Three of Six

We've rented our house out for three of the six games! Hoping for one or two more.

we signed

we finally signed our record deal a few weeks ago. we probably won't come out with a new cd for about 8 or 10 months. it all takes a really long time. anyway, i wanted to let you guys know. the label is called Word Records which is a division of Warner Bros. pretty cool.

Happy Anniversary Paul and Lindsay (a day late)!

Congratulations, Paul and Lindsay, on your first year!

the rabbits are taking over....

I went out to weed this morning b/c it's nice & cool out and found what i'm only guessing could be rabbits have devoured all our veggies. no tomato no zuchinni. anyone have a solution?

Book Review: Grace Eventually **

As some of you know, I've been reading Anne Lamott for years so I was excited to see her newest non-fiction work, GRACE EVENTUALLY available at the library. Thanks to many hours of waiting in lines in NYC, I plowed through it fairly quickly. If you've read her previous works, I'd rate this one not nearly as good and entertaining as Traveling Mercies but a whole lot better than Plan B. She's not as creative and I felt like this one was not as cohesive as her former work (as I was reading the acknowledgements at the end of the book, she thanks Salon Magazine for letting her use articles she had written for them as chapters in this book...it shows!) But the good news is that she's still sober, still crazy, and still trying honestly to figure everything out. I heard from a friend that she writes books as if everyone she tells stories about are already dead explaining the tell all direction her writing often takes. I woulnd't recommend this one really to a new anne lamott reader b/c it was boring for me who has read everything that happened in the last 20 years of her life but if you want to know the update....save it for a rainy day.

House for Rent

Thought you guys might be interested in this. Here's the link to our ad to rent out our house for the penn state football games this fall. So far I've gotten five interested parties for the notre dame game, but nothing for any of the others. We're hoping to get at least four of the six games, (which will help while I'm going back to school).
