Ice-tastic

So, the state of New Hampshire has been iced over in the past couple of days and a lot of people are still without power/heat throughout the state. It's pretty intense. I'm glad to report, though, that we're doing well and were only without power for a short time yesterday morning/afternoon. A tree snapped in twain because of the ice and fell on of the car parked two spots down from ours, but our car escaped any harm. That's our exciting ice storm news.

In other news, not a lot of anything is going on. The kids have finals this week, so it will hopefully be pretty quiet in the building here. I have quite a bit to do before we leave for Iowa in eight days, so this coming week will be busy. So it goes.

I hope you're all doing well. Wish I had more to report, but I don't... So...

Stay Gold!

For Joseph

Preliminary Iowa tattoo sketch for my broseph Joseph.
The corn will probably be replaced by a better version of the gold finch seen at the bottom of the drawing. I'll work on the font within the banner, too.



Now it's late, so I'm going to bed.

Prop 8 - The Musical

This is good. Watch it.

Boston

We went to Boston this past Saturday. There's no big story beyond that, really. We spent some time walking around on the Freedom Trail and seeing the sights. Then we ate some dinner. Then we hung out in a giant Border's bookstore while we waited for a friend to finish her dinner date with a kid she knows. Then we came home. I had been in downtown Boston before and walked through most of the Freedom Trail, but Sarah had not. I got to play tour guide and explain a bunch of stuff that isn't actually all that interesting if you're not a nerd for history like I am. Oh well, it was nice to get out of Durham for a day, anyway.

Check it out... The Boston skyline from just outside the North End:


A big Christmas tree in Quincy Market:

We're adorable, I know.

Also, did you know that the gravestone of Mr. John Hancock looks like a twenty foot tall penis? True story. Feel free to insert your own joke about Hancock having such a large phallus that it could be seen by the King all the way from England, or about his last name being fitting for his gravestone, etc etc etc. I wasn't thinking about any of those things, though, because I was too busy focusing on history and how awesome freedom and America are. Grow up, people.


Anyway, back to the grind tomorrow. Gross. Have a good week, everybody.

Stay Gold,
