Pizza Subs
So having done time in Erie, PA, I’ve developed a taste for pizza subs. Now you’d think this would be an easy order to fill. Any place with sub rolls and pizza fixings should be able to build this, or so you would think. But alas there’s no one willing to do this. There was…

Leaf Clean Up
Well today was good day, it started off well enough, I pulled out the leaf vac and was cleaning up the front beds, watered the shrubs and then spiked them with a fertilizer spike. They’re beginning to come in pretty good but heck they’ve been in there for 4 years now. Some slight drama at…

Even in this day and age you can still miss the passing of an old friend. I found out my old roommate Bill Adams passed a couple of years ago. Brain cancer of all things. It makes one stop and think. The older I get the more I’m stunned by the revelation that life is…

Sandy’s Rock Art
So I married a girl with an artistic streak, talk about opposites attracting. I’m completely left brained seeing beauty in logic and science, my career in and addiction to computers is convincing evidence. Sandy is solidly right brained, social worker, loves beach sunsets, likes art and can paint. I can draw a pretty convincing stick…

Lumberjack Day
I’ll be the first to tell you I HATE removing trees and shrubs. It has nothing to do with the labor, it’s easier than moving the friggin bricks and it’s fun to play with chainsaws. It’s the fact that it’s green vegetation and I love trees. But in the name of progress and reclamation of…
