Notchland Inn - New Hampshire

.....
We have just returned from our trip to New Hampshire for our anniversary. It was a beautiful place and we had a great time. Notchland Inn was an incrediable place and we greatly enjoyed our stay there. We at dinner at the Inn on Friday night. It was a delicous (and for me, safe) 5 course dinner. I was even able to have dessert! Of course breakfast was delicous as well both days. The room was nice too complete with a balcony, sitting area, fireplace and whirlpool. There was also 3 skylights over the bed and was very beautiful when the moon passed over.

The hosts were also great. Very helpful and accomodating. I highly reccomend the Notchland Inn located at Hart's Location, New Hampshire. They also had two Bernese Mountain dogs that were huge. If I didn't want to drive into town, I probably could have saddled one of them up. They take to al lthe guest quickly and even become protective over them.

Saturday we went hiking up Arethusa Falls, an intermediate trail that was made a bit tougher by the snow and slush. Parts that normally had 'steps' were more like ice slides. The waterfall was of course frozen but was very cool to see. Well worth the trip up. That about did us in for the day (took 3-4 hours) so after napping we found a small Mexican cafe and ate supper.

The scenery all around was amazing. Numerous ski resorts were scattered about and were of course crowded with Spring Breakers. The area no doubt must be amazing during fall. We hope to go back then and try a few different activites (more hiking, white water rafting, horseback riding, etc).

To see more pictures, hop on over to Robert's Old Land (which is always available on my side panal under 'Links') and enjoy. My advance apologies for the quality of the photos on my old site. I just checked and they don't show up as crisp as they really are. For family/friends, I will email you some of the pictures if you so wish.











In case the above 'Robert's Old Land' link does not take you directly to this specfic photo album, it's title is "Notchland Inn - New Hampshire".

The Year of Superman

.............
Found a cool website via http://www.bluetights.net/ set up specifically in honor of Superman's big year. Most of you are probably aware of the upcoming "Superman Returns" movie that is being released this summer (June 30). What many of you might not know that a slew of other Superman related material is also coming to a store near you.



This list includes:
"Look! Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman!" - Documentary
"Superman: Brainiac Attacks!" - DVD (an all new animated movie)
"Superboy: Season 1" - DVD... all you hardcore fans should remember this show.
"The Adventures of Superman" - Seasons 3, 4, 5, and 6 (the old black and white series)
"Lois & Clark" - Seasons 2, 3 and 4 (2 is already out, 3 in June and 4 in October)
"Superman: The Animated Series" - Volume 3
"Justice League" The Animated Series" - Season 2
"Smallville" - Season 5 (probably around September)
"Classic Superman Movie Serials" (by Kirk Alyn)
"Supergirl" on DVD
"Superman Returns" - the video game (done by EA - the makers of the Madden franchise)
Before & After


"Superman Returns" toys, books, lunchboxes, trading cards, board games and I am sure many many other items. No doubt Pepsi/Coke, McDonalds/Burger King will be representing.
"Superman Returns" - on DVD (probably around November/December)
Of course the 'new' storyline in the Superman comics following the events of Infinite Crises (YES! I am a nerd. BUT! I am happy and content so who cares).

AND the best of all...

Special Editions of all of the Superman movie series, including the long dreamed "Donner Cut" of Superman II. For those who don't know, Richard Donner directed the original Superman film. He had directed the second film as well, but was let go over (I think) creative differences. What we have seen for years is the good but not great Superman II. For years people have tried to get their hands on this "Donner Cut" version, but now it will be available to all!

So, if you are still reading this I mentioned a cool website at the top of this blog. It is http://www.warnervideo.com/yearofsuperman/ The cool part is the outstanding video that plays upon entering the site titled "The Superman Franchise Trailer". It shows great clips of all the Supermen over the years. Better yet, it plays the trailer for the upcoming "Superman Returns". Though it is kind of small, but you can see the bigger movie trailer at http://supermanreturns.warnerbros.com/trailer.html (or you can select the Superman Returns link on my side bar under 'Links').

It is indeed the year of Superman!

...how can a statement so corny feel so right....

"Satellite Sleuth Closes in on Noah’s Ark Mystery"

.
Interesting article on www.space.com regarding Noah's Ark by Leonard David.

It is always interesting when science helps prove Biblical facts. Mainly since most (note I did not say all) scientist hope to disprove the Bible.

Quick Hits

Things have been busy this last week and will continue to be that way until 9 am tomorrow (which is when I will be finished with my last midterm). And then after my 3 classes Wednesday, Spring Break will officially begin. So, to makes sure that I am not lacking in entertaining my faithful readers, here are a few quick hits.

Reason I don't like....no, LOATHE snakes:

Oscar Musings:
Reese Witherspoon rocks. In my opinion, she is one of the most beautiful (who pales in comparrison to my wife of course) and best actresses in Hollywood. Very glad she won and a bit surprised. Generally actresses/actors who have been in comedic films are subbed by the infamous Academy; People such as Jim Carrey who shined in "The Truman Show" and "Man in the Moon" (and won Golden Globes for at least one if not both) and Robin Williams who was snubbed for years before finally winning for "Good Will Hunting". So, for a girl who played in "Legally Blond", I was impressed that she was even nominated for her first really serious role.

Joaquin Phoenix got jacked. Though to be fair, I have seen neither "Capote" nor "Walk the Line". I am just assuming. I only remember the other guy from "Patch Adams" and some other movie I can't recall. I just know he was in it. And I don't think I liked him in it.

Oh why not...cheers to George Clooney for winning...even though he beat me out in 1997 for sexiest man alive.

Cheers to "Crash" winning Best Movie. It was the only one of the nominated films that I have seen, but it was amazing. I highly recommend it.

Coming Summer 2007, the long awaited sequel to "March of the Penguins":
"Viva la Penguin: The Revolution Begins"


And finally, the greatest truth I learned last night from the Oscars...it sure is hard out here for a pimp. I always thought I was alone in that thought.

Random:
Les Miserables is/was an incredible show. I am greatful to have seen it.

I stink at Texas Hold 'Em, but just enjoy it so dern much.

Finally found Diary Queens in MA. Unfortunately the discovery also turned up the sad horror that the large majorities of DQ out here are strictly ice cream products. They don't know what kind of nachos and chicken finger baskets they are missing.

Ironically, there are plenty of Sonic commercials but not a single Sonic around. Guess they are in with all the big insurance companies who have commercials out here who do not provide coverage in this state. You'd think some one on the marketing board would think, "hey...we could save tons of money in advertising if we didn't run commercials in areas we don't exist in!" But that's just me. I'm nutty that way.

I went through my first automatic car washer today. It was fun. Why was I so tempted to open the sun roof?

Got a new poll up (finally).

Alright, that is all. I need to study.
In the words of my brother (in-law) "More to come..."
