We Lost Our House

November 8, 2008 –

We had an agreement to buy a house at 108 Sawmill Road in Stamford (here it is on zillow, realtor.com, the agent’s site), but the deal blew up yesterday.  So we’re back in the market.
I feel very lucky, even though we lost 3 weeks of house searching and $1,300.  The place was a money pit [...]

Changing it all up

October 26, 2008 –

Herbietown has been neglected.  I’ll be the first to admit it.  My loyal readers, I owe you an apology.  I am begging for forgiveness.
But the last couple of months were rollercoaster crazy.  Everything is changing.
1.  Greta is pregnant again.  She is due April 13 with #2.  Wowza.  You are probably as surprised as we were.
I [...]

Good Supermarkets in CT?

September 20, 2008 –

Before moving to The City That Works, we lived in Lebanon, New Hampshire.  We bought food at the Co-Op.  It was glorious.
Sure, it was a bit tree-huggery.  But they had fresh produce and meats, do-it-yourself peanut butter, a huge wine selection, and 78 varieties of Kashi cereal.
Life was good.
Here in Stamford, we go to the [...]

Jack should model

Jack should model
 
 
Look at this picture. It’s an advertisement for a crib from Burlington Coat Factory.  I’m sorry, but this baby is Ugly.
Where do they find these kids?
I guarantee that Jack would sell triple the cribs as this ugly baby.
Should we get him involved in child modeling? Maybe he’d start [...]

Best of Today

August 9, 2008 –

A few thoughts from today…
1. We saw this bumper sticker at the beach near my father’s house in Fairfield. I laughed. It reminded me of how many people think the world is “dog eat dog,” and, in fact, it just might be. There is some funny dialogue on this topic in [...]

Stamford Blog Network?

July 4, 2008 –

So I just rolled off a pretty busy project at work, and I’m finally catching up on my blog reading. I missed a lot!
I was checking out Manager Mom’s blog, and I was totally impressed with some of the stuff she’s been putting out. This MILF is hilarious! I clicked through (from [...]

CT Plates 392-DKO: MOVE YOUR CAR!

June 8, 2008 –

I just posted this flyer up and down Prospect Street.  This car’s alarm has been going off since Thursday night.  It’s times like this that I wish I believed in hell, so I could curse people to it.
Hopefully the flyers will attract some attention to the problem.  Or perhaps the owner of this Lincoln Continental [...]
