Staying Warm

"It's not that cold out there if you wear the right winter gear - you've just got to be prepared"    - Philip

Dig this

For the discriminating Barnhart child, the DOS game Digger provided hours upon hours of entertainment back in the good ol' days of CGA. And the game's soundtrack was burned into my memory . . . I mean, that discriminating child's memory. So imagine my surprise when I learned that this song was not just the soundtrack to Digger, but actually a song called "Popcorn" by a band named Hot Butter.

Does it get any better than that? Well, it does if you want to play Digger online. Enjoy the decline of your productivity.

For the Non-Facebookers...

We have finally escaped from under Dad's oppressive thumb...errr...I mean...it is with great heaviness in our hearts that we announce that our days of living with Dad are over. Here's our new house in pictures!

Breakfast nook. Does this mean I can only eat breakfast here?

I think this stove can probably cook better than I can

The view from our front door

Front porch. Anyone have some porch furniture they're looking to get rid of? : )

Upstairs living room. Eventually the piano will go in the far corner where the floor lamp is

Staying true to both family traditions, we have already made several fires since moving in

Our bedroom

Office/Guest bedroom

The cats made us buy this house because of this bathroom. They claimed they're tired of cleaning themselves and demanded a jacuzzi tub to get the job done

So much room for activities! 

Gas fireplace in the basement

Pool anyone?

Lots o' storage and workspace

Don't Try This At Home

 This is how you look after shoveling/snowblowing snow for about 5-6 hours. Snow and ice literally froze to the hairy stubble on my face. Crazy stuff.
