Shuffle Bowling at St Vinnie’s
If I’d been able to figure out how to fit it into the back seat of our car, this would be in the living room of our home right now. Or maybe not. When I mentioned it to My Darling B she laughed and asked me where I thought we would be able to put Read.

Babies
Watching Babies is the most fun I’ve had at the movies since I can remember. Actually, we didn’t see it in a movie theater, we watched it at home, where we probably had a lot more fun than we could’ve had in a theater, because although people will overlook the occasional coo and awww when Read.

Show and Tell
Aaron, one of my coworkers, was showing me how to approve course work for continuing education. That’s what I do now; I’m one of the two continuing education specialists in my unit at the Department of Regulation and Licensing, so I’d better know how to do this at least a little better than the guy Read.

There’s a right way, and a guy way
I’ve made it to page five hundred something of The Making of the Atomic Bomb when it finally got really good, and by “really good” I mean I got to the part that guys would like most: The part about how they got the atomic bomb to blow up. This was not as easy as Read.

A Trip to the Silver Eagle
My Darling B and I went to the Silver Eagle yesterday afternoon. It’s the closest neighborhood bar to our house and we went there because we’d like to have a place we could walk to for a beer and a quiet corner to sit and chat. Even at five o’clock in the afternoon, this does Read.

Books!
I finished off the last of the books I’ve been reading this month: Of A Fire On The Moon I’ve never read anything by Norman Mailer before. This is one hell of a way to start. I’ve picked up Of A Fire On The Moon at least twice, once when I was in high school Read.

Gotham
I’ve been lusting after a hardbound copy of Gotham: A History of New York City to 1898 ever since I spotted it on the shelves at Paul’s Bookstore on State Street. Alas, it was priced way over the limit of what I’ll spend on any book (five dollars) that isn’t about rockets or choo-choo trains, Read.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
I’m still digesting The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the movie we watched yesterday evening. It’s a movie that’s taking a long time for me to digest because the way I do it is I let scenes play in my head over and over while I’m mowing the lawn or folding freshly-laundered clothes, and while Read.

Avatar
We watched Avatar Saturday night and, not surprisingly, it wasn’t anywhere near as good as everyone said it was going to be, and by “everyone” I mean every single person I’ve spoken to, in conversation or casually, while riding in an elevator or just filling up at the gas station, or even when greeting people Read.

The American
The American is the kind of movie I would have eaten up with a spoon when I was about eighteen years old. I was so into assassins back then that I cultivated the Hollywood version of the hit man’s personality, detached almost to the point of autism, wandering the streets of town in dark sunglasses Read.
