• In comes the new, kills off the old

    More of substance to follow shortly, but I thought I’d note the new look.

    Although the old page setup took a bit longer to load than I would have liked, I didn’t have any intention of making changes… until an upgrade of the blog software (WordPress 2.8) killed it.

    So for now, I give you “elegant grunge.”

    It may not look right, but it feels right.

  • Take it easy Leo

    I had a few half-baked posts I’d thought about finishing up and posting this afternoon, but I’m putting them on the back burner for a while. There will be plenty of time for self-absorption later.

    Cheryl’s grandfather passed away at home in Nashua (NH) today. He was 91.

  • The Time Traveler’s Wife

    This book made me cry – and I loved it. It pulled on the strings of my heart for days (maybe weeks) after I finished.

    I never remember the names of characters in books, sometimes even when I’m in the middle of reading. I seem to know them innately, recognizing them by their traits from line to line. But if I were to set the book down I couldn’t tell you the name of the person I was just reading about.

    More than a year later I can still pull two names instantly from my tattered mind: Clare Abshire and Henry DeTamble.

    I’m really excited the movie is coming out, but I’m not sure I can go see it. If it’s bad it’ll be devastating.
