    The pictures came out a little blurry, which is how everything looked in real life, as well. It was a very wet and cold race. Despite the weather, there was a huge turnout. I was really surprised at the amount of runners that showed. We saw a lot of our friends there. When I finished,…

    I planned to mix it up this week, and break out of the early 90’s electronica stuff. But after adding a few “New Order” songs back in the commuting playlist, I remembered how much I like them. So, I’m sharing one of their songs today. Some interesting things about New Order, are: They used to…

    We had an awesome Easter, so far. Although brisk, the weather is very sunny today. Church was great. The music was inspiring. We were so excited to see Piper, that we skipped the last portion of our church meetings, and booked it up to Westchester. Reagan brought Easter cookies that she had made, for all…

    Of course I had to mess around a bit with the new toy, as soon as I left work today. I’m still learning all of the functions, etc. The last SLR that I had was a hand-me-down from my dad. Everything was analog and I had to duct tape the film door, or else it…

    I’m pretty excited about this purchase that I made this morning. I didn’t end up getting a 50D, like I originally wanted But I think that a 40D will do just fine for now. Thanks everyone who hired me to work on their website, and those who donated to my camera fund. I’m tempted to…

    The other day riding home from work, I was standing in front of this guy. It was one of those things where, I couldn’t help myself from staring. The man was chewing gum in a way that I had never seen it done before. I was able to sneak some incognito footage of it, while…

    I recieved a call from Piper’s social worker today. Barring any unforeseen kinks, Piper will be moving to New Jersey next Wednesday the 15th of April. I have a lot of mixed emotions about this transition. On one hand, we are really going to miss all of the people who we have come to know…

    They say never to trust a day with such clear skies, since September 11, 2001. But look at the weather today. It was already starting to get light when I went out at 6 A.M. this morning to move the car. It was warm enough that I could barely see my breath. I just hope…

    Since the Scotland Homecoming 10k is this weekend, my friend Mike and I had been planning to make kilts for the event, beginning several weeks ago. Well, it finally materialized last night. I left work a little bit early to hit some of the fabric stores downtown. As luck would have it, EVERYTHING was closed…
