The oldest bells in North America are in Boston's Old North Church. The bells were cast in 1744 and hung in 1745.

What I'm Reading - The Winter of Our Discontent

by John Steinbeck

Henry says,

Only that day dawns to which we are awake.

Just do it

The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your arm.

Shut up and say something

Amen, brother ! This is why I left high tech PR...

Lego my...

Put together a small Lego building set with Garrett after his birthday. It had a draw bridge, a trap door and 46 page booklet on how to put it together !!!

You decide.....Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles 

Is it just me, or was anyone else a little freaked out when the Director for The Incredibles came up to accept his Oscar and he looked scarily similiar to the main villian ??? 

Old Bars of New York

"We began our Forgotten NY bar tour on a bitterly cold February afternoon with temperatures in the teens and the impending Blizzard of 2003, which dropped 20" of snow, quickly to follow, with visits to McSorley's Old Ale House in the East Village and Chumley's in the West Village."

Spamalot on Broadway...a smash

"Someday, all this will be yours."

"What, the curtains?"

Python Comes to Broadway with Musical 'Spamalot'

If only

What do you think the world would be like if everyone
had to drive the speed you drive the day after a snow storm?

No injuries, no lost children, no food fights. I'd say it was a successful 6th birthday party ! 

Robots

Good movie and a great time was had by Garrett and his pals this weekend for his birthday.

Should I let it go ?

Should it bother me when parents get to cut out in front of the bus that they just put their kids on while the rest of us have to wait in the back while it makes 10 more stops?

Next picture will hopefully be of Dan.

A reason to Boycott Sports Authority

Went to buy Garrett a new baseball glove today for his birthday. I was shocked and alarmed to see that the Rawlings and McGregor mits were Derek Jeter and A-Rod signatures.

Can you imagine !!??

I told the sales guy that he would make a bundle if he sold Sharpie markers next to all the gloves. He laughed...but I could see the wheels turning.

Garrett will love his new Nike baseball glove, endorsed by no one. It cost a few bucks more, but at least I can be sure that none of my money will make its way to the Evil Empire !!

What if ?

What if everyone had to always drive the speed you drive the morning after (or during) a snowstorm?

Please spell "humiliation" for a good cause

Heard a pretty good idea on the radio today. Brookline public schools is doing a fund raiser this week during the kids spelling bee. The kids do their thing during school and then at 2pm there is the adult Bee in which teams of 3 compete for a few prizes. The cost is $300 per team and the ad said that local business people, politicians and parents would be participating.

Sounds like a good way to raise money for the schools...and show kids that you don't have to know how to spell to be successful (kidding).

If it wasn't for a pretty loaded town like Brookline, I'd think it was great. How'd they come up with the $$ to advertise on the radio in the firsty place ?

Takes money to make money...

Save Toby

Shhhh...be vewy, vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbit.

....you'll be seeing this on the news by the weekend. I'm sure the PETA folks will certainly be on the case shortly.

Its amazing how some things take off.

And most don't.

The Winter of Our Discontent - Steinbeck

just starting this book...curious to see what happens to Ethan after he gets off his high horse and takes a few risks. - TK

Ethan Hawley works as a clerk in the grocery store owned by an Italian immigrant. His wife is restless, and his teenaged children are hungry for the tantalizing material comforts he cannot provide. Then one day, in a moment of moral crisis, Ethan decides to take a holiday from his own scrupulous standards.

The Da Vinci Code, Special Illustrated Edition

Some truth, some fiction...the best kind of book.

What I'm reading

Saving Faith -

Danny Buchanan and Faith Lockhart are the greatest influence peddlers in Washington because they can do something no one else can: guarantee results. But when Buchanan's scheme is uncovered by Robert Thornhill, a zealous CIA chief, he is forced to spy on his clients and network of politicians to further Thornhill's grand plan.

The times they are a changin'

Time to get on with it and see what happens.
