It's huge Tom Park, HUUUUGE!

About Me

I've been out here in CNY far too long, and should be leaving soon. I come from Plattsburgh where there are actually mountains (which I miss A LOT) and before that I grew up in New Hampshire. Before THAT I was a baby that my parents found on the beach in the Azores, Portugal while stationed there with the Air Force. Right now I work with troubled teenagers and am going to school to get my master's in history. When not busy I enjoy spending time with my girl, hanging with the Turk, playing fetch with my cat (no foolin'!) or going on road trips and getting lost. MyGen Profile Generator

Why Do Ghosts Wear Clothes?

I'm just wondering, how come whenever anyone sees a ghost or claims to have a picture of one, the ghosts are wearing period clothing?  Aren't ghosts supposed to be the spirit of the person, wande...

Tony Romo, what an unfortunate name

Poor Tony Romo.  The guy couldn't have a worse name.  Especially after last night's embarrassing screw up that cost his crummy team their season.  I just think it is funny that jus...

Homage a Squeaks

Erin's pet guinea pig died today.  He was a great pal to have around, poking his nose out of his cage all day long, sniffing for some action.  I loved giving him carrots and watching him cho...
