  The purpose of this post is partly to ponder the pure privation and perilous period of the Puritan’s past while promoting the prodigious presence of the Plimoth Plantation through pictures and praise.
  Please proceed.

  Sorry….. Anyways, Cam, Meg, and I spent the day at Plimoth Plantation last weekend and I wanted to give them a much deserved [...]

  A GOOD customer service experience

  09.06.07 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  Too often do we read about customer service nightmares, and too rarely do we read about the pleasures of dealing with certain companies. I’ve always thought this was a bit backwards.
  Well, I just had a great customer service experience and I want to give credit where credit is due. Last week I ordered a book [...]

  I thought I’d mess around with ustream.tv. I’ll broadcast from our cottage from time to time. Keep checking back. We’ll be up here until Thursday. (August 2nd)

  HAPPY INDEPENDECE DAY!!!
  Here is a clip from one of the most obnoxious parades in America. It’s absolutely fantastic.

  This goes on for about half an hour and includes fire trucks from dozens of towns. The video really doesn’t do it any justice at all. It could be the loudest single event I’ve ever been a [...]

  That crazy Kermit

  I’m driving down route 495 the other day, minding my own business, when I notice a little green blob moving across the rear window of my car. The little green blob then proceeded to jump from the middle of the window to the rear windshield wiper. All this while speeding along at 61 knots (that’s [...]

  Recipe: Sweet Potato Casserole

  A recipe? On skyecade online? What will people think?!
  Yeah, I was surprised I was posting this myself, but I feel it is my duty to the human race. A friend of mine gave me this recipe because MLL told her how much I love sweet potatoes. By the way, I also really like casseroles. [...]

  It was 70 degrees out Wednesday. The sun was shining, birds were chirping. Needless to say, my spring fever had kicked into high gear.

  I had such a weird dream last night.
  The dream began with me coming out of a big ol’ church and making my way to the church parking lot to get into my Jeep. When I got there, I found that my Jeep had been stripped of all valuable parts (rims, running boards, lights, etc…) [...]

  Call me Uncle Bob

  My sister gave birth to a 10 pound baby boy on Christmas Eve, Donovan James McCarthy. This is her and her husband’s first baby and my first venture into unclehood. Needless to say, the entire family is ecstatic.

  Including my daughter who has had a sudden interest in babies over the last year or so. [...]
