodbye to all the ads in the mail, on TV, the phone calls, the flyers left at your doors and the constant talk of it all. But that's not until tomorrow. Today we are still stuck with all the annoying ads. If you would care for some funny political distractions, check this out.
