Snow Day #1 Valentine’s Day #2

First off a lot has been happening, believe me- it’s not that we suddenly became boring and had nothing to post.

Between Maggie’s masters thesis, the first month of the new semester, and everything else we’ve been doing there has been little time to post. Sometimes you just have to live and not report on it.

I’ve also found that we have more readers than I thought. I’ve had several people (some of them kind of expected, but more of them not) tell me they enjoyed things they found on the blog- but they don’t comment. So it seems some of the imaginary audience is not so imaginary. Feel free to comment or just to read- it’s whatever you want. I’m just glad people are checking in every so often. So I’ll post a bit more frequently to avoid losing the readers we do have.

Now that I said all that, I’ll abbreviate the rest.

• Soul De Cuba is not all it’s cracked up to be, but they do have Carib
• Christopher Martin’s is -better than I expected – Maggie had one of her top meals ever last night
• Wii Play rules, but maybe only if you didn’t already have an extra remote (video of Maggie fishing to follow- she’s a gold medallist- I suck at it)
• I still love marzipan
• Matt Belknap and aspecialthing.com have their first comedy CD out
• "House Hunting 07" moves to the mortgage broker phase in the coming weeks
• The student director project is shaping up to include a lot more than I could have imagined, but doesn’t start until after the break- Drama Club for actors, Creative Writing courses for script ideas- and lots of individualized production roles for my students.
• Freakonomics was really good
• The Children of Men the novel was ok- very different from the film, but if you like that you should check this out
• We preordered the new Harry Potter book
• I'll be 29 soon

With the snow day (really an Ice Day so we still don’t get to use the six-foot toboggan I got for Maggie) falling on Valentine’s Day, we get to have more of a Valentine’s mini weekend. So, I can’t stay at the computer too much longer. There is still a lot to do.
