Watched This Boy's Life and then came across an interview of the author Tobias Wolff.



Going to an event today at the Chelsea Piers. Never been there before, looks interesting.



Tomorrow is a visit to Wildwood BBQ. Their Beer selections are top-notch.



From AnswersAskKids.com :Icicles are formed by the freezing of water when it drips from a surface. They lengthen as more water drips and freezes, and eventually taper into points. They may be caused by snow or ice melting and re-freezing as the temperature falls and rises and then falls again, or they may be formed when dripping water becomes just cold enough to be frozen into place as it falls over the side of a surface.

Take the Inferno Test and see what level you should be placed.



Last week was the last of this year's No.1
Ladies Detective Agency. Real good series, Jill Scott
is terrific as is Anika Noni Rose.



Have to get this one. One of my favorite writers.



An Age of Kings DVD was good.
I have to re-read Henry IV to get back into it. I always read
the play before seeing it. What I did see was worth it.
Sean Connery as Hotspur is a hoot. Falstaff played by
Frank Pettingell is great.
