A glimpse into my crazy head

If you want a nice night out in Malden that won't break the bank then try Ristorante Serena

Friday night we wanted to go out for dinner, but didn't want to head towards the city so we decided to try Ristorante Serena. After driving past it many times we decided to just go try it and we were very happy.

We got there around 7pm and there were a good number of folks there. It seems like a place that has a local following. They do take out as well, we saw the local firemen stop in for their pickup. By the time we left at 8:20 the place had filled up and a few tables had turned over.

The things they don't tell you on their website:

There is parking in the back. To get there you turn in to the bank lot.

We did walk by the door and had to double back. They share an entrance with Panda Castle.

I just found out about a program that I think is really cool. MasSAVE Energy Loans There is a program that can qualify you for a 0% APR loan for up to 7 years!!!

If you are planning on doing a home improvement in 2009 that would qualify you might want to call and check it out. The program ends on December 31 2009.

**I have posted to open rather than local so if a non-local has a Mass-friend you can let them know about this**

The maps showing today's cloud cover do not jive with the optimistic report saying today would be partly sunny. It looks as gray today as it has for weeks. Only change is the intensity of the gray out there.

**blah** is what I say.

I am OK with thunder storms. In fact I like them, but they are suppose to be an interruption to a sunny day, not a main feature of a gray day!!

Hill no. 1, oil on birch panel,

15 x 15 inches, 2009

Do you have some folding chairs that I can come borrow for a few weeks? Need to pick them up tomorrow or Wednesday for use on this Thursday and the following Thursday.

Comment here or better yet email me as responding in LJ is hard for me during the day. username at livejournal dot com get do my personal email.

With keeping the speed to 55-65 (mostly highway), and coasting in neutral on the down hills I got my mileage to read 501.7 before the gas light came on :)

I plan to fill up tomorrow to see what I am getting per gallon. My last fill up was 37+ miles/gal and I am expecting in the 40s for this one.

The AFA has created a website with an auto-email submission link for the purpose of letting visitors tell Hallmark Greeting Cards chairman Hall that they will be going to their competitors on the news that Hallmark has created a new line of cards for gay marriages.

Would it just be terrible if a whole bunch of people from the internets used it to tell Hallmark that they supported their decision?

Any one have some electrically conductive tape? I could use about 6-inches and really don't want to have to buy a role.

Well my car in in the shop today.

It has needed rear breaks for a really long time and so I bit the bullet. After my window fiasco the dealer gave me a laundry list of things my car "needed". I supplied that list to my shop and asked them to evaluate what I "needed".....well the good news is the dealer has a very different definition of "need" than my shop does.

I am still going to be out a chunk of change*, but my car will be safe to drive again.

*Not the $2500+ the dealer would have charged me for the "needed" work.
