According to the Daily Mail , Mel Gibson’s house in Greenwich, Connecticut, just won’t sell (oh, boy, do I really want to do another post about a Greenwich house after the last one caused me so much trouble?). It’s been on the market since 2007, when the price was set at $39.5 million. Two years later, it has been slashed to a paltry $29.75 million. So if you love a good bargain, now’s your chance to snap it up! “Old Mill Farm” was designed and built by the architect Charles Lewis Bow
I must be getting old. It seems only a short while ago, I could get through an airplane flight and a full day of sightseeing and still manage to post a 1000 word essay every night (with pictures!) We just got back from a whirlwind trip to Minneapolis to stand as Godparents and it’s taken me days to put up a post about it. (I’m going to blame technology since the old laptop is moving slow these days and is still trying to upload pictures to Flickr.) My lack of posting doesn’t mean the trip wasn’t
I have been living in Boston for about a year no,w and it was not until two days ago when I had heard about the Mapparium. Located inside The Mary Baker Eddy Library right next to the Christian Science Church on 200 Massachussetts Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts, the Mapparium is something that I need to check out.

John reluctantly boarded his private jet. After a few minutes it took off from Boeing Airfield in Seattle, headed for Zürich, Switzerland. Why must I always go on these business trips? Why can’t someone else go instead? The company doesn’t always need to be represented by the CEO; there are other high level executives that could share the responsibility. John opened up his laptop and started writing an email. After he sent it, he noticed his stomach growling. “Samuel, please have the food brou

It has a line of products to include beautiful jewelry, diamonds, silver gifts and house wares among other quality goods appealing to customers as the company has since its inception.

True, the management had provided two condolence books, lying open beside a tasteful white funerary arrangement in the lobby, in which theatergoers could express their sympathy to the Jackson family (to whom, a sign promised, the books would be sent “in due course”). And a little shrine had been improvised on the steps of the Lyric Theater, with assorted cellophane-wrapped flowers and notes to the famously departed.But the Sunday matin
St. Vincent kicked off P4K’s new performance series (which is shot in a chapel within a Brooklyn graveyard) with tracks from her new album, Actor . Damn, I love this chick, but more importantly how gorgeous is that stained glass window directly behind them? I love the art in churches, although, I know people who are still freaked out by St. Peter’s feet in some images. http://radioexile.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/actorstvincent-120×120.jpg?rand=140892

My cousin Dean is an amazing writer. After all, he’s a former reporter and editor. Today I got this amazing e-mail about libraries. He doesn’t mention the Save Our Libraries campaign. But we all know what it’s all about. Enjoy. Libraries are cool. That’s right, cool. I chose the word carefully. They’re so cool that I’ve been a card-carrying member nearly my whole life. Chances are, you have been, too. Growing up, I can remember riding my bike to the Upper Arlington library on Tremont
