Massaman and Pad Thai
Just sitting here on Sunday evening watching my fantasy football hopes go up in flames once again while I change a few things on the site. Pretty relaxing weekend here. Just listened to the Hokie game yesterday (a drubbing of William & Mary) and ran a few errands last night, followed by a thoroughly enjoyable…

Windows Update
Quite the productive weekend around the house here. I finished painting the rest of the windows as well as the subsequent scraping of the paint off the glass. Bill also offered to paint the entire roof trim so I helped him with that, and we even managed to replace the roof trim on one side…

Shriners
Pretty uneventful weekend around here as it rained for most of it. I’ve had to do some actual work which makes for what amounts to a non-existent weekend, but we did manage to head out yesterday evening to help out my Dad and Marlene with one of their Shrine events. We helped hand out drinks…

All by myself
On Friday, Monica headed off to spend a week in New York with the family so I’ve been all alone this weekend. (She arrived safely and has been having a great time, she tells me.) Yesterday, I did some much needed yard work, and got to finally use our new lawn mower. Man, I must…

Back to the beach
Went to the beach this morning for a couple of hours of relaxation. It was really beautiful, not a cloud in the sky, but man, did it start to get hot the closer it got to noon. It’s really nice to live so close to the beach that we can just hop in the car…

Reverse Redneck
For the first time since we moved back to this area, I’ve been to the beach. It really hasn’t changed. We decided to get up early this morning, around 7 am, in order to head out to the beach before it got too crowded. We arrived a little around 8:30 am, and we had no…

Memorial Weekend Update
This weekend was very exciting for me because my mom Julia and my cousin Luis drove all the way from The Bronx to come see us. They drove all Friday night and arrived Saturday early morning. After some sleep, we had a wonderful lunch of platanos con huevos (plantains and eggs) and headed to the…

Yardscaping
Wow, what a beautiful weekend, and we spent a great deal of it outside in our yard. On Saturday, we planted twelve azaleas down one side of our house (with fresh top soil and mulch) with the hopes that they will bloom watermelon red flowers relatively soon. It took a while digging all of those…

Typical Weekend
Pretty busy weekend for us as we started out having dinner with family to celebrate my uncle’s birthday on Friday night. We went to Frankie’s, a local rib place. I love me some good BBQ. Then on Saturday, I got up early to meet my Dad at our house to do some yard work. We…

Turtles and Sharks and Horseshoe Crabs, Oh My
We went to the Virginia Marine Science Museum today with our friend Laura who is visiting us for the weekend. We saw lots of turtles, sharks, various fish, and other sea life. We even got to touch some sting rays and a horseshoe crab. Nothing like some good ol’ fashioned museum fun, with some learnin’…
