Wii elbow

In: About Spencer

One of our wedding gifts was a Nintendo Wii - a very generous gift indeed.  It took a month to get it hooked up, but we finally did so on Friday night.  Well I have to say the Wii can indeed be a pretty good workout.  I awoke yesterday morning a little sore (man I [...]

Looking for a job update

In: About Spencer

You’d think that not having a job would afford me the time to write more often.  It does, I just haven’t written anything.  I have been busy with interviews, but I definitely have had the time and just haven’t written anything.  On the job front, I didn’t get my dream job,  but otherwise things are [...]

My Top 5 cereals of the 70’s

In: About Spencer

Kristen and I were talking about favorite cereals growing up yesterday and of course I had to make a list. I’m a child of the 70’s when sugar wasn’t bad for you. Of course now we know better, but the damage is done. And kids my age enjoyed the damage. So [...]

Substance over style

In: About Spencer

I haven’t written in a few days and it’s not because I haven’t had the time - I currently have plenty of time. About two months ago, with a wedding coming up, I decided to leave my job - that resignation took effect this past Friday.  The company I worked for had become unbearable for [...]

Smell you later

In: About Spencer, Conshohocken

Monday I came home to the wonderful odor of skunk permeating through the house. No big deal. I’ve lived in Conshohocken for 10 years now, and one thing you get used to is the smell of skunks in the fall. Yes, the smell gets into your clothes. Yes, you get complaints [...]

Yes, I cried

In: About Spencer

Well I’m back and better than ever. The past 10 days have been the best 10 days of my life starting, of course, with getting married to Kristen on September 29.
The wedding day was just plain perfect. Not a cloud in the sky, not too warm, not too cool. The wardrobes? [...]

A big day

In: About Spencer

Thanks Grace. Thanks everyone. Just got back from the rehearsal dinner and I didn’t think I could sleep tonight, but I am tired. Can’t wait for tomorrow, but yes, I’m a little nervous about things going well
I won’t be posting much over the next week, if at all (guess why). But [...]

Everything Is Illuminated

In: About Spencer

Since Spencer is a busy man these last remaining days leading up to his wedding day, I have volunteered to guest blog. (I’m Grace, his best [wo]man.) I decided to take this opportunity to do some celebrating and bragging—about what else? Spencer and Kristen!
Spencer is getting married this weekend. He’s a lucky man—Kristen is [...]

About this blog

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.
