Happy New Year!

From our family to yours.

Happy Holidays!

It's been a while since there has been anything updated, and just in case there are random checks in on the site I thought I would be the first to wish all of you a tremendous Holiday season! We are looking forward to taking 5 days off over the Christmas holiday to be with family, and nothing beats experiencing the true spirit through the eyes of a child.

One of the fun things we did this season was freaking David (our 6yr old) out when we visited Santa earlier this month. One of our gifts to him (and oddly enough - to me as well... more on that later) were two tickets to see the Broadway production of "Peter Pan" in Philadelphia on December 9th. We wanted to tie it in to Christmas somehow so when we went to visit "Santa" on the 8th, I gave the tickets to Santa beforehand to hand deliver to David when he sat on his lap (is it a concern if the man in the Santa suit thinks you're serving him a summons... AGAIN???). Nonetheless, it worked out really well, and the Santa played it up like a champ. Marcie volunteered to go to the play with David the following day, and that was her little gift to me. Fa la la la la, la la la LAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Hope to hear plans for next summer's camping expedition (HILAIRE!), but in the meantime I wish each of you the best for a fantastic 2008. Enjoy.

Lyrics to "A Few Things the 80's Did Bring"

For those of you who missed some of the finer points of my song at the re-onion, here they are.
Remember they are sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things".


---------------- 1st verse -----------------

Boys with big hair and black Van Halen T-shirts

Girls with jean jackets and matching blue jean skirts

Parachute pants on the kid breakdancing

These are a few things the 80's did bring


Hot Shepard's pie being served to the masses

Jocks dump your books and the Heads all skip classes

Drama Geeks that make you puke when they sing

These are a few things the 80's did bring


When your job bites and your rent's due

And you're feeling sad

Be thankful that "WHAM" was just a passing fad

And then you won't feel so bad

--------------- 2nd verse -----------------

Taking a shower with friends after Gym Class

You get detention for gas that you just passed

Hormones that make you do most anything

These are a few things the 80's did bring


Cheerleaders filled with too much energy

You're in Closed Study cuz you got a "D"

Getting a boner just as the bell rings

These are a few things the 80's did bring


When your job bites and your rent's due

And you want to flee

Remember your face was once filled with acne

And then you won't feel sooooo baaaaaaad



*I couldn't remember - didn't people refer to the smoking area kids as "Heads" which I think was short for "Bone Heads"? I don't think it meant they were dumb - just that they enjoyed smoking "Bones" from time to time.

So this is me now....I know - I'm not quite as muscular as I used to be when we were in school, but at least I still have all my hair.

This is my wife Polly and I just before we robbed an antique store. She is the one with the beard.

This is my whole family. The girl standing in front of me on the far left is my brother Randy's daughter. I don't have any children (or at least that's what I tell my family

This is our favorite place to eat.


Here are some pictures from the super duper space epic we are making called Battle Beyond Belief. I am currently working on it and hope to be done sometime in October.



This was filmed entirely in a large refrigerator that Doug Coldwell uses to store vegetables on his farm in western Mass (no kiddin). He actually is a character in the movie as is Ben Bradford. All of the effects, editing, sound and music are done in my basement.

When I am not working on the show or passed out drunk - I am a freelance artist. I do a lot of boring corporate stuff and every once in a while I get to make funny cartoon pictures for money.

I plan to start selling paintings of pin-up girls I call "Big Bad Beauties" and I will be posting animations and comics of mine on the same site that will host Battle Beyond Belief. The site is CrapMill and this will be fully functional before the year is over.

I will keep everyone posted on the progress (whether you like it or not).

Well - I gotta go get more whiskey....


Urp!

OK OK I'm Finally doing it....

To all of you people who have been on my back.... Here is the damn blog......

After NRHS I went to Bridgewater State for 4 1/2 years. I got sidetracked for a semester as I got accepted to the intership program at Walt Disney World.. What a damn PARTY!!! Mind you it was tough to come home. I finally tore myself away to finish the last year of school. Graduated with a business degree, and went to work at Strawberries. I was fascinated with music for some reason. I was convinced that I was going to work for a record label someday. I went to TONS of concerts, and met lots of rockstars, and eventurally worked my way into human resources. Along the way I met my first husband. He was lots of fun, but after 6 years (Yeah it took me that long) I realized that our lives were going in different directions. (It clued me in after 3 years of trying to have kids when he mentioned that he didn't think he wanted kids).

I had a good career going in HR, and eventually got into the Centrum (now DCU Center). I met my husband now (Rob) and yes after 1 month I found out I was pregnant. (Yes - I was a skank) I never thought I was really going to have a baby - after 3 misscariages, you don't really believe it until you are holding the baby. I couldn't stand to put her in daycare, so I started a home child care business. That was 8 years ago, and I have since had 2 other choldren as well. Rob has a daughter who is from a previous marriage who lives with us -so a total of 4 kids. Don't even get me started on teenagers!!

Being with small children all day long as you can imagine can make you crazy. So to keep me sane - I just make all of you crazy with 10,000 emails every day!!!!!!

For fun....(I know you are wondering) I play softball. I coached a team last year, and hope to coach another team this year.

I'll get pictures up soon - I promise.

Love,

Robin
