New Jersey Parks to Close?

Friday, May 09, 2008 at 08:15am

Round Valley Reservoir, NJ

I cannot even believe this is a possibility. The State of NJ wants to close nine state parks. NINE. (Central Jerseyans - Round Valley is included in these nine.) I understand there is a budget crisis, but closing some of the only open space in New Jersey, a place where open spaces are far and few between? And potentially introducing the privatization of state parks? Do you really want to go mountain biking at the Coors Light Reservoir? Find out more and get involved here.

Please Send Good Thoughts

I just had to rush Ben to the shelter after he began abnormally crying in pain when picked up, exhibited some breathing difficulties and then fell over on his side. To say that I am in a blind panic is probably an understatement. When kittens do that, it usually means…well, it doesn’t mean anything even remotely good. By the time we got to the shelter, though, he was sitting up again and had stopped panting. Which is obviously very good news. However, he will need to go to the vet to find out what’s wrong with him. We won’t know anything for a few hours at least. Let’s hope he just needs some meds and TLC.

I forget how easily these little creatures can break your heart.

UPDATE: Benny is home now. He has pneumonia. Poor little boo. He’s on meds…let’s hope they work.

Nooooo! Not Tony Marchette!

The drummer from ABBA has died in a freak accident. Like, a REALLY freaky accident. Yikes. I didn’t even know ABBA had a regular drummer. So sad.

The title of this post is what I felt in my lower back yesterday afternoon, as I bent over to put some stuff in a box. I recognized the feeling immediately. Luckily, I still had some anti-inflammatories left over from last time, and I think that helped a bit, although they make me very dizzy. My husband was kind enough to come home from work early and fuss over me, as well. This morning the back is very sore, very stiff, I can’t really bend over or navigate the stairs all that well. But at least I can move. Last night we had plans to go out in Lambertville to an Irish bar, and I was so looking forward to going and snapping some great photos and all. Instead, I spent the night on the couch in the fetal position. Sigh.

Rent to Close

On June 1st, Rent will close on Broadway. It had a great run, even with some of the more asinine stunt-casting in recent years. DREW LACHEY? I was lucky enough to see it when it first opened, with the original cast, and it’s a theater experience I’ll never forget. Read the rest of this entry »
