this is where i live..

Sleepy Hollow is on the east bank of the Hudson River between Tarrytown and Ossining. In 1680, near where the Pocantico River flows into the Hudson, Frederick Philipse built a stone house, a church and other buildings. The church was popularized by Washington Irving in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. The Rockefellers commissioned several works of art to adorn a small chapel in the village known as the Union Church of Pocantico Hills including a cycle of stained-glass windows by Marc Chagall and a rose window by Henri Matisse.

i think i am the only person under the age of 55 that lives in the village.

My bosses just announced that they need to cut costs so they are, among other things, moving the business to their _house_. It doesn't look good for the home team, kids.

Anyone know of any job openings for a developer who knows PHP, SQL ,Perl and can write html in notepad?

If not, does anyone know how one goes about collecting unemployment?

Hahaha... oh well. At least, on the bright side, I won't be blowing lots of money on records any time soon...

Low-income and minority children will soon be able to learn how to play golf, thanks to a new $25,000 program that Montgomery County council members hope will better prepare kids for a world of shmoozing on the links.

They might be hungry, but they will know how to play golf. I'm trying to decide if this is a good idea, or incredibly silly. How many of you play golf? Do you think playing a good round of golf is crucial to worldly succes?
