Hurricane Irene – Update 2 With Video – The Morning After
The worst of Hurricane Irene passed overnight and during the early hours this morning. This morning at 8:30 am it was raining and a bit windy. It was quiet, except for the sound of the wind. I didn’t see any cars pass by. This is a 13 second video of the rose bush near my [...]
Hurricane Irene – Update 1 With Video – Wet And Windy

Hurricane Irene – And So It Begins
I’m 45 years old and have lived in New Jersey for all of my life save two years. I’ve been here through some big winter storms and some big Noreasters, but this is the first time I recall this much attention being focused on a hurricane headed our way. New Jersey State Governor Chris Christie [...]
The Blizzard Of 2010 Dumped Record Breaking Snow On Me
The town I live in got a record 34 inches of snow. We’re still digging. (See yesterday’s post.) Only one of the trucks is dug out and can be used. I ventured out to the store. Some of the streets in the neighborhood only have one narrow lane cleared. It took me 15 minutes to [...]

Fall Fashion Shopping At Marshalls And TJ Maxx
It may be fall here on the Jersey Shore but the weather has swung wide, from summer warmth to winter cold. Neither CJ nor I were prepared for the winter – CJ because he outgrew a size and me because I’ve lost 80 pounds. I was sent a gift card for both TJ Maxx and [...]
I Can Do Without This Cold
All in all this summer was fairly mild. We had a couple of really hot days but it wasn’t as bad as soon. Now we’ve gone to extreme cold for an October fall day. Northern New Jersey actually had snow a couple of days ago. I broke down and turned the heat on. My parents [...]
The March lion is roaring
