Don’t get alarmed people, we were not inebriated, intoxicated, defusticated, or otherwise incapacitated in our ability to function. Nor did we drive an automobile while in said state. (WE would NEVER do that!) And we didn’t inhale. (well, okay, we inhaled a little, but only when there wasn’t much choice. I can say truthfully that…

I have moved. I hope to never move again. (And by the way I am currently feeling, I may never be able to physically move again. ) I am tired in ways I didn’t know it was possible to be tired. And very very very hot. And my stuff is mostly in the garage and…

May I rant for a moment? I have just spent the day getting ready for the big move tomorrow (in which all of my stuff follows my example and makes the trek from Providence to Yonkers.) Would that it were that easy– If I could train my stuff to do my bidding like fleas, it…

Sorry that we haven’t been updating the website so much. (Our gracious readers have been clamoring for more, no doubt, so we will do our best to make like Mr. Chesterfield and Satisfy.) We were in Chicago for five days, and life has been intervening in between all that (Pesky life!) And while this post…

I can’t believe that we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. The kitchen is nearly complete! Aaron and FX (handyman friend-of-Adam’s-brother that’s been helping) have done an awesome job getting it all together, including putting up the tin ceiling (which looks like it’s always been there), the light fixtures, and…
