Have a piece of Give-Thanks Pie

11.06.2009 by Susan Getgood //

We love pie all year round. Apple. Cherry. Peach. Pecan. Blueberry. Oh Blueberry. But somehow pie in the fall has a special place in our hearts. Apple. Squash. Pecan. Pumpkin.  PIE!

I love to bake, so messing around with crust is more of a challenge than a nuisance. But, if you are in the Greater Boston area, and love pie but not making them, consider ordering your Thanksgiving pie from Pie in the Sky.

Pie in the Sky is an annual project of Community Servings, a local charity that provides  meals for the critically ill and their families. Pies are donated by local bakers, including some of the area’s best restaurants. Last year, the project raised $380,000.

Pies cost $25.00 each. The deadline for ordering is November 18th, and you can pick up your pie at one of 45 locations in the Greater Boston area on Wednesday November 25th.

Firefly Fan Girl Squee

10.27.2009 by Susan Getgood //


Sneak Peek clip from ABC-TV.

Monday’s episode of Nathan Fillion’s ABC-TV series Castle has the best Firefly fan girl (or boy) squee moment since Adam Baldwin’s rendition of Jaynestown (an easter egg on the Firefly DVDs):

Plus there’s a serious side dish of Buffy-love. All within the first few minutes, so if you don’t want to watch the whole show, you don’t have to, although I highly recommend it. And FYI, the sneak peek clip at the top of this post is NOT the best part.

Castle isn’t the most intellectually challenging crime drama. I can usually figure out “who done it” within the first few commercial breaks. What makes it such fun is the interplay among the characters, and I mean ALL the characters, including the small parts and guest stars. Castle is that rare beast, a true ensemble show.

The other benefit of the squee moment being at the start of the show? It is really easy to watch it over. And over. And over.

Like Firefly.

Quick update

10.21.2009 by Susan Getgood //

For those of you interested in the Africa pictures, I’ve posted a few more days to Flickr but have been woefully pathetic about getting the posts about the trip up on the Roadtrip blog. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up this weekend.

In other news, I just started writing about digital parenting for BlogHer’s Family Connections project. I’ll be posting there once per week for the next six months or so.

I’ll also be contributing regularly to the blog of B2B marcom and PR firm, Attain Marketing, and …. ta-duh … writing my first book. More on those endeavors next week.

So if updates over here get a bit sporadic, please bear with me, and check out one of the other places.
