I started going to a card stamping with some girls from work about a year ago and although I'm not artistic in the least bit...it has proven to be a wonderful stress reliever 2. This summer flew by too quickly for me too....had a great vacation in the Carribean right after school got out for my son but then got so busy between working full time and running him to the BMX track and races.....I didn't get to the pool nearly as much as I would like. Looking forward to the "homeboundness" that winter brings where you can snuggle up, read a good book and just relax and recharge for alittle bit. 3. My favorite movie of the summer "new"...was Mama Mia..and old was "Under the Tuscan Sun" 4. I do tend to notice things like that...I watch alot of HGTV and you get tuned into little things like that!

I totally forgot about this post. I have since been back and picked up pizza, Veggie Pizza, not vegan yet, but I have a feeling...Way to be responsive Steve Foley. Maybe someone would like to write a follow up review given the changes. I know a family of four here could go and let us know what they thought. WAY TO GO STEVE FOLEY!!

I think it depends... on the musicians, the venue, your mood. There's no wrong or right. 2. Like Swearingen, I was the last child, and the "oops/afterthought" at that. When I was 8, my older sister bought me a teddy bear because she thought it sad I didn't have anything, but by then, I was too old for a "lovey," I think. 3. Drunk or sober? I've done too many crazy/stupid things. Let's just say that sometimes I think I'm lucky I'm still here. 4. I think this is another one where there's no right or wrong. But I am also way more inwardly focused than most people, so anything is good as long as it's not too jarring. 1. I think it depends… on the musicians, the venue, your mood.

Your input is always appreciated. Many of your concerns have been addressed over the last few months. We try to give the best value we can for families and friends with our menu. Believe me, our margins on our food are very, very slim. As a father of two I understand the value of the dollar. Our pizzas have changed since this post began. Our buffet crusta have been upgraded, we've changed the recipe for our sauce, and we use even more fresh ingrediants. With our new carry out menu (which has a number of unique pizzas ... Chicken Alfredo with Grilled Veggies ... you have to try) our crusts our all hand tossed, additional seasoning in our sauce, and even higher quality ingrediants. These pizzas will also be available for table service staring September 2nd. Stop in and say hi! The decor has been updated, new games have been added, the buffet has expanded, and our staff continues to give great service. Thanks again everyone!

Shake your groove thang. Get down wit yo' bad self. Everybody have fun tonight; everybody Wang Chung (or at least Connie Chung) tonight. You put your left foot in... 2. Being the youngest of three, I got the castoffs...the green suckers (instead of the red or purple), the hand-me-downs ("holes in the knees and frayed hems are in this year") and the least desireable stuffed animals. My sister got the huge teddy bear, my brother a fuzzy pink pig. I got a tiny, emaciated stuffed squirrel. Least that's how I remember it ("Why do I have to sleep with the squirrely all the time?") There is little comfort in a skinny squirrel. 3. Hmmm...in my younger days: collecting all the discarded Christmas trees from our neighborhood and piling them in front of Miss Labuddy's front and back doors. Or opening a Playboy to the centerfold on her porch, rining the doorbell and running (this was prior to all those trees being piled up there, of course). Or throwing bubblebath or Alka Seltzer in the water founatin at the mall. In my older days: I was framed. It was all a big misunderstanding. All done with smoke and mirrors. I demand to see my lawyer. 4. Whitewalls...like the PeeWee Herman flyer on PeeWee's Big Adventure... are cool. White walls make my eyes hurt. 1. Shake your groove thang. Get down wit yo’ bad self.

Luckily, this was in the far north where we tended to do these things in the remote woods or on the beach. One thing: we'd go "tracking" ... which was riding a van on railroad tracks through the endless wilderness (let air out of tires a bit to hug the rails, put 'er in low and let 'er go). We'd climb on the roof of the van and, uh, "sight see" yeah, that's it! 4. Walls are walls. It's everything else that really matters. Scott Holt blazes on stage. Good guy, too.

Go, have fun, do whatever you like. If you look like an ass, I will post photos here. (Absolutely kidding, fear not). 1. If I like the band, I may dance or sing along... (apologies to anyone who attends the Sept 5 Sunspot show.. I will likely sing and dance). I am fascinated by most musician's abilities and have a tendency to sit stupified as I watch their hands. 2. Nope. Nada. 3. Mine are all probably lame. I did take my cat and a human friend on a cross-country road trip once. We got stuck in Reno for 3 days but were too young to get into any trouble. 4. The first thing that I did when we bought the farm was to cover each and every bit of white wall in the house with colored paint. I was a renter for a long time and have always hated white walls.

When I listen to music live, I am filled with a deep deep sense of regret. I often have to cease doing so. 2. I had a ratty old teddy bear as well. It still lives in my basement. Red and white with no eyes. 3. Lots of things, that were far from vanilla. 4. Really, don't feel sad for us white wallers. It brings out the art that resides there. 1.

I have been a homeowner for, let me see, three days now, and job one has been to repaint almost every room. It is great painting over the bland white. For us at least, it is the first step toward making the house feel like ours. 4. I have been a homeowner for, let me see, three days now, and job one has been to repaint almost every room.
