Long Way Round

I finally got the DVDs for Long Way Round, Ewan MacGregor and Charley Boorman’s 2004 round the world motorcycle trip. They had filmed it and turned it into a show, which apparently aired on Bravo but I never saw it. I had to order the DVDs from amazon.ca because I wasn’t finding them still available […]

Red Stick Ramblers in the area

My favorite band will be up in the northeast quite a bit this year. I recommend checking them out at one of these shows if you’ve never seen them before. The best part is that I go to these places any way, and they’ll just happen to be there. February 28 – World Cafe Live […]

Wharton State Forest

We did a 9 mile hike in Wharton State Forest today. The original plan was to do Mt. Tammany or Sunfish Pond so I was disappointed when no one wanted to drive that far and it was decided that we’d stay in flat South Jersey. It ended up not being as bad as I thought […]

Comanche Moon

The Comanche Moon miniseries is finally set to air on CBS. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. It’s the last of the adaptations of the books, and again Larry McMurtry was a co-screenwriter so it will be very true to the story. There are a bunch of clips available on CBS’s website […]

BRC

I’m signed up to take the Basic Rider Course on the last weekend of March. My plan is to start getting gear ahead of time and then find a good used bike in April. I’m thinking a HD Sportster 1200. I was planning on the 883 but I’ve been told that when riding with others […]

Free Hugs Philly

I saw the Free Hugs video on youtube last week. It’s been there for a while but I missed it before. I thought it was a great idea, and if you just search for “free hugs” on youtube you’ll see pages and pages of videos of people doing it all over the world. It’s really […]

it’s beginning to look a lot like…

Got my Christmas tree up yesterday, just in time for snow today!  I actually did have to brush snow off my car very early Sunday morning too, but this snow is sticking around on things besides cars.

Enchanted

I took my little sisters to see Enchanted last night.  Or I guess I should say, I really wanted to see it, and used them as my excuse (although at almost 13 and 17 they’re getting a little old to be my excuse for seeing children’s movies).  It was really great though.  I had read […]

quilting

I was at the greatest craft store last weekend – Corning Stitch Works. My grandmother had meant to take us to the Crafting Cottage, which is apparently also a really great store, but we ended up finding the Stitch Works first. They mostly had yarn and fabric, although they also had some great vintage stuff […]
