Updates

1. It looks like St. Ambrose will be putting in a dishwasher, a garbage disposal, and finishing off the wood fence in the backyard for me. It is increasing my price by a couple thousand, but it will be nice to have those things done and not have to worry about them once I move in. The new contract will be ratified on Monday morning. We're still all set for a March 31 closing date.

2. Burt's, formerly Rocky Run, has closed in Charles Village. I wish someone would put a good bar there. I liked Rocky Run, but there was always a putrid smell inside it, and it was a little bit pricey. I did not much care for its reincarnation as Burt's; the uniqueness of Rocky Run was swallowed by its new sports bar atmosphere. And the smell remained. I hope something good goes in there.

3. I'm making my way through The Sopranos. It goes slightly slower than I'd like, because I can usually make it through one DVD throughout the week, and mail it in on Thursday or Friday, then have the other two that I burn through in a Friday/Saturday, leaving me with no DVDs on Sunday, nor any until about Tuesday. Maybe I should up my subscription if I've thought about it this much. I only have about six episodes left in the entire series, though. It seems like this 6th season has been more inconsistent than others. Still good though.
