As many of you know I love movies. Most of my collection is on VHS! It doesn’t skip and you can fast forward without that annoying red block thing that forces you to read the FBI warning, blah blah blah….

Just picked up “Moonstruck” I forgot how great that was. Cher, Nic Cage, Danny A and more….great cast… great story… maybe it’s just the Italian theme…

Ciao,

First it’s time to WINTERIZE! The car, the house, the garden….

I still have no Halloween costume, except for the naughty nurse. Maybe I’ll be a vampire gypsy zombie!

I have several fundraisers coming up to benefit Spay and Neuter Syracuse aka SANS and I’ll be posting the details soon!

Remember to log on to news10now.com and go to Pet Pointers! I have several great segments coming up on topics ranging from housebreaking tips to pets and pregnancy.

Bring your pets inside on nasty raw days they deserve to be warm too.

Ernie my love puppy!

Halloween

wour — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:29:54 +0000

Well I was going to write about how I am still searching for the perfect Halloween costume, but the weather has caught my attention today…and well it made me realize how unprepared I am for Winter..AAHHHH!!

Things I realized I need for winter:

A new Snowbrush!
A few new (better quality) pairs of gloves…all the “cute” gloves I bought last year are not holding up!
I need to find where I threw my Columbia boots last Spring..Ugg boats are warm but not H20 resistant as I found out today!
and finally a shovel..I know if I don’t have it this winter..I am going to need it (Thank you Murphy’s Law)

Thanks Mother Nature for the warning shot! on a lighter note I can get the ski’s and snowboard out of the basement…woot ; )

Later Days!

What I DID on my vacation…..

wour — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:10:27 +0000

Vacations are a great thing…and for me, my recent one allowed me to pay a visit to one of my favorite places, Indianapolis…specifically, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Hall Of Fame and Museum.

Thought I’d share some photos with all of you….

This is the famous Borg Warner trophy that sits on a rotating platform in the museum…a smaller version of this permanent trophy goes to the winner of each 500…

This car looks like a cross between a car and an airplane…in fact, it’s the Marmon Wasp, and driven by Ray Harroun, it won the first EVER Indy 500 in 1911…this car’s not only notable for being the first Indy winner, but also for having a (for 1911) new invention in automotive technology attached: A rearview mirror (invented by Harroun to get around not having a riding mechanic, as most race cars of the era were two seaters with a mechanic who rode with the driver).

This is one of the infamous ‘turbocars’ owned by Andy Granatelli, who fielded them in 1967/68. This is the 1968 car that like its predecessor the year before, nearly won the race (a small part failure sidelined the car before the finish).

Had one of the ‘turbocars’ or ‘whooshmobiles’ as they were called (because of the sound that they made) won the race, it would have spelled the extinction of the normal engine at the Brickyard.

While I was there, I also paid a visit to the US Nationals drag racing event at O’Reilly Raceway Park. TV does not do Top Fuel and Funny Car dragsters justice, you have to see one of these events in person to appreciate how fast, LOUD, and ground pounding these cars truly are.

This is Ashley Force’s Funny Car (she qualified for final eliminations, daddy John didn’t).

One other picture to share (sorry, I did get to meet him, but didn’t get any shots with him)…from the World Figure 8 Championship…

This is the car that Jesse James of ‘Monster Garage’ fame brought to race…if you want to see his full adventure at the event, watch for his new show to debut on Spike TV in February of 2009.

Later!

What I Didn’t Do on My Summer Vacation

wour — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:19:10 +0000

Crap it’s Labor Day. I saw school supplies on sale already at the local pharmacia and they reminded me of the smell of library paste and number 2 pencils and writing the “what I did this summer” essay on the first day of school. Which made me wonder what I didn’t have time for this summer like a Yankee game, a canoe trip, an Allman Brothers show, skinny-dipping, the meteor showers, Cape Cod or a day at Saratoga. Tonight I will rustle around the back of the ‘fridge for a cold OV and sit outside until the sun goes down and hope that the levees hold in New Orleans….

This, that, and other things…

Been very busy lately what with getting ready for Fireworks Over CNY and all…so my apologies for not blogging lately…

Here now, a collection of random thoughts, listed randomly for your random reading pleasure…

-I’ve spent some time helping to promote the Utica Yard Dogs, the new semipro football team in the area, and I’m glad to see them doing well…for those of you who feel jaded about high priced pro athletes, check these guys out, because they’re playing because they LOVE it, not because of a paycheck…’cause the league they’re in doesn’t pay anyone to play. The web site is www.uticayarddogs.com.

-On a related note, a while back, I helped to announce a Roller Derby contest featuring the Utica Clubbers, the new local team starting up (hoping to have regular games in the fall of the year)…and again, it’s another group of people (women this time) doing something because they love it, not because they get big bucks for it…

-There’s a couple of common threads running through these two groups…people doing something that they love…and doing something that gives the REST of us something to do…so if you have a free Saturday to go check out a Yard Dogs game, GO…and if you see a Roller Derby event featuring our Clubbers doing their thing against a team from, say, Syracuse or Albany…GO…

-Will someone PLEASE, PLEASE stop Kyle Busch from winning races!?!?!? Anyone!?!?!?

-It’s funny how watching the Olympics gets you hooked on sports you’d never consider watching on TV otherwise (water polo, team handball, badminton, kayaking), but the minute they’re over, you forget about them…

Rock on!

Decisions and plans!

So it’s about time for a new pedicure. I was wondering what ya’ll thought about designs vs plain, red vs french? If you know what I’m talking about please let me know.

Tell me what color and design to put on my toes. I know, who cares right?

Just thought I’d ask. Hope your summer is going ok.

I’m getting ready for a trip to New Orleans and am just dreading it now. Sounded good at the time.

Ciao, ox
