We didn’t make it downtown for the Macy’s parade, but we did manage to hit Manhattan on Black Friday to see the window displays. Macy’s definitely had the best, but they were all pretty good. You can check out the pictures here.
We walked all over downtown, and I even got my roasted chestnuts [...]

Well, no parade for us this morning. I got up at 5 am to check the weather, and it was pouring down rain with no end in site. There was still a question as to whether they would fly the balloons or not; they finally made the call to fly them at 8:30 [...]
Eleven hours later and we finally arrive in New York. This was one of the worst drives we’ve experienced in recent memory. Here’s what we encountered:
windy and rainy conditions in southern VA
an accident in Northern VA
rush hour in in Northern VA
an accident in MD
three of four lanes closed in DE
two lanes closed on [...]
We’re off to New York to spend Thanksgiving with Monica’s family. We’re going to attempt to go the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday. Neither of us (or anyone in Monica’s family) has been previously so we’re not sure what to expect as far as crowds and such, but I think being there [...]

Not to mention that because we have so many Christmas movies and [...]
Hmmm, so maybe I spoke too soon when I said the Senate was safe.
The Republicans really took a butt-whoopin’. I guess running on no issues, and just plugging away at how awful Iraq is was enough for the Democrats, not to mention having the media pulling for you with story after story slanted in [...]
I can’t believe I’ve been watching four hours of election coverage. I’m such a politics geek sometimes.
Thelma Drake has won. The marriage amendment passed. Allen and Webb is too close to call right now, and a recount seems likely. The Democrats have taken control of the House. The Senate looks [...]
Tomorrow is the big day. All of the relentless political commericials will finally stop.
Anyone that knows me can figure out which way I’ll be voting tomorrow. As a Christian, I have to vote for the candidate (or basically the party) whose policies more closely resemble my beliefs. That, of course, [...]
We went to two pumpkin carving parties last weekend, and here’s what we have to show for it.
Pretty sweet if you ask me. I had always done the free hand thing previously, you know, the old school pumpkin face that Lucy draws on Charlie Brown’s head. This year we actually bought a [...]
