What's NEW You Say?

I've turned 43.

I've survived the holidays and the new year.

I made some homemade ravioli (see results evidenced above.)

I've been spending time on Facebook - apparantly I DO have friends, in bite-sized doses (yummy.)

My wife, knowing that this would be just my speed, bought me a "Book Of Ages" that tells who did what at what age - so I can look at people my age and older and realize that I still have a lot I can accomplish - or I can look at people younger and mourn my lack of accomplishment. (I always like the Tom Lehrer gag "When Motzart was my age he had been dead 8 years.")

I have been hosting regular movie nights - where I invite a few guys over and we cook and drink and watch a two hour movie in three hours (what with all the pauses for comments and asides and all.) These are particularly fun because we eat food related to the movie - the first film was Godfather, and we had my famous sausage and pepper sandwiches, the second film was The Quiet Man, and we had Irish Stew and Guinness. (Stew provided by one of the guests, the owner of Celtic Crossing, THE Irish Pub in Memphis TN.)


My wife and daughters make themselves scarce as apparently we are quite obnoxious, though I don't see what she's talking about.

OH - And someone sent me an email telling me what a self absorbed bastard I am (The quote was, referring to my political test below "Not Centrist, But Self Centered Egotist.")

Well, I'll have you know that I am an egoIST not and egoTIST my fine feathered friend.

Now off with you - the rest of you can stay. Come over and see a movie (still deciding on the next theme.)
