A Perfectly Bizarre Week
Saturday, January 12th 2008
The temperature has not gone below freezing for almost a week. I found a mosquito in the kitchen sink the other morning. We had windows open for two days, sans screens and the house smelled like it usually does in May. All the snow has melted, even the deepest pile in the center of the driveway.

The movie however, wasn't as satisfying as I'd been led to believe. Another case of a book, like "The Perfect Storm", that should never have been made into a movie?
So I'm two for three. We watched a Netflix copy of "Rare Birds" on New Year's Eve, a quirky Canadian comedy w...
