Icy branch

I took this after an ice storm in January. We haven’t gotten as much snow (or ice) this winter, but what we’ve gotten has been pretty exciting – we lost power for almost 2 days during one storm.

Hiding the admin bar

The admin bar in WP 3.1 is really cool, but what if you don’t want it? Individuals can remove it on their Profile pages, but there’s no admin option to remove it globally – unless you count the show_admin_bar filter. Here’s how to use that filter, for instance in your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'show_admin_bar', 'orgten_hide_admin_bar' );

function orgten_hide_admin_bar($showhide) {
$show_admin_bar = false;
return false;
}

From a trip to Long Island a couple of years ago – can’t believe it’s been that long!

1894 Restaurant & Tavern

1894 Restaurant & Tavern

Kensington isn’t exactly packed with great dining spots, but we’ve had a couple of nice early dinners at 1894. The highlights there are the patio, decent beer selection, and friendly service.
