The cat occasionally digs her claws into the mat we have at our front door.

A few seconds ago she dug a back claw in… And got it stuck. Really stuck. She ran away when I tried to help and the rug came with her.

She was one confused kitty.

It.
Was.
Friggin.
HYSTERICAL!

Is it really 2011? It is. It’s 2011. I can’t believe it. How is that possible? 2011 is so futuristic. So far in the distant future, how can it be here now?

So if it’s 2011… Where is my Effing Flying Car?

In this picture you can see a guitar, an amplifier, Larry’s piano that he asked me to watch while he was renovating his house… and I just haven’t reminded him that I have it now that his renovations are done (yes I did, I can’t lie), and my alto saxophone which is still in it’s case. There’s also the foot switch for the amplifier, the guitar’s case with a couple of stickers on it, and the base of a microphone stand.

The RPM Challenge is coming soon. Gotta get this stuff into working order.

My wife wasn’t home so I had to use my second choice of model… my guitar.

Just goofing around with my camera and photoshop.com again.

Physics is just awesome.

Happy new year to you and yours, dear reader. From your humble narrator, Rob

Why is it called First Night and not Last Night?

It all depends on what time Jen gets home from work, but as of lunch time we were going to go into Boston for a little while at least. Should be fun.

We took Jen out to lunch today. By we I mean the kids and I. We went to an Indian restaurant that we’ve gone to many times before, but this time it just wasn’t that good. I didn’t each much of anything and ended up stopping at McDonalds on the way home from dropping off the kids. Of course I didn’t even touch the fries. Urgh. Money wasting fat boy.

Why is it that whenever I look for links to event schedules for First Night I can never find anything anywhere? Why aren’t boston.com and all of the other Boston news sites linking to the official schedule? Seems silly to me.

For safe keeping, and for anyone interested:

There. You’re welcome.

I told the kids they should try and sleep late this morning. The logic being that if they sleep late in the morning it will be easier for them to make it until midnight to ring in the New Year.

Of course I was up at 4:00am. I had that sore throat yesterday morning but it pretty much went away, leaving me with a good start on a cold. Stuffy head, sinus problems, general worn out feeling.

This morning the sore throat was back. I got out of bed at 4:00 because I had been snoring and keeping Jen awake. She needs to work today and I don’t so I figured I’d sack out on the couch a bit. I couldn’t fall asleep. There might be a nap in my future.

I’ve been sitting on the couch noodling my guitar, waiting for Jen to get up and get ready for work so I can see her off.

I love my wife so much.

Anyway, it’s New Year’s Eve. Could some one tell me exactly where 2010 went? How about 1992-2009 for that matter.

There is talk about a visit to Boston today. It depends on how sick I am, and how late Jen has to work. I think it would be fun, as the weather is supposed to be unseasonably warm tonight. The kids will be at their father’s house tonight so the Mrs and I are pretty much up in the air as to what to do.

Whatever we decide on, it will be perfect in my book because it will be spent with her. Love you, Jenny!

I’m all for decorating with Christmas lights and everything, but I think I draw the line at using them on your pick up truck. How Country & Western cliche can y’all get?
