I decided to eliminate my movie journal site from my to do list and Will let the Filmerd.com domain expire in May. I am pretty busy with my day job on multiple projects.
Add to that the food blog and my goal to write more it just made sense.
It did not really add much beyond a record of what I have watched and I can just do that over on letterboxd.
A weekend trip to Denver, just the two of us was both fun and prodcutive. We loved the city and are working towards moving there in the near-ish future. We spent the weekend with a realtor looking at various neighborhoods
and figuring out what we like and what's in our budget. She was extremely helpful and we will be working more with her as our move begins to take more shape.
In May we are heading to Boston again. This time for my son's college graduation. Looking forward to that and cannot believe he's already done with school.
Till next time!

What I'm working on...
Right around January I satrted a big overhaul for my food blog, Oven Dried Tomatoes. I moved it from Wordpress to Bluehost so that I can gain a lot more control over its
design and functionality. It was "simple" but not easy at all. After weeks of work and cleanup I think it's looking very good. I am posting regular-ish updates there with recipes and process.
Most recently I posted about making sauerkraut and an excellent Dutch apple pie.
Fun trips...
Visited New Orleans again with some friends. It had been a long time since we have been back. It was great. A lot of good food, good drinks and wonderful music. Also made a trip to a city I've always wanted to visit -
Savannah, Georgia. It met our expectations with how wonderful it was. Kind of like New Orleans but quieter. Beautiful city squares, trees with Spanish moss and fascinating history. We took the time to do a Segway tour with a local guide.
That was a really good idea to see and learn about Savannah, especially its architecture and landmarks.
