According to weather.com, it’s going to reach a high of 82 degrees in Riverdale today. The high is going to be nearly 30 degrees cooler tomorrow…
I caught the season premier of the Sopranos last night and it was a great episode! I really enjoyed it. I also watched the premier of the new HBO series, Big Love, which I also enjoyed. I’ve always liked Bill Paxton and he’s great in this–as are all of the actresses that play his various…
After something like 8 or 9 years of using the same body wash in the shower, today I had to go out and buy a new kind of body wash because the particular kind that I used and liked was discontinued. I knew that this had been coming since last June, and I’d bought up…
It was another warm day today, although overcast for most of the day, and I figured I’d better take advantage of it before it cools off again. Today I spent some time in the backyard. I cleaned up the back porch area (which really needed) it, raking up another 2 or 3 bags of leaves…
After taking a break earlier this afternoon, I went back out and gave my car a thorough washing and waxing–the first time I’ve done this since last spring, I think. The car looks so clean now, it almost shines and even looks kind of new-ish in my eyes, but that’s probably because it had been…

I just finished watching the season finale of Battlestar Galactica and it was pretty good. I’m glad it was renewed for twenty episodes next season. New episodes begin in October.
I finally got around to registering a domain for myself and as of now, that domain is active. My reading website and all future stuff will be available from my domain. I’ve just gotten started on getting the index page put together (sharing the same styles as my blog for consistency) and it’s not complete…
I ran across the street today to pick up something at the bookstore and it was gorgeous out, so I decided to sit outdoors at Pentagon Row at lunchtime and read. It was beautiful. There were lots of people out and about, kids on field trips, shoppers, you name it. And the sun was bright…
