A few random photos lying around on my hard drive have made their way to the blog. First off. my name's Matt and I'm a gum-aholic.  There.  I've admitted it, and that's the first step, although I have no intentions of wanting to cure myself of this addiction.  Somewhere between high school and college I got hooked, and ever since I get a little case of the shakes when I'm down to my last couple pieces. I used to pride myself on how long I could make a piece of gum last, often removing a piece from my mouth at lunch and putting back in afterwards and repeating this at dinner.  And sadly I can count on more than one hand the times I've gone to sleep at night while chewing gum (which I removed to brush my teeth) and woke up in the morning and commenced chewing without missing a beat.  Disturbing in hind sight.  Anyway, Kylie recently restocked me, and so all is right in the world.

Here's a pseudo sneak peek of the kitchen refresh with the stash of gum on the counter

Snapped this next image of a Hyacinth in our front flower bed on the last day of winter with temps in the upper 60's...

... then on the first day of spring we had 4" snow and temps in the low 30's.  Go figure.  It reminded me of a time when I was about 8 years old and I was so honked off because - in my obvious limited understanding of how the weather worked - I was under the assumption that as soon as spring started the weather automatically turned sunny and warm so I could go outside and play, but instead it was snowing on that day.
