Ok, so weddingwire with its countdown (aka. freak out) calendar says it’s five days away. 5. Fiiiive. Less than six. You get the idea. And Sarah and I have been running around like task hounds, borne on the helpful wings of our parents, siblings and much supporting prayer. One of our big steps? Getting the [...]
Don’t quite know why, but the first official days of summer have that extra glow of specialness to them. Perhaps it’s a combination of reflection over the recently passed academic year and the chance to do a good day hike on a Thursday in perfect weather. And the realization that it can keep on coming.

With an inviting sun overhead and late afternoon temperatures at a perfect mid sixties, it wasn’t a hard choice at all this Friday to hop on the bike with the newly trued rear wheel (thanks, Ferris Wheels!) and pedal my way towards Millennium Park. All the more inviting to get outside since we just got [...]
That last geographic marker is an important one; we went to central Massachusetts, not western Massachusetts.

I think we’re all getting used to having these mid-week snow storms–a two-part big winter storm heading our way later today and all through tomorrow, apparently. Predictions as high as a foot and a half of accumulation? Geez. As S remarked the other day, we haven’t had a full week of school for this entire [...]
Ok, to all the naysayers who say that Facebook and other social networking sites don’t add to our lives? Here’s a ‘ha!’ retort right back at you. Thank you S.R.–who admittedly, is only a peripheral friend (of the FB kind, no?)–who posted this Huffington Post piece about the nor’easter that just blew through the East [...]
Finally got our first significant snow showing of the year! And sure, while there wasn’t enough to get any decent accumulation beyond an inch or two, it was plenty to cause cars to squeal for traction on the moderate hill outside the window this late afternoon into early evening. (I have to admit, it made [...]
