    Even though it was overcast and rainy all day. I saw some more pretty sweet apartments. The view from this one was my favorite. How great would it be to wake up every day and see the statue of liberty out of your window while you scramble some eggs? Other good stuff: 1. Reagan told…

    I have decided to try my hand at selling/leasing real estate on the side. I have found a nice little niche as an associate broker with a company called Modern Spaces. I really like it so far. I haven’t even met all of the people yet, but they all seem really cool. This morning I…

    Just when we thought winter was really here, snow and all, it looks like we are going to get slammed with rain for the rest of the week. I’m not going to complain about the temperature being a little bit higher. But, come on, it is December. We want a white Christmas, not a wet…

    The real news from this weekend (for us) is about Piper. One of our talented photographer friends came up to Blythedale with us on Saturday morning to take some family photos. Piper was on trache collar the whole time that we were there. We even took it off for a couple of shots. We can…

    You  can’t really tell, in this picture, but we got some snow Saturday night. It didn’t really stick (except to the top of cars). We had a pretty fun little outing with some of our friends. We saw Four Christmases, then hit a diner for some key lime pie. Here are the rest of the…

    Today is a pretty big day, for Piper. Actually, I suppose that it is a pretty big day for us, regarding Piper. I’m not going to go into all of the gritty detail, and I will try very hard not to get ahead of myself. I will tell you the vague details that I have…

    Yes, I stole this picture from the NY Times. I’m sorry. Reagan and I braved the masses gathered in midtown-east last night to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockerfeller center. Our friend Carl has an office that overlooks the plaza from the 5th avenue side. So, he generously commandeered a conference room…

    This music post was inspired by Reagan. She has had a crush on Perry Ferrell (no relation to Will), since she saw a picture of him in an Nieman Marcus ad walking some dalmatians. Perry is, of course, the singer for Jane’s Addiction, then for Porno for Pyros. As you may recall, Dave Navarro, was…

    Ok, I know that I just finished writing about some crap that I read in a magazine. I’m sorry that this is what I’m writing about today. But, you have to check out this article about General David Petraeus. I feel like the majority of the media that I have been reading about the war,…

    I was reading GQ this morning and I read a little blurb about Lil’ Wayne, that confirmed my embarrassment of our country for liking him so much. I feel like it is finally wa(y)ning (waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! like the pun?) now. But, I swear, for a while, there you could not listen to a hiphop station, without…
