Weird, it looked like someone else had taken control of zenobia.blogspot.com somehow... in any case, the real zenobia is at http://rebecca.prwdot.org/

hello. For anyone who is interested, today is "One Hand Day" There are only 5 more days till Peter and I tie the knot! But for now, off to work!

2002-09-29T22:29:00.000-04:00

After a bit of a hiatus I have returned. Life is busy, you know? Some things that have been going on... On Saturday Peter and I picked out our Wedding Bands!! They are very very simple yellow gold bands. And we'll have the date inscribed on the inside. Thank you Barmakians! Then we walked throught the "Taste of Boston" on the common... Way too many people and way too little food. Kinda

hello folks. I had to work last Saturday. 8:30 to 1 at the bank. I left shortly after one, stopped for lunch at Taco Bell at the Northshore Mall and then proceeded on to home sweet home in Townsend. As I approached my house I noticed the many, many cars parked out front. This could only mean one thing... Bridal Shower!!!! Horay. My bridesmaids and mom did a lovely job planning and hosting

2002-09-13T22:26:00.000-04:00

Happy friday the 13th. Pretty uneventful day. That's good, I guess. Peter and I just went to see "Stealing Harvard". Interesting flick. I have mixed feelings about the movie, though. I was definately not as grossed out as I thought I would be, considering it was a Tom Green film. Dont' get me wrong there were some nasty parts, but all in all pretty clean. And I found the whole mix of the

I had a lovely time with my parents yesterday. We went to lunch at Panera and then wandered around the mall for a while and bought white wedding shoes. yipee! It was nice to see them. When they left I walked out to Independance Park and walked the beach. It was a very good day for beach combing : very low tide. I saw some interesting things... There was a cute young couple with a teeny

Saturday the 7th... What's new today? Well, I went to my first class at Tufts. It was pretty much what I expected it to be. First day stuff..get your books, fill out information stuff, introductions... That kind of stuff. And one of the profs gave a little lecture about the history of museums and Museum Education. I'm really excited about getting into this stuff. It is going to be a lot of

2002-09-04T16:50:00.000-04:00

hello peanut gallery. It is a lovely September day out there. A little muggy, but not too bad. I, of course, was inside all day and now have very little motivation to go outside and take advantage of it. Boo! On the other hand, I am making Shepherd's pie for dinner tonight. That takes a little get-up-and-go to make... Tomorrow I am starting school at TUFTS. I have to buy pencils and paper

2002-08-31T13:49:00.000-04:00

Happy Saturday. I'd like to thank Mark and Peter for trying to make me feel better. thanks guys! Here's some news. My roomie, Bethany, moved out this morning. The apartment is feeling a bit lonely without her. :( I am, however, looking forward to moving things into her vacated room and putting things just where I want them to be. It is a wicked nice day out today. I have just gotten back

2002-08-27T21:09:00.000-04:00

I am starting to feel lonely again. Despite the fact that there were four comments made on my last blog I feel that the readership of this blog is pathetically low. Hence the low motivation I have to update often. I feel that the four people who I know read this already know most of the info that I put here because I talk to them...therefore making this blog unnecessary. Is there anyone out

2002-08-14T14:13:00.000-04:00

So, I'm working at the drive-up today and this man just drove up in a pickup truck. Along with his depost he included two peppermint candies in the drawer. How sweet!

2002-08-14T09:31:00.000-04:00

< channel Bare Naked Ladies> Broke into my own apartment. This is where I wanna live. Fo'got my keys, rolled up my sleeves...and now I'm in again.< /channel Bare Naked Ladies> That's right. I locked myself out of my house last night...but was able to cat burgle myself back in. I'm going to leave out the specifics because I don't want any of you breaking into my pad, but I can assure you that my

Here's a tidbit for you... It is Fidel Castro's birthday.

2002-08-13T09:28:00.000-04:00

Sometimes I just plain forget to blog :) It's tuesday. I'm in Middleton... there really isn't too much more to report. I watched some of UHF last night and that movie just kills me. I can't believe that I hadn't seen it before this summer! yikes! Yesterday at the main office in Danvers one of our fish was eaten to death by the other ones. pobrecito! Maybe I'll post again later if the mood

2002-08-02T10:12:00.000-04:00

Okeydokey, here goes with the Friday Five 1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from? Mom's side : Italy, Sweden Dad's side: England 2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit? Sweden 3. Which would you least like to visit? Why? I've actually been to England and Italy already so... 4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage? not

2002-07-31T11:12:00.000-04:00

What a beautiful, sunny day. It's hot. I went for a walk on my break down to the Middleton Post Office. On my way there I passed the Library. Out in the Parking lot were a bunch of kids blowing bubbles with these HUGE bubble wands. It made me smile big :) And I was very jealous of them! I'm getting off work early today (YAY!!!) to go to the Doctor (BOO!!) But what can you do? Everyone

2002-07-31T09:22:00.000-04:00

So, this was fun... Take The Ewan McGregor Test!

2002-07-30T09:13:00.000-04:00

Happy Tuesday Folks. Here's a little bit of trivia that I thought you might like. On This day in 1956 - The motto "In God We Trust" was adopted as the United States national motto by President Dwight Eisenhower. The phrase, originally printed on US coins during the Civil War, was adopted as the national motto in part as a response to the growing influence of the Soviet Union around the world.

2002-07-26T10:07:00.000-04:00

Also... For anyone who might be even the slightest bit interested... today happens to be exactly THREE MONTHS until October 26th.

2002-07-26T09:19:00.000-04:00

I seem to remember sometime in the past a girl named Megan wrote in her blog about her feelings on full-serve gas stations. I think that I would like discuss my love/hate relationship with these establishments... When I was a small lass I was fascinated with self-serve gas stations. I loved the smell of gas and it just seemed had this feeling of grown-up-ness about it. I always begged my dad

2002-07-24T11:04:00.000-04:00

Some things I've seen out the Drive-up window today... *a baseball team practicing in a near-by field* which grabbed my curiosity so much that on my break I took a walk out to the field to see them... It looked like a highschool kid coaching a bunch of younger boys. They were doing running and catching drills :) *a rather overweight man...* who got out of his car and proceeded to stick his

2002-07-24T09:57:00.000-04:00

I'm working the drive up window today. I love the drive up. I get to look outside all day. It is much better than only looking at the lobby and out the windows on the other side. Here I get my very own window :) Isn't it nice to talk to a good friend after a long dry spell? I have just been emailing my friend Heather and it just makes me smile to think about her. Tonight my Dad and I are

2002-07-23T13:43:00.000-04:00

Long time, no blog, huh? I make no apologies...I just haven't been here lately :) Let's see. I'm still hanging out with that Peter character...More lately than ever before... We are just having a great time getting ready for the wedding... Auditioning bands and talking about the ceremony and all that other fun stuff :) I've started a new job. I am now a full time teller at Danvers Savings

2002-06-04T21:41:00.000-04:00

Well, there are some big things happening in my life these days. First and foremost: I have moved! From beautiful Townsend, MA to the seaside city of Beverly, MA. My appartment is cute and clean and still fairly empty. Slowly, but surely I am making it habitable :) In other news, Peter and I went to Filene's tonight to start our bridal registry. YIKES! what an ordeal. It might not have

2002-05-28T17:31:00.000-04:00

it's tuesday. i'm sick. but i'm getting better. more when i'm feeling more like myself.

2002-05-20T17:17:00.000-04:00

Things are going well. I am very excited to be engaged to my Peter and we are having a ton of fun talking about our wedding and honeymoon. There's so much to think about and make decisions on. We're loving it, though. Thank you to everyone who has wished us well so far. We really appreciate the kind words. More later :)

2002-05-15T20:31:00.000-04:00

BIG NEWS!! Last night under a beautiful rainbow and an early moon Peter Ryan Wood asked me to be his wife. My answer was of course yes. How could it be anything else? It was perfect. My ring is perfect. And I am very excited. That's about all I can write at this moment. My attention span is very very short today... I'm sure that Peter will have some more words about this subject soon. You

2002-05-06T19:52:00.000-04:00

Okay, okay! To those of you who have chastized me for not posting (and to keep myself off Peter's "lazy lions" list) here it is.... Life has been pretty hectic lately. I have been finishing and submitting my application to Tufts University in Medford, Mass. It is finally in and now all I can do is wait to hear if they want me or not. I also submitted my newest FAFSA form. Those of you in

2002-04-23T20:52:00.000-04:00

Yoga just kicked my butt tonight. I am feeling muscles that I didn't know I had. I guess that's a good thing, though. I think I am going to snuggle into my bed and just relax the night away. Oh. if you are in an area that is not wicked cloudy (like Townsend is right now) there is some kind of planetary allignment that is supposed to be really cool. I saw one the other night and it was

2002-04-21T19:51:00.000-04:00

This is to anyone out there who reads this who may also have read the book, The Red Tent. I am right in the middle of it and am thoroughly intrigued by it. I would love to hear what any of you may have to say about it... from a Christian and a non-Christian point of view. Also, to any of you who haven't read it...Please do. I'm dying to talk about it with someone... I'll give a better

2002-04-21T19:49:00.000-04:00

Sunday again. I'd have to say that God really knew what he was doing when he created the Sabbath. It is so nice to have a day dedicated to relaxing and rejuvinating yourself. Ahhhhhh! But the day I knew would arrive is here. It's true. Since the very first day I sat behind the steering wheel of an automobile I have dreaded this day's coming. And here it is. ok, ok, I know. here it is. I

2002-04-20T11:36:00.000-04:00

It is a lovely Saturday morning here in Massachusetts and I am somewhat pleased and somewhat shocked to report that we here in the Northeast experienced an earthquake early this morning. I was lying here on the top bunk in Bethany's room at Gordon and suddenly it began to shake. I thought it was Bethany rolling over, but it lasted much to long. Turns out it was a 5.1 on the Richter scale. WOW.

2002-04-15T16:16:00.000-04:00

Happy Patriot's Day to those of you in the beautiful state of Massachusetts. Happy Tax day to the rest of you :) Once again I had a lovely weekend... this particular weekend, however, was especially special. I not only got to see Peter, but I got to spend time with my Jennifair from far away New Jersey. Horay! Smack! Yesterday the three of us drove in Mr and Mrs Bresnan's Seabring

2002-04-12T17:04:00.000-04:00

hello. guess what I saw as I was driving today? In a yard on the side of the road there was this huge crow. That's not so spectacular in itself, right? The crazy part is that he had two long french fries hangning out of his mouth!! Ha Ha! Happy Friday!

2002-04-01T19:37:00.000-05:00

Well, since I have joined the gym and am paying for the privalege of using it I have decided that I had better get the most for my money. So today I went and worked out in the gym this afternoon and then went back this evening for an aerobics class. Needless to say, I am a bit tired :)

2002-03-30T20:12:00.000-05:00

It's Saturday. I spent this morning with my Peter having breakfast and running some errands. He left just before lunch for Logan to fly to Columbus, Ohio. The rest of the day was spent with my folks and my brother Corey. nice times. We came back after dinner and Core and I got busy dying easter eggs :) ahhhh tradition!!

2002-03-28T19:42:00.000-05:00

The weather today was so gorgeous! It just made going to work so much easier! I hate those cloudy days. It is almost impossible to get myself out of bed on those days.

2002-03-26T19:16:00.000-05:00

Happy Tuesday! The rain is falling and has been all day. It is good because we desperately need it! yay! Well, today I took a little plunge. I went and joined 'The Power Plant'. Townsend's one and only fitness club. It is pretty small and full of townies, but I think that paying the membership fee will give me the incentive to go there day after day.

2002-03-25T18:53:00.000-05:00

I thought that I would type up a little update on my life plans at the moment... (for anyone who is a little curious) I am loving working at the Tsongas Industrial History Center in Lowell, Mass. There are two glitches, though. 1. the pay. 2. the job technically ends come June 14th. So, I have been activally looking for a more permanent position for after June. The resumes have been going

2002-03-25T18:49:00.000-05:00

A quick thanks to the 3 of you that left me comments! Everyone else...lets go, ok? :-)

2002-03-23T20:26:00.000-05:00

Alrighty folks. I am terribly curious about who exactly reads this little blog. Since I have been successful in getting a commenting feature working here I think that it would be a great way for you to let me know that you're reading this. So, just drop me a little note and leave your name :) I'll get the ball rolling with the first comment, ok?

2002-03-23T19:56:00.000-05:00

Today was such a wonderful day. Nice and sunny and, well, kinda warm...Peter and I went into Boston for the better part of the day. We went to Fanueil Hall for lunch and then we went up into the meeting hall to do a little historical sightseeing. On from there we strolled the back streets of Beacon Hill. Such cute little streets and beautiful old houses and buildings. The day was just right

2002-03-21T17:54:00.000-05:00

Horay! it seems to be working! I'm so proud of myself! :) I worked with some third graders from Tewksbury today. They were so cute and smart and smiley! and POLITE! yay!

2002-03-21T17:47:00.000-05:00

testing the new comment thingy

2002-03-20T16:35:00.000-05:00

Oh the weather outside is frightful...but the fire is so delightful....so as long as you love me so, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!! Happy spring, Happy winter weather! I personally am all in favor of this little tempest!

2002-03-19T18:33:00.000-05:00

plugging right along on the quilt project. I think that it looks quite lovely, if I do say so myself :) I can't believe this beautiful snow we're having here. I absolutely love it! Everything is white and clean looking. I know that it is mid-march, but I'll take snow whenever God chooses to send it!

2002-03-18T18:24:00.000-05:00

'ello. happy monday again. i did try to post since last monday, but blogger has been acting up. Since then I have tripped in a pothole and sprained my ankle... and four days of sitting with it elevated and iced seems to have made it feel better. other than that, life has been pretty normal.

2002-03-11T21:27:00.000-05:00

It's Monday. And everyone's Monday dream came true for me today. I got to stay home from work! :) I played chauffeur for my mom. She has a knee that keeps giving her problems and it makes it hard for her to drive a standard shift car (which is all we have). So I took her to the Doctor and then out to lunch. All in all just a really nice day. Dad and I went down to the church to help paint the

2002-03-08T16:53:00.000-05:00

hi y'all. just trying to put some new things up. be patient with me :) I'm not sure the comment thing works, but I don't have time at the moment to fix it :)

2002-03-07T18:42:00.000-05:00

Hiya folks! Thanks for coming to my very new looking website. :) Hopefully I'll be getting some better stuff back up here soon :)

2002-03-05T20:22:00.000-05:00

happy tuesday.

2002-03-04T18:07:00.000-05:00

Ok. I know it. I haven't posted in forever. There are a few reasons for this. 1. I've been working on this quilt and it is cold in the Sewing Room and so I try to do as much of it as I can before it's dark...and by then I'm not in the mood for blogging. and 2. Lately I've been just plain lazy :) Oh well. I'll try to be a bit better in the coming weeks. I also think I'm gonna try changing

2002-02-12T20:09:00.000-05:00

got to see my gramma Q today. All by myself. It is so rare that she and I are in a room together without anyone else. We just sat around for a while and chated. It was very nice.

2002-02-11T16:37:00.000-05:00

wanna hear a funny story? this morning I was pulled over by an officer of the Tyngsboro Police Department. "Speeding?" you ask. "Why, No." I quickly reply. As it turns out, the rental car that I have been driving for over a month does not have an inspection sticker on the lower right hand corner of the winshield. He was the first police officer that decided it was worth pulling me over

2002-02-07T16:12:00.000-05:00

it is a gorgeous sunny day here today! the snow is just glowing!

2002-02-04T17:59:00.000-05:00

What a nice little weekend. I got to spend it with some of my absolute favorite people.... Jennifer came up from New Jersey on Friday and we went to the Miles River Middle School productin of Guys and Dolls. The kids were soooo darn cute! Then on Saturday the Peter-boy and I hung out, went to the gym and then to Fire and Ice in Harvard Square for dinner. What a cool place! Check out the link!

2002-01-29T18:08:00.000-05:00

Well, it's been a while huh? I've been looking at a little, green Volkeswagon Golf... It's a 95, fourdoor hatchback...oh! and it's a standard transmission...yay! I test drove it yesterday and I like it...so we'll see what happens. Work was great today. I ran a group of fifth graders through the paces in our assembly line...They were cute and smart and funny. It was a lot of fun to be with them

2002-01-21T11:16:00.000-05:00

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! I started enjoying my day off by sleeping till 10:30. wow! I had another wonderful weekend with my Peter. We went to see Blue Man Group on Friday. I had seen it already, but it was so much fun to see Peter watching it :) On Saturday we ran errands...got the brakes on Peter's car fixed, he got a haircut and new glasses...then lunch at Panera, hung around and

2002-01-15T18:07:00.000-05:00

Snow Day! I couldn't believe it when I heard the phone ring this morning at 6:30. Could it really be Tim with blessings of a day off? And yet it was! So I quickly snuggled back into bed and made the most of the morning! Just as long as I don't get too used to it :)

2002-01-11T16:32:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Art Lawry I have been intrigued by the Friday Five... so here goes. The Friday Five 1 What was your first job? Besides babysitting... I worked for Kennedy Gallery on Martha's Vineyard selling art prints to tourists. 2 How old were you when you had your first kiss? 21 3 What was your first car? What hapened to it? A 1986 red Saab 900. His name was OTTO... he was deemed 'undrivable'

2002-01-10T19:10:00.000-05:00

Feliz Cumpleanos! (to me that is...) I have just returned from my annual birthday dinner with Mr Charles Clough. Today he celebrated his 81st birthday and I my 23rd. We had a nice dinner :) An update from the car front... Hedwig, the station wagon, has been deemed, by more than one person, 'totalled'. So that's the bad news... The good news is that the other guy's insurance will have to

2002-01-05T13:27:00.000-05:00

Well, the insurance agent, with a little prodding from good ole dad, came through for me... I am currently driving my rental car. Here's a picture, but keep in mind that mine is black :) It is really fun to drive and everything works on it! I feel kinda snobby driving it, though. Anyhoo, it is a very nice rental.

2002-01-02T18:19:00.000-05:00

Happy New Year! I hope you all had fun ringing in the New Year! Peter and I went to a costume party at a friends house in Beverly. It was quite nice. We spent New Year's day just lazing around...watching the parade..hanging around. Nice.

2001-12-31T09:13:00.000-05:00

much excitement today. I'm going to clean out the stuff in my car so it's nice and clean for the mechanic. Then I'm gonna go down to the Townsend Police Station to see what I have to do to finish off this police report thing. After that I'm headed to the insurance agent to find out how to make a certain sleepy driver pay for all the repairs to Hedwig. I also need to put some finishing touches

2001-12-30T13:10:00.000-05:00

Where to begin... Last night Peter drove me to Lynn to Becky P's apartment where I was to spend the night. I left my lovely car, Hedwig, parked on Central Street in Woburn. I slept fine during the night, but I can not say the same for poor Hedwig. Some kid {details to follow} ran into her!! The whole front right side and wheel are crunched in... The kid must have busted something in his

2001-12-28T08:33:00.000-05:00

Happy Friday, folks. I had a blank template yesterday and couldn't fix anything, but it should look different now :)

2001-12-27T18:43:00.000-05:00

wowzer! it has been a long time since i've posted...i'll try to be better. I'm gonna update some of the side bar stuff right now!

2001-11-28T16:17:00.000-05:00

Let me tell you. 30 forth graders should not be alowed to be in the same room together! That was my group today and they were great, but very tiring! This week after Thanksgiving really should be December. I feel like it is a limbo week. I don't want to be all Christmas excited before December, but there's no celebration for the last week in Thanksgiving. :)

2001-11-27T16:47:00.000-05:00

Going strong into my first full workweek this month :)

2001-11-23T18:19:00.000-05:00

*Phew!* Long day today! This morning round about 4:30am I was roused from my slumber and urged to get dressed. Dad, Corey and I piled into the car and set off towards our destination...Martha's Vineyard. Our mission? To dig a trench to connect our septic tank to the new town septic system. woohoo! We got there around 8:30ish and had our trench finished around noon. We then walked the 3+

2001-11-22T12:57:00.000-05:00

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I hope you all are with those that you love and are taking every advantage to let them know that you love them.

2001-11-21T21:15:00.000-05:00

OK. I'm being brave. I've decieded to let my new website go public. Mainly because it has my list of things I'm greatful for on it. Keep in mind that it is only a partial list.. So, without further delay...Here it is. My Website

2001-11-21T20:39:00.000-05:00

Arg! I am sick of my brother! :-) You'd think that we might get along a little better now that we have hit our twenties... Nice day otherwise.

2001-11-20T17:11:00.000-05:00

I think that Bourne High School 10th grade has won the award for the most obnoxious school group yet! They were scheduled for 6 programs that run from 9:30 to 1:30...They showed up in their four busses at 10 and their nazi teacher declared that they would be leaving at 11:30. YIKES! So, those of us that were working with groups had less than half our normal time to impart to them all our wisdom

2001-11-17T21:01:00.000-05:00

Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, Harry Potter...(to the tune of "we can do it, we can do it, we can help our Cinderelly). That's right folks, I have see the movie and it is good! In my humble opinion here's my list of "thumbs up" and "thumbs down". Ups. Snape. He was amazing! Ron. Adorable Oliver Wood. (see Ron) Quiddich. I'd like to learn to play.

I'm starting to formulate a Christmas list for my folks and extended family. I get to this point every year and I have to say that I absolutely hate it! It always makes me feel greedy and selfish. Like, "since you're going to spend money on me you might as well buy me something I like." YUCK! And I hate when people ask me what I want for Christmas. Still, I understand why it is important.

ARG! My head hurts and my legs are sore and I just ache all over. Crummy Wednesday! In other news...we had a staff developement day today at work. The morning sessions were kinda long and drawn out and not too helpful, but this afternoon was much better. We had a historical architect come and give us a lesson about the mill building we're in. It was really interesting. I think I can even

Sometimes I just can't think of what to write...

Also today... I have added a really cheesy guestbook to this site... I really just want to know who's reading this and what you're thinking and such. So, put aside your feelings about guestbooks and send me a little note. THANKS.

I LOVE GOING TO WORK!!! Today my co-worker, Ollire, and I went to the Harrington School in Chelmsford to do our LILE (Lowell Industrial Living Experience) program with some of the 4th grade classes. Some highlights : **the girl who asked if there was anthrax in the wool that I handed around** the beautiful lunch that Ollire and I ate on the Esplanade next to the Merrimack River**and, last but

Yesterday, that is Monday, Mom, Dad, Jennifair and I went to the Sanders Theater at Harvard University. The Boston Landmarks Orchestra premeired a piece written as a memorial to the September 11th tragedy. Very powerful piece. They also played Bethoveen's 9th Symphony. (yup. all of it!) It was an amazing night and it was all a benefit for an organization called "Woman Waging Peace". There

Two Posts today...Mucho going on. This past weekend Peter and Jeremy and I discovered a little jem in the middle of Lynn, Mass. Lynn Great Woods Reservation. It was a beautiful Park with some great hiking trails. We found the Cache up there and encountered a first for Peter and I. Their names were Ben and Kayla. Another Geocacher and his beautiful 18 month baby girl. Fellow geocachers.

happy Saturday! I was in southern Mass this morning and it was raining cats and dogs out...but here in Woburn now it is nice and sunny :) Peter and I have been doing a little messing around with this site and we seem to have fixed the silly 'narrowing' problem...and I have also installed BlogBack... So, feel free to leave me a message or two. I'd love to know who else reads this!

How much do I love 4th graders?! At work today I was shadowing a program that leaves the Tsongas Center and goes out to schools to present information about the Industrial Revolution. It's called "Farm to Factory" and the kids seemed to love it. I had a great time too. I think that this is really why I wanted to get into the museum scene. This idea of bringing the museum to the schools and

Alrighty. This is a message to the like 3 people who might read this blog and have any knowledge of it. If you scroll down my blog you will notice that the posts get gradually narrower and narrower as you go down the page. WHY? How do i fix it? Any suggestions would be mucho apreciated!

For those of you who are curious... Peter and I saw They Might Be Giants last night. I had a great time. It was loud, smokey, crowded and tons of fun. The nightclub life isn't really our scene, but we managed :)

A typical Monday... Full of it's ups and downs... 1. I have a sore ear...it hurts. {a down} 2. I got to work in the Weave Room {an up} 3. My senior year Yearbook came in the mail! {yay!} 4. My Mass Teacher Exam results came in the mail {boo!} 5. I'm already in my pj's {you make the call} 6. The water table is a bit to low up here on the hill and our house has very little water That means no

This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:' Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day

H2O day. I spent today in the Tsongas Center's water room. The kids built canals and mills and they tested water wheels and turbines...and got plenty wet :) Can't beat that with a stick! And I am such a ding-a-ling... Really, I mean it! I'm headed down to Townsend Congregational to be a substitute bell player in our church's handbell choirs. WooHoo! It's been a while since I have played.

Whew! Today was a day full of fun and exciting things! Peter and I went up this hill in Winchester and discovered not one, but two geocaches. Both were full of stuff and offered beautiful views of the boston skyline and the New England Fall Foliage. We then proceeded to Bill and Bob's Famous Roast Beef for lunch and then back to Woburn. Peter helped me a bit with my html and we tweaked this

Let's see... The nameless car is now fully dressed with its inspection sticker. YAY! Mom and I went out shopping tonight. Building 19 and Walmart! Can't beat those. We did a bit of poking around and only bought a few things. But it was fun to be out.

2001-10-18T17:02:00.000-04:00

Well folks, I went to get an inspection sticker for my car and I was turned down flat by the two garage owners that I approached. One told me that they wouldn't run the emmissions test after 4pm (understandable if it had been after 4...but it was 3:40!!) and the other guy told me to come back first thing in the morning. That helps because I don't have to go to work then! JEEZ!

Hmmmm. Here's a fun little pastime... Geocaching. Peter bought himself a GPS for his birthday and we decided to give it a try this weekend. We went to a cache in Shrewsbury, Ma and spent a half hour poking around in the woods looking for this little metal ammo box. It was a fun way to be outdoors on a Saturday afternoon.
