'Back to Old Look'

I removed the Xanga skin I had up, because readers requested a way to look back at older entries (since I started blogging back in 2003).  You can now search for entries by particular dates, or you can click on the Oldest link to go back to my first post.

'Farewell'

It's been swell, folks, but my blog is moving on to bigger and better things.  If you are interested in continuing to read about the ongoings in my boring life, let me know.  Thanks for reading.

Adieu,

Queen Jean

'Congrats'

Big congrats go to our buddy, John, and his new fiancee, Elaine.  We got to meet his little lady a few weeks ago, when they were in NYC for a wedding.  She was graceful and sweet - a great catch!!  Looking forward to having a good reason to go to L.A. next year.

'Inner Harbor, Baltimore'

Oliver's first ride on a carousel...

Lil O loved tasting our banana ice cream - mmmm, lip-smacking goodness...

Having so much fun in Baltimore, he was all smiles with Daddy...

'Two Days of TV'

Ok, the fall TV season has begun!  The season premiere of HIMYM was great - all I hoped for and more.  I kind of liked the show more without Lily in it, though.  I caught the first episode of 'The Class,' which I thought was entertaining enough.  I'll probably keep it on my DVR list, as I miss sitcoms.  I had high hopes for 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,' although I feared I'd be disappointed.  Shouldn't have worried, as it was FANTASTIC.  I loved every minute of it.  And shockingly enough, Amanda Peet didn't bug like she usually does.  I heart Matthew Perry. 

Last night, there is nothing I record, and I somehow got caught up watching 'Dancing With the Stars,' believe it or not.  And wow, Joey Lawrence was so good, I watched his performance three times, I kid not.  I even made Harold watch it when he came home from work late.  And when did Harry Hamlin get so scary looking?  I feared Emmitt Smith would be another Evander Holyfield, but he really impressed me last night.  Much lighter on his feet than I'd expected.  And I know I'm talking way too much about this show, but how happy was I when Mario Lopez got slammed by the judges for not doing a proper quick step?  Ok - done.
