This pretty much sums up all I know about cats... and engineers.

ECAC Men's Hockey, Coaches vs. Cancer and American Cancer Society teamed up for a cancer awareness program called Pink at the Rink. The players wore these special jersey's and used pink sticks. They the sold the game used equipment as a fund raiser. We have #31 Corey Milan starting goalie and #15 Mario Valerie-Trabucco the teams '08-'09 scoring leader. All the ECAC teams participated. There is a room at Kate's work full of jersey's and hockey sticks.

I'm not sure Paul still dresses himself.

After a 100 mile last snowmobile ride last Sunday (Naples, Waterford, Lovell, Freyburg, Denmark, and back to Naples) its starting to seem like spring. This morning we had a traditional Maine Maple Sunday visit to Cabane A Sucre Bergeron, Hebron, Maine. Jonathan approved of hot syrup on snow.


This grouse has been following us around the yard for the last few days.

A friend of mine from high school is a teacher in Utica. He is writing a book? story? He posts each chapter as it is completed on his blog. ctavis.blogspot.com. You can see his bio there as well.

Joel requested a side view. We went to the Rotterdam mall on saturday for the Fonda speedway pre-season stock car show. Oliver and Cameron met Jack Johnson. Oliver sat in a racing go-kart. . .and it fit just right.

International Lonestar. Check your mirrors Rubber Duck, the Snowman is back.

Celebrate the Ides of March and maple tapping time. The weather is just right.

Oliver was eager to try the new snowmobile today in 2" of wet snow. We also worked ont he table for the Lionel trains.

We got a new red couch for our apartment despite Philip's concern that an average sized couch would leave no room for his trains.

It turns out there is room for a new couch AND Philip's train set. And as Philip accurately observed while eating beet salad on the new red couch: red is the perfect color because you can eat things like beets and drink red wine on a red couch without the fear of making an obvious stain! The added bonus is that we now have somewhere for people to sit when they come visit. -Rachel

Oliver's new 2006 Arctic cat F120. He is very very very excited. It was a surprise. Not to leave Cameron out she sat on the Swinger in the basement for a photo.
