Note #1 Storm or no storm the open house is on, if necessary we will see about college style crashing.

Note #2 The widow across the street is getting married tomorrow (congrats) so they will be needing their side of the street for reception (at home) so if at all possible park on the odd side of the street or at the Romano’s parking lot.

2010 seems pretty much the same so far, except for the continual Doctor Who Marathon until part 2 of the End of Time on BBC America.

So as the antibiotics go over the hump I’m going to do my best to recuperate because after today it is crunch time.
Other than deep cleaning and my son’s
