Money is a little tight at the moment. If you look at my bank balance, you’ll see $892.98. Not bad, right? Well, that doesn’t take into account that my $850 rent check hasn’t cleared yet. It arrived on the 5th of the November, so it could clear at any moment. That leaves me with $42.98… Continue reading Broke

Parental Visit Pictures
While my parents were here, we drove up to New Hampshire to take the Cog Railway train up Mt. Washington. On the way up, we stopped by some waterfall where the view was spectacular. My mom and I at the waterfall. These are pictures from the Cog Railway. It was cold on the train. This… Continue reading Parental Visit Pictures
Duck Tour Photo
This picture was taken right before we got on the Boston Duck Tour during the parental visit. I have to admit, that was a lot of fun.
Tour Guide
This is the second day with my parents in town. It’s been good having them here. Yesterday, we left their vehicle at my office and took the T around town. We went to Haymarket, Quincy Market, and saw a few assorted things. They came back to my place and saw Reggie. He got a new… Continue reading Tour Guide

For Christmas, our gifts were always of the same dollar value, making sure that one wasn’t cheated. As adults, it’s not such a big deal. Well, to us it’s not, but to them it still… Continue reading A Check
Homeward Bound
I just booked my rental car to drive home for Sarah’s birthday. I could fly, but I would then have to pay between $200 and $300 to carry Reggie as luggage, assuming I could take him on the plane. That, or I would have to leave him with friends. Instead, the car rental was $125… Continue reading Homeward Bound
Gift Arrival
My mom’s Mother’s Day gift arrived. This information comes via my sister, but at least I know it arrived. My mom will probably call me tonight. She was really busy at her shop today.
Mothers Day Gift
I called and ordered my mothers day gift today. It’s still going to be late because it won’t ship until tomorrow. I should have called yesterday but my plan was to order it via the GMCR website. They were having technical difficulties, so I didn’t do it yesterday. Today I gave up and called them.… Continue reading Mothers Day Gift
Marilou
Who knew that having dinner with a member of your family could be that enjoyable? My cousin Marilou is here for a conference, and it was great seeing her. I haven’t enjoyed a dinner that much in a very long time. Marilou has always been like an older sister to me. It’s good to see… Continue reading Marilou
