There has been all this hype, for like 3 days now, about how we were going to be pounded with this massive storm. It is so funny to me the way that every winter, NYC pretends like it has never had a real snow storm before. The local news channels build it all up, like … Continue reading Snowy Night→
Last night we attended a party thrown by our friends Kim and Ryan, in Harlem. It was a lot of fun, because they went ALL OUT. The indoor decorations are well documented over on Kim’s blog, if you want to get a sense of what I’m talking about. But it didn’t stop there. They had … Continue reading More Christmas Festivities→
Reagan and I were so happy that Piper was able to stick around Blythedale for the holidays. Today, she sat on Santa’s lap and he gave her a present. It seemed like she was really pretty interested in the whole event, too. Regan and I arrived kind of early, to get Piper into her Christmas … Continue reading Piper meets Santa→
Today was the day that we were scheduled to be moving Piper to NJ. Yesterday morning I received all of the discharge paperwork via fax. I signed all of it and faxed it back over. I was starting to get mentally geared up for the event. Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from Piper’s social … Continue reading Christmas Miracle→
Reagan and I were volunteering at a race on Saturday, and they had a nice little holiday playlist pumping through the PA speakers. There was this elevator-music sounding song playing, that I suddenly recognized as the melody to Green Day‘s “Holiday.” I laughed and was pretty awesome, all at the same time. Later, I did … Continue reading My Christmas Music Recommendation→
Reagan cut my hair last night. It is a lot shorter that I have had it in a while, but I really like it. Piper had her haircut today, too, since Reagan still had her scissors with her. It was winter haircuts all around. Woo Hoo. On a totally unrelated note. I was looking at … Continue reading Some random crap→
Since this is the 50th post of La Musica Coolica, I decided to do sort of a double feature. The artist for this week is Velvet Underground. I can’t say that I’m a huge fan of Velvet Underground, generally. I feel like Lou Reed kind of rips off Bob Dylan a lot, stylistically. More than … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #50 (VU)→
Reagan and I have been working all year long to gain guaranteed entry to next year’s New York City Marathon. We have been doing the NYRR 9+1 program. We have had all of our races (plus a few extra) finished for quite some time now. But when we got online to sign up to volunteer, … Continue reading Busy Weekend→
With such an anticlimactic Valentino Rossi world championship victory, this year, I almost stopped paying attention to the GP headlines. But, today Vito Ippolito, the president of FIM Confirmed the rumored change in engine specs for 2012. This should make things interesting. You may recall when the bikes changed from the first 4 stroke size … Continue reading GP Bikes going back to the 1 Litre engines for 2012→
