It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Here is another newer show that I'm hooked on. Mark got me interested in it over the summer. Here in Ottawa its on Showcase. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia revolves around four friends who run a bar in the City of Brotherly Love and have to overcome their relentless self-involvement to make their friendship and business work." according to TV.com. It so much more than that, the show is completely politically incorrect and hilarious.
Here are a few random clips from the episode "Dennis and Dee go on welfare". The two siblings end up quitting there jobs and after all kinds of problems end up as "crack addicts"




Finally here is a quick recap of season 1. Season 2 see's the return of Danny DeVito to television and he's a great addition to the cast.

Office Space The Movie

I don't think a lot of people really ever saw Office Space, it came out in 1999 (omg seven years ago already), and grossed about $10 million. It is a warped show with lots of laughs. I think you would call it a cult movie now. It's done fairly well on DVD. If you've seen it here is a funny little clip from youtube.


If your interested here is the original movie trailer. Looks a bit dated already.

60 Days To Christmas

Only 60 shopping days left until Christmas. Keep this video in mind when you start your shopping.

Closing The Cottage

Today was the day that Mark and I closed the cottage for another year. Things went fairly smoothly. All that had to be done was, empty the fridge, put the bedding away, and turn off the water. Other than the hail and rain it was pretty easy. We'll see next spring how well things actually went. It's been three years that we have been taking the water out ourselves and each year we have had some problem to fix. The first year was the worst by far, I missed a small valve on the pump, and when we arrived in the spring the pump had split. I think that we have the proper procedure down pat now.

It was a good summer at Black Lake.
We spent more time there this year than we have ever before. Lot's of our family and friends came by for a visit. Some didn't make it up this year, but we'll fix that next summer. I find that as I'm getting older that I'm spending more and more time at the lake. I will admit that I didn't really like going when I was younger, but now I find sitting by the water is very relaxing. Most of our time off this past summer was spent working around the cottage. We brought the dog up, who loves the water, and this year we brought up the kitten. Who, other than going into heat, seemed to adapt well to the new surroundings.



The cottage has been in my family for about forty years. My Grandmother purchased the property in the mid sixties because she wanted to be near the water. She grew up in England during a time where there was not much greenery to see. When they reached a point where they could afford to by some waterfront property they did. With the help of my Grandfather, Father, and Uncle they put up a cottage. Since then it's been a family cottage. Over the years the cottage it's self has changed and grown along with our family. I have lot's of great memories of summer's spent at the lake with my family. Some of the nicest were simple things like having coco with my Grandmother while watching Lawrence Welk on the little black and white TV, or learning to play double solitaire with my Grandfather.


It's sad to say goodbye to another season at the lake, but there is always next year to look forward too, when we will make many more new memories.

Remains of Victims Found At Ground Zero

It sad to think that after five years remains of victims are still be discovered at ground zero. This incompetence is shameful. With more than forty percent of the victims not having any identifiable remains, one would think that the site would have been completely searched. Maybe if some of the billions of dollars spent on punishing the supposed perpetrators in Iraq had been spent here we would not be talking about this five years later. President Bush should be ashamed. Here are some links to the news stories.

Riley's Mega Post Part II - In Case Of Emergency

I have been on quite a few airplanes over the last few years and I'm one of those people who almost always reads the emergency information in the seat back. These are some very accurate depictions. I thought my mind was in the gutter....thanks Riley glad to see I'm not alone.
