Small world. Gary Burghoff is from Bristol. I’ve been many times and there are parts of it I don’t know at all. When you get off I-84 at Exit 31 you make a right (if you’re coming from Hartford) and about the first things you see are ESPN’s antenna farm and the Otis Elevator test building. Turn left if you want to visit Lake Compounce, North America’s oldest continually operating amusement park (sure, some years it was just the one day, but it’s the thought that counts).
To get to the A. Bartlett Giamatti Center you drive on Rt. 229 for what seems like a year until you get to Rt. 6. It’s really much easier from Exit 38, but then you would miss the sights. Good luck to the Fairfield All-Stars.

Adult Swim has Boondocks, The Story of Catcher Freeman and The Color Ruckus. No Mobile Armored Riot Police, instead Bleach movies Memories of Nobody and The DiamondDust Rebellion. I’m not into Bleach so much as I figure I have a large enough obscure Japanese Anime addiction.
I would like to say a few words about Aliens. It rocks.

After goofing off all day, I have a ton of work that has just piled up.
Just finished dinner with my daughter, whom I haven’t seen in two days even though we live in the same house and bot our significant others are not home. Well, it is a big house.
If you need me, you know where to find me. 😉
My husband is watching “The Cowboys” (early 70’s John Wayne movie) for about the millionth time.
I am letting him do it because he said he would wash my car in the am and the weather has been so miserable that it is hot and humid at 0700AM.
