This week Rich and I were working at the Garrett Public Library. On the west side of the library is a side entrance door and three adjoining windows that are in pretty bad shape; we spent the week stripping the old varnish off of the wood, steel wool-ing them smooth, sanding them, applying a coat [...]

Pitcher Perfect
The older people get, the more they tend to forget things and generally go insane. The trouble is most of them don’t realize it; they usually think everyone else around them is to blame. If we were aware of that exact moment when we start to lose it then maybe it would help make the [...]

If you watch NBC’s The Office or ever swing by my YouTube site, you may have seen the promos for a new contest. Basically, they are asking people to make a promo for The Office, exactly 20 seconds long, and submit it to them. They’ll pick 3 grand prize winners to air on NBC after [...]

The Devil Does Indeed Wear Ed-a
I’ve had some people ask me if I can be spotted in either of the two movies that are currently out that I worked on, The Break Up and The Devil Wears Prada, and the answer is yes and no.
I have been lazy and haven’t gone out to the theaters yet to check them out [...]

Case in point:
I was reading the local newspaper yesterday and there was a story about some maniac running around in the New York [...]

Honk!!
Yesterday Dad, Rich, and I were returning from lunch in downtown Garrett and heading back to the worksite. We approached a corner and there were a couple of little girls there on the corner with signs, yelling at the passing cars. I assumed they were advertising a lemonade stand or yard sale or perhaps even [...]

Old Friends
Today I called JT. Hadn’t talked to him in a long time (too long). It was really good to talk with him again and catch up. He’s a good man, strong work ethic, and I admire him a lot (plus, he’s freakin’ hilarious). You know those people that you know and miss and love but [...]
