I had a dream about an interesting thing. I was about the size and shape and usefulness of a coffee table, but it was one wide-tired wheel with a fender. I remember putting it together when Steven Spielberg insisted that it have a shelf on the lower trailing edge of the fender. It would follow […]
We moved the RV today. There a guy here in Cabot named Mitch, who plows the driveway here and he said we could park it on his land for free. Stephanie and I were discussing how and when we were going to do it, when an acquaintance of Mitch’s stopped by to remind us of […]
Well, it’s that day again. The girls, who refused to go to sleep before 10:30, were, of course, up by 7:30 AM. Once again I was wracked by guilt that ‘Santa’ did not come to our house. I hate this day because of crap like that. But we got going by 9:45 and headed out. […]
My christmas present to the girls was to take them to the matinée screening of the Tintin movie. First of all, wow. Now that that’s out of the way, I was much happier with the picture than I thought I would be. Haddock’s blue sweatshirt was so good you could see the individual threads of […]
Happy Solstice! What a long day. The last day of school for the girls for over a week! What are we going to do with them…? Steph and I decided not to move the RV today. At the last minute she thought that driving it unregistered and un-inspected might not be a good idea. She […]
I wasn’t quite so sore this morning. I put the futon back together and had to run. Today’s call was 9 AM. Once again I stopped at the MapleField’s in Woodstock and got an egg sandwich and coffee. I am very thankful that Ethan lent me $40! I didn’t have time to walk in from […]
Oh, boy, does today suck. Brenda’s futon sure isn’t my own bed. With a crick in my neck and a sore muscle in my back I woke up at 9:30 at Brenda’s house only to realize that I might not make it to work on time! I did though, just exactly in time. But once […]
The start of a three day stint at Dartmouth. After years of saying I’ll stay there, I will actually stay at Brenda’s place in Woodstock. And she’s been having trouble downloading her camera, so I’ll help her straighten that out. Today’s call time was 11 AM. After getting the girls of to school, I got […]
What a long, glorious day! Today was all about the Nutcracker. We spent the morning getting ready, and arrived at the Barre Opera House by noon. Stephanie and Errol came along, and Steph was NOT a volunteer, for once. I left the tripod in place yesterday, so all I had to do was put the […]
After the show we all went to Mr. Z’s for dinner. The whole family is so rarely together, so it was really nice to do that. Between last night and tonight I spent $60, which is every cent we have. I had thought my dad would have bought us the pizza last night, but he […]
Poor Stephanie! She got up at 7 AM and went to the radio station with Audrey to do their new Saturday morning show. I stayed home with Olivia and Errol. We didn’t plan well and I had to hustle up to Hardwick with the girls to get some equipment I needed for the show. Hardwick […]
Tonight I videotaped the Dress Rehearsal of the Green Mountain Nutcracker. Audrey has moved up to being a Party Boy, Rat and Baker and Olivia is now a Mouse and Polichenelle. Just now I reviewed the footage and cut a 3:20 clip of just the girls. I had stayed home during the day to give […]
Last night one of the parents came to me and reported that Christine wanted NO jewelry, and that Olivia was refusing to give up her new earrings. Now when we had them pierced, I had timed it so that we were 6 weeks out from Nutcracker. I knew her ears would be healed by now. […]
I’ve been working on the October wedding video this afternoon and evening. It took me a while to get into it, because the first thing up was the introduction of the wedding party, which is a tricky thing to edit. But I started hacking away at it and got it going. I had also tried […]
Spent most of the day with Jerome at the office. I took Audrey with me and she watched a couple of movies. Jerome and I have almost finalized the Business Plan. We read through his edits, which were in the first half, then we edited the second half together. Lastly, we compared ours to the […]
