We were on our way home from taking Thumbelina to the vet* yesterday when I spotted a couple of guys from Gentle Giant on Binney Street in Cambridge in the middle of a move. Rerun was in my lap and I pointed them out to him and we waved in our typical dorky “I have a dachshund in my lap “way. It was then that I was reminded that I’d promised the Gentle Giant folks that I would post these pictures.
Apparently, someone can read Smoky’s mind
Note: this does not make Geoff feel any better about it when Smoky, not pictured, actually does this. At least now we know why.
Someday soon, actual content!

Macy’s just emailed me
They are currently offering 15% off all items in their home sale (10% off electronics) and the place setting we have registered for now includes a free matching soup bowl for a limited time. We also registered for the soup bowl and it costs $95. So, if you’re looking to shop for us for the wedding, this is a pretty good deal. Also, there is free shipping on every $99 purchase. I believe the discount code is REFRESH. Also, there is some sort of Buy 1 Get 1 Free deal on casual and fine china as well, which should, in theory, apply to our registry as well, but I don’t know any more details about that other than that the deal ends on 8/14/11. Check out macys.com for more details.
Happy Shopping,

It’s been a long day
And I needed a good laugh. Then I found this.
Geoff and I have a friend who has an underpants thieving cat. I don’t know if he’d go to the extremes of a drying rack, but it’s amusing to think about. Enjoy.

Ditch digging for the Lord
Yesterday Kelly and I stayed late after our church service in order to help out with some of the yard work. I guess we needed the distraction and it was nice to do something constructive rather than something meaningless. The toughest part (and the part we were specifically asked to do) was preparing an area where a new row of hedges will soon be planted. The head of the property committee (I am a member) asked me to use the rotor tiller we keep at the church to help break up the dry, packed soil. So I did, and Kelly assisted me by raking and shoveling out all of the loose soil.
Not totally out of the woods yet
The family medical emergency has gotten a bit better, at least so far. It looks like the worst part may be over, and that Kelly and I will not have to make any sudden trips anywhere. At least so far.
So everyone that sent their kind words and prayers – thank you, very much.

Family Emergency/How to get in touch with us Part 1 Million
We’re in the middle of a family medical emergency at the moment.
We’re in the middle of a lot of phone calls back and forth. In the middle of it all Geoff’s cell phone has decided that the speaker will no longer work. So, it will accept text messages and send them and it will work with bluetooth devices. We can use it to make calls from the car, which is bluetooth enabled, and he’s currently looking for his bluetooth headset.
If you need to get in touch with us, specifically him, PLEASE call the house or my phone. Email is also good as we’re both hooked up to the internet 24/7 right now and will be for the foreseeable future. Comments here will also be answered in all haste.
Thanks, everyone,
~Kelly
Deep-sea fishing, anyone?
A guy that Kelly and I know from church has a friend who owns a charter fishing boat. I had been thinking that I would much rather do some deep-sea fishing for my bachelor party event than the usual debauchery of some combination of gambling and strippers. That is just not my thing, and so I thought getting out on the water (in November, no less) might be more adventurous and yet less likely to get any of us in trouble with family and/or the law. So I finally had a chance to talk to the captain in question, and he has a magnificent new (2009) 37 foot boat that can handle up to six people fishing at the same time. Feel free to check out his website and see what you think. I am thinking that for the time of year (and the captain agrees with me) that our best bet would be cod and/or haddock, but at that time of year tuna are also in season. So it would sort of depend. Anyway, if we do this it will be on Thursday, November 10 (that’s the Marine Corps birthday for any jarheads out there) so we will have plenty of time to recover before the rehearsal dinner Friday.

She’s got snowflakes in her eyes…
The “she” referenced above? That would be me. About a week and a half ago, maybe two weeks, I noticed that I was getting these odd floaters in the vision in my left eye. Every so often a random black shape would pass through the vision, usually in the center, of my left eye. I thought it odd, but usually I’d shake my head and it would pass.
More Sox!
I’m popping in from headache land to post some more Sox photos from the game on Sunday.
Paps makes his entrance from the bullpen. Gotta love the music.
I like Papelbon, can you tell? The two Sox shirts I have are Big Papi and Papelbon.
Ok, there’s work to be done. More later.
