Bonnie and I love to wander. The gypsy blood in us causes us to uproot every now and again from we’ve hung our hats comfortably for a period of time to go out and find a new horizon. These days we’ve reserved our “wandering” for the weekends and there’s one place on our “to-do list” [...]
There’s roughly ten minutes remaining in regulation time during this afternoon’s matinee hockey game between my beloved Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals. The Bruins were/are the NHL Stanley Cup Champions after surviving three game seven matchups before setting the town of Vancouver on fire when the Stanley Cup itself was presented to the Bruins [...]
As many of you know, our oldest daughter is studying abroad at the University of Leeds, approximately two hours north of London. She lives with three other “flatmates” and her weekends are always jam packed with activities. This past weekend she explored the waterfront capital city of Wales (Cardiff [The Fort of Didius]) and after [...]
So the joggers in the afternoon remind me each afternoon that it’s that time of year again where the winter pounds are being shed for the spring and summer months. I always internally ask each of them to run an extra mile for me. Running was never my forte. Running a bar tab is probably [...]
With exactly one hundred and fifty-five posts on this blog I suspect you’ve learned by now that the term “mainstream” is not exactly where I hang my hat.

So it’s now Tuesday morning, two days after the Super Bowl was played in Indianapolis, and two days after the Cheney house was once again full of friends watching the New York Giants and New England Patriots. Since the final score of this matchup was not exactly what we were looking for the bottle of [...]
It’s early morning here. The Lu-dog has had her morning meal and is already fast asleep dreaming of the English countryside she once knew. The girls continue their slumber and our oldest who chimed in a few moments ago from across the pond also received a welcome night’s sleep after actually touring the English countryside. [...]
There’s a houseful of guests expected today. This will be our very first house party since signing with the title company about eighteen months ago. We’ve asked for this get together because of our love of sports, particularly the New England Patriots and their AFC Divisional matchup with the high profile Denver Broncos. Should be [...]
The new resolution has already started paying dividends. Already? YES. I started a project out in the garage a week or so before our Christmas couch arrived from Pottery Barn. This project was a simple one which included sanding down a chest I purchased for Bonnie as our 1st wedding anniversary gift. Stripping twenty three [...]
