Holy cow, but am I ever glad that our local weather people were wrong, wrong, wrong!  They were freaking everyone out with snow totals, but we got significantly less than expected--YEAH!!!  Of course, NYC and New England are still getting slammed, and for that I am deeply sorry--stay safe.

I truly hope everyone had an awesome New Year's Eve and that we will all have a happy and healthy 2015 :)

The Mummer's Day Parade will be on for ten hours with continuous coverage on one of our local Philly channels--I know I say this every year, but I just can't wrap my brain around it.  At all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!  :):)

On Saturday, I saw the excellent Chrisopher Durang play Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike at the Bucks County Playhouse and overall, it was wonderful.( A slight rant behind the cut :) )

My mom decided that the maple tree we have in our backyard needed a trimming, so my mom set about getting a bunch of estimates.( And here comes the Kravitz family :):) )

Just came back from seeing the second in the Bucks County Playhouse play series that I signed up for and the production of Ira Levin's Deathtrap was extremely well done.  I remembered the initial double cross but the subsequent ones had me reeling.  A very clever and well plotted murder mystery--well done Mr. Levin :):)

First, I love the regional rails and I love President Obama for looking out for the people in PA.  Yes, the SEPTA workers deserve a fair wage but you can’t cripple commuters and all of the businesses depending on all of those people coming into the city to work to make your point and still retain the goodwill of the train riders.  I hope the ( Read more... )

So, I was really looking forward to seeing The Screwtape Letters tomorrow, but now there's been a strike on the regional rails, so that means we're going to have to drive to Center City.  This ticks me off big time--there's already road and bridge construction that are hampering commuters but now there is going to be more people on the road because ( Read more... )

Well today marked Philadelphia's 244th St. Patrick;s Day Parade and of course I watched it to see my mom and her Irish dancing group perform--I also used to dance but stopped many years ago--but the parade people were interviewing some dude while her school did their routine.  The news crew did a split screen but still--what a bunch of crap ( Read more... )

and getting low on heating oil.  We are down to about a quarter of a tank and while we won't use that all in one day, we definitely have to call the oil company on Monday for a fill-up.  And on Monday we are supposed to have temps in the 30's but Tuesday and Wednesday are supposed to be back in the teens and single digits.  Now is not the time to ( Read more... )

And here we are again with horrible arctic temperatures:  it is currently 14 degrees F and I just had to shovel about eight inches of snow.  Now the snow was powdery, so it wasn't too heavy but the cold wind from the polar vortex which is now evading the East Coast is making it horrendous to be outside.

I can't wait for Spring.
