You may have noticed the lack of mention of any homemade pie since the move. The reason is part lack of time, and part lack of zeal to uncover the whereabouts of the pie making paraphenalia. For instance, this past Saturday was spent in the office working a customer (they are always right!) issue.

One bit of texture to an otherwise bland day was the sentry waiting me at the building entry. We had seen a pair of wild turkeys in the parking lot earlier in the week, and on Saturday the female was lurking by the revolving door, no doubt looking to take a few spins 'round.

This is not to say there has been no homemade pie at 2300. Fred came for dinner a few weeks ago and brought along a scrumptious blueberry pie he had made. He left us the leftovers, we really ought to get the pie plate back to him.

And I am exercising my pie hole right now with the leftovers of a carmel-apple pie Jen got at Costco. Scoff if you will, but as Jen says, "they do have good desserts there!"

Three years ago, Jen & Jordi were joined in holy matrimony. Spring in New England is predictably unpredictable; we had snow. No big deal, the only blip was seeing the bride, the bridesmaids, and the flower girls limo up to the Hartwell House in their jeans and flannels rather than their wedding finery. Oh, that and a max'd out credit card, and the resulting refusals and apologies. Can't blame that on the weather.

Well, today on their third anniversary, we see the same storm: about an inch of slushy snow. Download clip of today's weather. We take it in stride. At least those of us who are in town; Jen is away in sunny Las Vegas at a conference. I called Jen to tell her the weather news.
