We got together with our friends, Chris and Pete, last night for dinner. It’s Restaurant Week in the Boston area so participating restaurants provide a fixed menu consisting of appetizer, entree, and dessert. Pete selected Gargoyle’s in Davis Square. There’s definitely more to this place than you’d expect from the front facing the street. I […]
I went to the dentist this morning for my semi-annual cleaning. Typically, I don’t mind going to the dentist. But this was the visit where they do the x-rays. Not just the ones they do once per year, these were the full mouth xrays that get done only once every 5-years. I was sure that […]
Jason and Bryan came over last night for dinner and games. I even cooked dinner for them. ME! And we all survived! Granted it was just a simple chicken parmesan dish with a salad….(and the sauce came from a jar). But cut me some slack – this is a leaps and bounds ahead of that […]

Anyway, it showed two soldiers; One was all talk, the other was holding a puppy (or small […]
I sound like Phil Collins. But unlike his ballad about longing to spend one more night WITH a person, i’m thrilled to have just one more night WITHOUT a person. Yep, Randy returns home from the west coast tomorrow and life returns to normal. I’ve come to realize many things in his extended absence: 1 […]
That’s sometimes how I feel living in Somerville. This past weekend I decided to see a movie at the Kendall Square Cinema in neighborhing Cambridge. With only one subway station in all of Somerville (Davis Square)…and with our house being a mile from that station, I opted to drive to the theatre. Besides, according to […]
