DIBS–loved the Dirty Franks shoutout yesterday. Was just catching up on my brownstoner reading after being away for a few days. I used to love Dirty Franks and lived right around the corner from it for a while.
Dave, when I had my house, I would’ve gladly paid a neighborhood kid to shovel but none were ever interested. I always wanted to make extra money that way when I was a kid. So I always shoveled myself – and always very early in the morning before it got packed down by people walking on it – and I also shoveled my 90-year-old neighbor’s sidewalk. He came around to liking me and told me to pick figs off his trees and brought my fried squash blossoms in the Summer.
I hope the snow isn’t too bad tomorrow. Our block is having it’s annual progressive party which basically is you start out with soups and salads at one house, move to the next for appetizers, and then on to the last for deserts. Last year was our first year in the home and we had a blast.
Kens, I missed it to! I taped and watched the 9pm one, which was last week’s, but neglected to tape the new episode. hubby and watched it for the first time. we were speechless.
etson, the USB external hard drives are plug & play – ie plug it into USB port, click here & there and DONE!!! the portable ones are only marginally bigger than an iphone and those babies are 500 gig or bigger and they’re under 100 bucks
THL where do you live? i’m jealous

DIBS, plenty of kids on my street shovel for $! the trick is, you have to ask their dads, who make them do it.
dibs, because they get their beer money from their parents. Back in the day….
