• At the Movies

    So we’ve seen two movies recently. One, the last part of a much-hyped trilogy and the other, another clone of those ever popular British-romantic comedies. No, the second one was not my choice. If you haven’t guessed already, the first movie I’m talking about is Matrix Revolutions. Everyone’s been waiting since the spring to see…

  • Happy Veteran’s Day

    “Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen in the Nation`s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans` service…

  • Hokie Pride

    Wow. That’s what I have to say after the butt-whoopin’ Virginia Tech put on Miami on Saturday night. What a great game. It was Beamerball through and through as our defense and special teams did most of the talking, although there was a flash of brilliance from Marcus Vick (known to some as MV2, his…

  • Weekend Update

    Brian and I had a really good weekend. Friday night, our neighbor Cathy, Brian and I sat in front of our house eating pizza and handing out candy to the 20 kids that showed up trick or treating. Saturday we went Christmas shopping…yes, you read correctly! It was about a 6 hour adventure walking in…

  • I Got A Rock

    Just a quick note to tell everyone to have a happy and safe Halloween. Now go out and look for the sincerest pumpkin patch you can find and wait for the Great Pumpkin!

  • Mid-Week Update

    Well, I thought I would update the site, but there is really not much happening on the homestead this week. It has been a rainy couple of days in the DC area and it really makes it hard to get up and go to work or be excited about much. We bought a pumpkin last…

  • 31 Years Young!!

  • Mommy….Glad You’re Home!

    This weekend, I left Brian and little jack as Laura and I went to the beautiful Shenandoah Valley for a girl’s weekend away. The weekend was absolutely beautiful. We had a great time at a little B&B called The Widow Kip’s Country Inn. The weather could not have been better and it was very relaxing.…

  • Hot Tubbin’ in the Burg

    This past weekend was Fall Alumni Weekend for the fraternity, and we had a blast. Went down early on Thursday night, then got up Friday morning to check out the downtown area and eat some lunch at one of the old hangouts. It’s really changed since I graduated. The highlight of the afternoon was seeing…

  • Weekend with Mom

    It’s hard to believe that Monday is here again. This weekend, my mom, Julia, came to visit from NY, and it was great to have her around for a couple of days. We love to chat, shop, gossip and munch on some really good Puerto Rican food together. Brian likes my mom’s visits because she…
