The end is hopefully nigh. Sadly, it is looking like the orange horse is taking the lead. And I say sadly not because I"m a fan of the other one. I am so dissapointed that Johnson turned out to be so lame. Here was the PERFECT oppertunity for a real 3rd party candidate, a former governor, to take the lead in a race between two failing party noms.. ( Read more... )

So yesterday I got an American Girl catalog in the mail. Well, it was addressed to 'the family', but regardless, it had our name on it.

Ted Kennedy's funeral will take place as Danny Boy rains down on us. Also in Weymouth will be another huge funeral for a local police officer killed on duty by an elderly driver. For that they are shutting down part of Rt. 18, so beware. Glad we don't have either funeral ( Read more... )

We went to see Star Trek today, and I have to say I enjoyed it, although I didn't completely like everything in the movie. I get that it's a way of restarting the franchise, giving it new life, and I think the cast for the most part is very up to the task. I liked the new Kirk, Spock, and so on, although as I recall, the original crew did not ( Read more... )
