Sisters Are Nice

Jeanne Dunn, my mother (to the far right), has two sisters shown here.. Ellen in the middle, and Ann to the left. When they were little they lived in Arlington, MA on a steep hill called Quincy Street. They each learned how to ride a bike by pushing eachother down the hill with no training wheels. This was with or without the bikerider's consent. Have in mind this hill is at least at a 60 degree angle and narrow. Needless to say they hit alot of cars. Apparently, according to the three, there were alot of screaming, crying, cuts and scrapes during the process.

Hottest Reporter on Tv.. besides me of course..

Susan Hendricks is CNN's weekend news anchor and, I think, the hottest reporter on national tv. Every Saturday when I enter WAGM I am greeted by her lovely face on the LCD screen in the front entrance. She joined the network in 2002 as a fill-in anchor - but I mean, look at this face..its obvious why they promoted her full-time in '05. This woman is not only gorgeous but articulate and well-spoken - she puts the CBS people I have to deal with on the server every night (Sirgany, Mallika, EW AND D'AGATA, ..etc..) to shame! Hendricks is a graduate of ASU and has worked at two other stations before hitting CNN headquarters in Atlanta.

VH1's Christmas Trees: Behind the Pine Needles

You buy them, decorate them, and water them - but whats the real story behind the fragrant Christmas Tree standing in the corner of your living room... Here are some intersting facts -

* The first decorated Christmas Tree was in Riga, Latvia in 1510.
* Christmas trees have been sold commercially within the US since 1850.
* At one point the government banned a Christmas tree decoration- this was tinsel, because it contained lead. Now, it's made of plastic.
* 32.8 million Christmas trees were purchased in the US in 2005.
* Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states including Hawaii
* In 2002, 48% of all Americans had fake Christmas trees - ew.
* Thomas Edison's assistant, Edward Johnson, came up with the idea for electric lights on Xmas trees in 1882.
* Boston's Christmas tree at the Pru has been donated by Nova Scotia in gratitude for the city's help in offering supplies to them when a ship exploded follwing a collision in Halifax, Nova Scotia harbor, that leveled part of the city killing thousands.

A Thanksgiving at the Boudreau's - 1920's.

James Frederich Boudreau - this is my grandfather's name. He was born in 1918, just shy of the end of WWI. Living in Cambridge MA., he grew up with sixteen other siblings, eight of which were hockey-crazy brothers.. Although the Boudreau's were dirt poor, it didn't stop them from going all out for the holiday in there own "special" way. For Thanksgiving Mr. Boudreau would purchase a live turkey two to three weeks in advance and tie it to a pole in the basement. They would feed the bird to fatten it up and eat it on Thanksgiving Thursday. But.. this bird suffered serious abuse from my grandfather and his brothers. Dressing it in limited hockey goalie pads, they would place it in front of a net and shoot pucks at it for hours on end after school. My grandfather said they'd also wrestle it to the ground and beat it up. Now.. I think this is fucking hilarious, but I'm sure whoever reading this is appaulled and now thinks I'm a sick moron. Haha does it make you feel any better that I don't care? Anyways, my grandfather told us this entertaining story at the dinner table one Thanksgiving years ago, and so I thought I'd share it with our bloggers, if we have any anymore since Christina has dropped off the face of the Earth.

Happy Halloween

"They all float! And when you're down here, you'll float too!"

Is this Nostrodamus or a cartoon tv show?

Don't think I'm a sick bitch, I found this rather amusing..

I'm sure everyone remembers this classic episode! My Little Pony Land is under threat of Catrina, the horrible storm-brewing withc that hates the ponies and is going to wreak havoc down on their utopia. She planned on producing flash floods and high winds of over 150 mph to level the pony castle and of course, to kill all the ponies, grundels, and those lousy kids that keep jumping through dimensions from Earth and hanging out with the ponies. Catrina was sure to make some huge ocean waves as well that could reach high enough to catch the flying ponies as well. Unfortunately, Catrina wasn't able to follow-thru with her plan - the ponies offered up the head of their dragon friend, Spike, as a peace offering.

Here Ye Here Ye!

Today I am celebrating because tomorrow I will be reunited with Julia after what seems to have been a lifetime but was probably more like 2 or 3 weeks. I have been in a state of incomprehensible depression as the gaping hole in my heart continues to grow as Julia becomes more and more distant. But alas, she returns to save me from the end. We will, once again, haunt the streets of Boston with evil laughter and horrific shrieks. We will gallivant around like royalty and raise holy hell among those who question our authority. Step down, Boston, cuz Julia and Christina are coming out tomorrrrrrrowwwwww.
