One of the many reasons why I love where I live!
Really Bad Day at Work
Yankees vs. Red Sox
This is going to break Gary’s heart, but I set foot in Yankee Stadium (in full Red Sox gear) on Sunday to see the Red Sox beat the Yankees. It was a great game, Manny hit a homer as soon as we were walking to our seats. The bus picked us up in Portsmouth, NH at 6am and dropped us back off around midnight. Thank God I took the next day off of work!
Flood of 2007
Last year we had the Mother’s Day Flood that caused millions of dollars in damage. This year, it seems we’re having a repeat spring. I will be posting pictures of Dover, NH (where I live) shortly (that is if my cable is back at my house- I currently don’t have internet). Here is Hampton Beach which is 20 minutes south of me along the Atlantic. I guess I should say this where Hampton Beach used to be! YIKES!
A Narrow Escape
We had some crazy weather here in NH on Friday night. Severe thunderstorms paired with winds at 55+ mph didn’t mix well with the repairs being made to Portsmouth’s North Church Steeple. The entire steeple and the scaffolding came crashing down at about 6pm. No one was injured and my car narrowly escaped being completely totaled. Check out the video on this newscast. My car is BEHIND the Jeep that was ruined and next to the black truck.
This Old House… is MINE!
Hello All,
I thought I’d drop a quick note to let everyone know (if my mom hasn’t already) that I recently purchased my first home. Unfortunately, I don’t have a digital camera otherwise I’d post a picture. I may be able to send one to Gary or Larry to post by emailing from my cell phone. I never seem to have much luck with the picture posting thing. The best part, however, is that my new address is as follows:
Shannon Hill
31 Hill Street
Dover, NH 03820
How about that!
Does anyone have knowledge of the now unsupported PageMaker?
I know that PageMaker stinks, but can anyone explain why when I put a .tif file into PageMaker from Photoshop the CMYK gets completely thrown out of whack (a lot of red comes through). The color is fine in Acrobat, but the picture gets distorted. Can anyone give me some advice? I’m attaching the picture.
My Friday- 10 days ago
So we’re supposed to post random things on here, right? With that notion, I thought I’d share how I spent my Friday before last. My friend Dennis and I headed to the beach with our dogs; well, with his dog and my “adopted” dog Floyd. Dennis recently started his own company called Paw IMprints, where he takes pictures of people with their dogs in their natural routines and surroundings (no poses here). When I take care of Floyd, I often bring him to the beach, thus this is where we headed. Here are a few of my favorite shots. I have 33 really great ones to choose from (out of 6 rolls). It was a great New England kind of day (foggy, light drizzle) at the beach!
Oh, there is a great old graveyard (circa 1600) that is located on the way to the beach. It’s a huge piece of property set directly on Little Harbor. People bring their dogs there all of the time to run around and also to jump the head stones… it’s wierd, I know.
To Pod or Not to Pod… that is the question.
Are IPods really the way to go? I was in Best Buy last weekend looking for a set of replacement headphones for Brandon’s IPod Shuffle. The only ones (that were Apple certified and that matched the original ones) were sold with a useless remote control and were priced at $45. I was highly annoyed that I couldn’t find the replacement headphones sold by themselves. It was at this moment when I realized that I had become a victim of marketing. It never even occured to me that there may be other options out there for MP3 players. So, I began to look around. I noticed several on the market and all at significantly lower prices than IPod. So what’s so special about these fruity little devices anyway? Why should I give them my money?
While Larry makes Martinis, Shannon makes Headlines
Larry, that’s not to say that I’m not impressed with your feat. Oh, and watch the thumb comments, eh? 🙂
Since Larry has already made his big headlines in the corporate world, I figure that I should start making mine if I want to retire and make martinis anytime soon! I don’t have the time to post the picture here… well, I’ll give it a shot. But anyway, check out the article in all it’s glory by visiting http://www.seacoastonline.com/news/10232005/business/69484.htm.
Okay, now for the picture thing… here goes nothing.
Yeah, I tried the picture thing and it didn’t work. Oh well, you’ll see it on the website. I hope all is well with everyone! (I fixed it for you – UL)
