Wait, What?
Yup, Willy picked up a viola this year for school orchestra. And I guess it immediately cultured him, as he was spotted reading a BOOK later that day. (We must have lost power or something. )

No Thank You
What a feeling to look up at a tree down the road which you walk past 2-3 times a day, and you see THIS. It was huge, and very very busy. And, of course, the inhabitants were big and demonic looking. Later that same day, different creepy sight at the soccer field. Don’t see it?…

What You Don’t See
A small wrappable heating pad, for someone’s knee injury – immediately taken over by the dog. Perhaps there’s an untapped market of dog therapeutics. Regardless, this thing is really awesome for any pain, as it turns out. Shoulder, back, belly, whatever. And so far, it hasn’t caught fire – which I’ve always assumed devices like…

About that Smoke
I have a habit of serenading the whole neighborhood in smoke when I’m cooking. BBQ is underrated and underserved in New England, so I feel obligated to give everyone a taste. Not of the meat, that I’m much more selective about! Especially when its a small cut. And it tastes infinitely better than it looks!

Smoking and Bistro Dining
Neither really related either. Kids are enjoying some initimate bistro dining (in the breezeway – where the breeze is their own smelly shoes). Outside the smoker is fired up for a pork butt – not to be done til tomorrow. Lucky kids though, appears they got burgers, mac n cheese and salad. Again, in the…
