Noted the couple of ads showing the new Honda Ridgeline. Not quite as bold a move as I first thought, when I likened it to Nissan coming out with the fairly impressive Titan. In this case, while Honda is entering a new market it isn’t the full-size pickup market. On their own comparison page they’re […]

We live maybe five or ten minutes from Giant, and pass it on our way to just about anywhere, so we often make quick stops on the way home for whatever we need at the moment. A jug of milk, a block of cheese, a case of Mountain Dew…you know, the essentials. This usually keeps […]

Okay, so I’m still still here. Honest. Life’s just been a little crazy lately. Back in November we started an office move at work, which involved moving out of the old office to make way for new tenants several weeks before the new space was ready. So for most of November and December I was […]

As a few of you may know, Andi’s going on a mission trip in a few weeks to Croatia. And as such endeavors usually require, a few weeks ago she sent out support letters to fifty or sixty friends and family, who have generously responded and completely covered her trip. Praise God! So the other […]

After 86 years, the Red Sox finally managed to go all the way. Good for them, congratulations, high-fives all around, and all that. Now quit yer’ whinin’ about that stinkin’ curse, or we’ll make you wait 86 more for your next one! I am, after all, still a Yankees fan ;).

Wow. What else can I say? Growing up in New Jersey, I’ve long been a Yankees fan. Not the rabid honorary-Bronx-resident sort, but I occasionally check on them through the season, making sure they’re first in the division where they should be ;). When the postseason rolls around I start to pay a little more […]
