Today AKW posted on Facebook: “LAST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL EVER.” And I thought, “OH. MY. GOD.” Yes, Dear Old Dad’s girls are now all finished with High School. Of course, I was done a long, long, long time ago. But we just won’t talk about that. I had to go diving into my bookshelf, [...]

…that means my prom dress is, too. Holy cow. Last weekend I was on the phone with AKW, who just attended her own senior prom. She thought it was hilarious and cute that I still have my prom dress, sun stains and all. Oh well…what can I say? TAW’s birthday always brings out the nostalgia. [...]

Yes folks, it’s almost The Day On Which We All Eat Like Gluttons And Oh Yeah, Wasn’t That Tonto Such A Nice Pilgrim? Plus, The Lions Are On TV! No, seriously, I love Thanksgiving. My sister likes to say, “I’m going to eat till I pass out.” Usually I don’t go that far, but is [...]
Senior Night

It’s Senior Night at HHS! Very exciting. The seniors on the football, dance, and cheer squads will be introduced along with family members and get some love from the crowd! Whoo! Yeah, I don’t really understand it either. We didn’t have this stuff at RHCS in the 80s. At least, I don’t remember it. I [...]

It was an exciting weekend, folks. OK, not really. The wet weather kept me inside and I skipped the football games; I’m a bad sister! Bad! Sigh. But after the last cold and drizzly game I was ill for a couple of days, and I didn’t want to have the same or worse happen again [...]

It happened again…The NCIS:LA Car post has spiked! Hilarious. It happens every week. When I went to the Washington Auto Show in January and noted the crowd of dudes around, and then photographed (because it was ORANGE! come ON!) the new Challenger, I never imagined it’d come back to the blog. So, thanks y’all, for [...]
Always Something There To Remind Me

Last weekend was the big twentieth reunion in Red Hook. Now, unlike many folks, I am always aware of how long it’s been since graduation, since it was right around the time Taylor was born. Every time she has a birthday, I think of how fast the years slip by. Just like taking Taylor and [...]
Ah, the historic diner

I love The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks. I’ve even submitted to them and seen my submission posted! Now, the “Blog” goes to my home town. On a somewhat-related greasy spoon note, this makes me miss Sal’s Pizzeria.
Blast from the past

So I was in NYS over the weekend visiting mom. I drove through my home town and found it VERY difficult to stop myself from simply pulling off and wandering into a random orchard to pick some apples. I staved it off with a trip to Stewart’s. Sadly, no baseball helmet sundaes were on offer. [...]
Ferris wheel of death

Erie County Fair by flickr user tonydude919 under a CClicense Ah, that time of year is upon us once again. That wonderful time of folding midway rides, 4-H livestock shows, and second-tier acts on an outdoor stage (preferably located on the infield of a demo derby track). Yes, it’s August and that means it’s County [...]
