Same Time Next Year

My girlfriend, Amie Bossi, is staring in a production of “Same Time Next Year.” This is the last weekend you can catch it, so if you’re in the St. Louis area, head to KurtainKall.org for details.

Here are some photos I took from opening night last weekend:

Chicago and Oregon, IL 2011

My girlfriend and I were invited to a family reunion of sorts in Oregon, IL. Really a birthday party for a special Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Great Aunt, Mother, Aunt. I didn’t know the woman but she patted me on the back as she walked past me and said, “I apologize if I can’t remember everyone here, I’m getting old.” She seemed like a sweet lady.

Before hitting up Oregon, IL for the party on a riverboat, Amie and I decided along with her sister and brother-in-law Angie and Matt to spend a couple days in Chicago.

It just so happened that we were able to catch the unbelievable games 6 and 7 of the World Series where the Cards defeated Texas in a long string of unlikely events.

At any rate, it was one of the most joyful and generally kick-ass weekends I’ve had in a long time.

Here are some of the photos we took.

If you have a moment and enjoy the looks of this recipe, please vote for it–it’s my mother’s and she’s a fabulous chef. I would love to see her get the recognition she deserves.

Thanks!

Ads that bother me

I have no idea if Rosetta Stone is a good product or not. But their commercials I’ve been hearing on Pandora frankly insult me. In the ad, some guy calls in and asks, “What’s the catch?” The lady on the phone says something to the effect of, “No catch! We’re so sure you’ll love Rosetta Stone that we’ll send you a free demo!” And of course the guy is astonished that the company would be so generous as to send him a free demonstration of a product they wish to sell him.

I find myself wanting to scream at the guy, “The catch, you [insert expletive], is that it’s a demo! You have to pay for the product.” It feels the same to me as if he were astonished that an automotive company would send him a free brochure on their new car model.

So I doubt anyone who works for Rosetta Stone is reading this, but if so, your ad sucks and makes me not want to buy your product.
