Because it has been awhile. Here is an old video and some new pictures.

This is what you get when you are trying to eat on the couch and won’t let Eli near you.

But it may not have been enough. Brown has a double digit lead according to exit polls.
I was listed under my married name for those playing along at home.
I do have a fear that I will not be able to vote because of my name change. I have my passport which is still under my maiden name so I could use that as back up.
So this upcoming Tuesday (January 19) is the special election to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat. And I am less than thrilled with my options: Martha Coakley and Scott Brown. But in the end, I cannot have Ted Kennedy’s seat go to a Republican. I just can’t. But I really don’t like Martha Coakley – she is blah.
But the amount of money being pumped into this election is insane. Seriously ads are everywhere. It is not uncommon to watch TV and see pro-Brown, followed by an anti-Coakley, followed by another anti-Coakley and then pro-Coakley, and an anti-Brown. It is crazy. In fact, there is a robocall message being left on my phone right now about the election. It is everywhere. And I bet Obama is pissed that the DNC let it get this close and he had to come up to Mass to stump for Coakley. He probably had better plans for a Sunday then to come up here.
At least the Cowboys are out of the playoffs. Next hope is the Jets lose. Then Brown loses.
I am headed back to Switzerland January 23rd and this time in style. Yup, business class. I am arriving a day earlier to make it more economical but that is okay. I am so excited to get a choice of movies!
So we made it through a blustery, snowy night at Fenway. It was a ton of fun, even if BC lost. But when you have a two-man advantage for 2 minutes and get ZERO shots on goal, you kind of deserve to lose. Not only was the cold not that bad (we prepared) but the snow made it very picturesque and everyone was very friendly. Because of how it was set up, we stood up the whole time but it didn’t seem that bad.

Us at the game
We have been in a movie-zone lately and here is the run down of what we have seen this week.
1. Orphan: big thumbs down
2. Sherlock Holmes: Overall not bad, a little too much action from Holmes in my opinion and I don’t like set ups for the next movie but still a good time. While I love the popcorn at the Somerville Theater the heat needs to be turned up just a tad.
3. The Strangers: Scary but in the end, no real story.
4. Paper Heart: eh, funny at times but slow moving.
Brendan may disagree with my summation but I don’t.
Alett and Hugh are in chilly Florida for the Disney Marathon weekend. Saturday is the half-marathon and you get a Donald Duck medal when you finish. Sunday is the full marathon and you get a Mickey Mouse Medal if you finish. But if you finish BOTH you get a Goofy medal for the Goofy challenge (which is what they are doing). ‘Cause only a goof would run a half-marathon one day and a full marathon the next. So “Good luck” and you are entitled to unlimited cupcakes after Sunday.
Alett and Hugh are known to be crazy when it comes to running as seen here.
For Friday. It says only an inch of accumulation. I hope it is not bitter cold. What were we thinking going to watch a night game outside. Crazy. Just plain crazy.
