    Phew. Today was a big day for Piper (and for us). The move went fairly smooth. There was an issue during transport, that caused her to be in a lot of distress when we initially arrived at the new hospital. We were getting kind of worried for a while, because her heart rate was staying…

    I launched a new blog (yes, another one) where I am posting one photo per day. I have several friends who have already implemented this idea: T. Truscott, Well Shoot, and (oh dear, I just realized that the name of mine is very similar to the next one. Sorry Kendra), Three Sixty-Five. Some of the…

    This is a pretty big week for us. Piper is moving tomorrow. I’m very anxious to see that goes. Reagan and I have both taken the day off work for it. We are hoping that she makes a smooth transition, and that we can leave the new place feeling comfortable about her new environment. In…

    Reagan and I have been watching the pair of Convicts in our fish tank, flirt and dig for the last couple of weeks. They have emptied all of the substrate from an area of about 1 square foot, in the back corner of the tank. They piled it all up around their little nursery, like…

    Question– Dear Jake, Why is it that when I drop things they fall towards my feet?  When I was in space that didn’t happen.  Man I miss space. Name: Armstrong, Neil Answer– Mr. Armstrong, I feel your pain. Unlike you, I have never been to space and had the luxury of having things just float…

    I was on the UES today during lunch and I happened to see these dogs. I’m pretty sure that if they ganged up, they could overpower that dude. Just sayin’.

    On Saturday, after it finally stopped raining, I had a chance to get out and snap a few more photos with the new cam. Reagan was doing hair all day, so I took a little walk up the street to Ft. Tryon Park. The rest of the photos are lumped in this album. There is…

    I sat down Sunday night and turned on the TV, totally pumped to watch the 2009 MotoGP season opener, and noticed it was last year’s race showing on the screen. I was really confused until a banner started scrolling across the bottom of the screen, saying that race had been rained out and postponed until…
