Linda and Alan had a Christmas party, and we all were singing carols by the piano. This, friends, is the reason your parents tell you to keep up with your piano lessons. Heed their advice! If only I had! The […]
We finally opened a bottle of sake that Pete brought back for us from Japan about a gazillion years ago. I know, I know, sake is not supposed to age. But this didn’t seem any worse for the wear. It […]

Sour Cherry Farm’s tree took on a new look this year. We went with a tabletop Christmas tree. You know, with a crawling, curious toddler and all. It actually ends up being a lot easier to water, for one. And […]

I live 16 miles from my office. The worst commute I’d ever had before this one was 1 1/2 hours on a Friday before Columbus Day weekend. This took the cake. The nor’easter hit just about 4 o’clock, when everyone […]
