Greetings!
At Home
You Just Never Know What You're Going To Find
March
What is March?
We know that it comes in like a lion and often goes out like a lamb but is it fish or fowl? (Lion and lamb would actually be meat or meat, but you get the point.)
Is it really the start of spring or the last vestige of winter?
What will this March bring - early crocus or eleven inches of powder?
Will it usher in mud season or in keeping with this year's mild winter, result in an explosion of flowers and budding trees?
What promise does March hold?
Maybe that's what we should focus on in this issue of At Home.
Promises made - and kept. At the very least we promise - to try - and make this At Home interesting and enjoyable

 Life would be easy.
It would be a cinch. You'd stay out til dawn. Sleep late. Never worry, not even a little bit. And when you promised to take your significant other to see a great Broadway show at the Bushnell you'd have your trusty banker or vice president of ticket-getting- slip three tickets into your dinner jacket (or favorite purse) on the night of the show. Because you just want to see a show like...Fiddler on the Roof. Of course...that's not quite the case. You work for a living. Ahhhh, but you still know people who know people. People like Aiello and CBS radio. Hence...your chance for three tickets to Tuesday, April 10th performance of Fiddler on the Roof. All you need do is Click here. Let the humming begin! |

Ides of March
Fans of Shakespeare - and we are sure you all must be - know of the famous line, "beware the Ides of March," which a seer spoke to Caesar. Sure enough, Brutus showed up with the mob and put an end to Caesar, but our question is: was Brutus such a bad guy?
Brutus had been close to Caesar but then fought against him. Defeated, he was pardoned by Caesar when he promised his allegiance. Later, he came to believe that Caesar saw himself as either a god - or worse - Royalty. The Romans had no use for Kings. Brutus' uncle Cato had been killed in battle against Caesar and so there is the revenge factor and a further argument that Brutus was merely trying to save the republic from a man he saw as a megalomaniac.
So was Brutus a brute - a front-stabber and a traitor? Or a tragic hero who is a misunderstood Patriot? We admit this is probably not the most compelling question of the day. But then, when was the last time you actually thought about Brutus and Caesar? Right. Last March 15th.

We love baseball.
And now we have fallen in love with a great book that's not so much about baseball but about becoming everything that you can be, even when the odds are stacked against you. We recommend: The Art of Fielding, by Chad Harbach.
As the NY Times said, "If it seems a stretch for a baseball novel to hold truth and beauty and the entire human condition in its mitt, well, "The Art of Fielding" isn't really a baseball novel at all, or not only." Sounds promising. Hope you enjoy it. We'd like your favorite book recommendations. Tell us here.

How often has someone you love said,
"Honey, can you fix that thing?"
OK for replacing that light bulb many of us need virtually no assistance (with the possible exception of turning the ladder, but we digress). But for plumbing and electrical assistance - there really is only one thing to do. Say,
Aiello's experienced professionals can replace leaky toilets or leaky hoses. They can clean out a clogged sink or a clogged drain - all the way out to the street. They can hookup that dishwasher or garbage disposal, install water filtration or softening systems - hey our plumbers can repair or replace that all important sump pump or put in a new tankless gas water heater. And that's just our plumbers.
Our electricians are electrifying. They will swap out your old fuses for a new breaker system. They'll install new outlets on the deck, in the yard, by the pool, or any room in the house. They'll bring power where there was none. They'll dig the trench and hook up your new Kohler standby generator. They'll install a new bathroom fan or install that new ductless split air conditioning system and everything they do - everything we do - is guaranteed 100%.
So next time he or she asks, just promise you'll
call 860.264.1165
and say, "Hello, Aiello."

Have Breakfast With the King!
During the Super Bowl there was an ad from Met Life which featured more than 20 cartoon characters all coming to life to sell...life insurance. Interesting notion. We thought you might find this site fascinating. It features hundreds of different characters who have been the face of breakfast cereals and other foods since 1900! We promise you'll recognize a ton of familiar faces.
From Klondike Pete and Pardner (Nestle's Golden Nuggets) to Colon Blow (Saturday Night Live) and Marky (I want my Maypo!) to Ghostbuster's Slimer (Ralston pushing the envelope) to the beloved Tony the Tiger (as if we had to tell you...) it's all here.
Visit. It's kinda fun.
Sorta.

Did You Know?
Seriously, when was the last time you vacuumed your bathroom fan? One of our great electricians raised that question a few days ago and hardly anyone raised their hand. Why would we? Who vacuums a bathroom fan?
Well, you should. Dust, hair, various aerosol sprays can congeal around the fan's housing. It can collect over a long period, building up and becoming quite dry and eventually...flammable. Add the heat generated by the fan - and often by the light bulb - and you have the potential for a fire. Many attic fires have begun just this way. So...next time you're in cleaning mode - give your fan a quick vacuum. And the next time you're in need of a great electrician give us a call.

While it was 40 degrees and sunny in CT - a car and trees were covered in ice on the shores of Lake Geneva, in Versoix, near Geneva, Switzerland. A cold spell affected large parts of Europe, with temperatures plummeting far below zero. Europeans battled more than a week of extreme weather, with thousands still trapped by snow in remote, mountain villages in the Balkans; hundreds dead after temperatures hit as low as minus 33 Fahrenheit (-36 Celsius); and authorities now facing the prospect of flooding caused by melting snow.

The winner of our Super Sunday Contest was Carolyn White. A Boston student who didn't want the Patriots parading by her dorm - so she selected the Giants!

PS- One last, last thought. Have you checked out our blog? It is sensational. Really. Don't take our word for it. Decide for yourself. Here.
