I got there at 3:59….. got the 50 pound bag and got out in less than a minute… now thats true grit !   nite all, nite sam -me   ps.. they say it’s alumina.. but based on the price, it better be pure diamond 🙂 IMG_6295 IMG_6297 18 2013 20 31 New Category Name true grit

I’m at my folks house in Sherborn Ma.. i’m trying to get down here more often to spend time with them. .. Even though its getting harder for my dad to remember things.. he has a great memory for pictures. we spent some time together today goign through a bunch of old picture books. it was really great seeing some of these things.. they brought back all sorts of memories, happy and sad.. for both of us..

Friday night – zombie apocolypse

1 Comment

Just finished watching World War Z with diane an gabe… Nothing like a good zombie apocalypse move to get your day off of work…. Twisted bodies lurching through the halls, expressionless faces, slack jaws, searching for anything living to feed on….. And that was just my building Actually.. There really was something zombie like about the day..four more friends said they were leaving for other jobs… Pretty dark times…

Its no wonder i want to come home and turn on a movie…

As zombie movies go, this was a pretty good one.. Nothing can compare to Shaun of the Dead for me… But this one had all the right elements.. And not much gore. A perfect blend.. Ive gotten much more partial to zombie flicks since i did the reality show. If you been through one apocalypse, you gotta keep getting more. Ive even been interviewed on several zombie blogs.. And even made a zombie 'dream team' once

Its also interestign to note that vermont often factors big in zombie movies.. Soemthign to be proud of there, i suppose

Im feeling a bit zombielike right now.. So im gonna crawl in bed.. More tomorrow..

Night all, Night sam
