I guess if I'm going to have a cold, it might as well keep snowing...

Our gas grill is almost unrecognizable now!

I haven't posted in awhile, but not too much is new. It's just snow and cold, snow and cold.

For those who have been wondering, I finally got the wedding proofs narrowed down and the prints ordered. What a relief to have that over with! It shouldn't take very long for the order to come in.

Wow--this is awesome! What about the rest?

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — A 140-year-old lobster that was destined to adorn a dinner plate is back in the ocean after a seafood restaurant in New York City granted him a reprieve.

The 20-pound crustacean, named George, was returned to the wild Saturday in a rocky cove in Kennebunkport, less than a mile from the summer home of former President George H.W. Bush.

George was transported to Maine by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which had beseeched City Crab and Seafood to allow the lobster to go free.

The giant lobster had been caught off Newfoundland, Canada, and lived in the restaurant's tank for about 10 days before his release.

As long as George remains in Maine, he won't have to worry about ending his life in a pot of boiling water. Fishermen are barred from keeping lobsters that exceed the state's legal size limit.
