Just another evening in our kitchen with Queen

Fear the ManWolf

and a Happy Halloween to you!

Fear the beard!

As you well know, Red Sox took game 1 of the World Series last night. The bearded excitement is high around our house. Graham has his whole class rooting for the Red Sox including his teacher who is a Yankees fan. Graham has a really wonderful teacher this year who has told her whole family of Yankees fans to root for the Sox because she has a little boy in her class who is a big fan.

Today is picture day at school but we made him leave the beard at home.

Of homes and phones

If you get a random call from an (845) number don't ignore it, it's probably us calling from our new old rotary phone. We recently got cable tv installed after years without it. Part of the package was a land line which we do not want or need. But they gave it to us anyway even though we don't even own a phone. So I went down to the local antique store and bought this beauty. If you email me I'll give you the number but there is no answering machine so if we are not home it will just ring like the good old days.

Last summer we stopped in at the Telephone Museum in Ellsworth Maine which has all sorts of historic telephones, switchboards, etc. and they all work. Graham really got a kick out of calling people on the old phones they have there. He is equally tickled when we use our very own rotary phone to call people.
