Close to Home…

Looking forward to being in the theatre the weekend of January 18. As I noted in my write up on I Am Legend, I do enjoy movies that have New York under attack (sick, I know). Cloverfield is looking like a fun ride! The poster is awesome… and I kind of think the destruction shown [...]

Wizards Win, Ordinals Lose (Big)

It was a better night for hockey last night since 1 of the 2 games was a winner. The Wizards had a great win, 7-1, against the Hornets. This was a good victory for the Wizards to get since earlier in the season the Wizards gave the Hornets their first (and so far only) win [...]

Gingerbread House

We made our first ever gingerbread house (and not just our first as a couple, but a first for either one of us). We got one of those basic kits and did some of the assembly last night and then more today. The front and left panel were decorated by Will. Will also whipped up [...]
