A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The Gig–This past weekend Super Rockstar’s band, SofaKillers played at Cleat’s West. I’ve mentioned Cleat’s East before–so I’ll let you guess which side of town this one is located on. They were great as always, but I got a nice surprise when my man…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Skating. If you are local and don’t already take your kids to Skate City–you should.

I don’t enjoy this at all–mostly, because I’m lousy at it. I feel like I spend hours and hours weeding, raking, planting,…
My son, Morgan’s, favorite place to eat in our home town is a place called “Musashi Japanese Restaurant”. It’s one of those places where the chef cooks all the food in front of you and usually does some sort of show along with it–making a volcano out of a stack of onions, flipping eggs so…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Cooking Class–Morgan asked me to teach him how to make his favorite rice this week.

My two children–like many of yours–are having to endure days and days of state testing at their school right now.
