We were pretty spoiled, this weekend, with visits from some of our good friends. Friday night, our good friends the Truscotts stopped through on their way moving out west. We are really bummed to see them move so far away from us. They have a new baby, which Piper was extremely curious about (above). It … Continue reading Weekend Recap: Piper, etc..→
This week, I earned a B+. I missed a 4 mile run at the beginning of the week. But I almost made up for it, by going extra distance on Thursday, and today. Plus, the 17 and change that I ran today was my furthest run so far, in 2010. I was pretty pleased with … Continue reading Running Evaluation week of 7-10→
This piece was done in Berlin, earlier this year. I saw several different photo-sets of the work. These were my favorite. I borrowed them from the Just.Ekosystem.org blog. The artist is Mentalgassi. You can check out some of his latest work over on the Mentalgassi blog. I’m a total sucker for these perspective pieces. Maybe … Continue reading Street Art o’ the Week: Mentalgassi→
I’ve been feeling a bit un-inspired this week. I would like to blame it on the weather. It has been ultra hot, the last few days. The shot above is looking from my office building, across to Jersey City on Wednesday evening. Super hazy and gross. I kind of wish that I would have had … Continue reading Hazy Days→
Nixon and the Beastie Boys join hands and give us the “Beastie Boys Time Teller P.” I’m eating up all of the cool stuff that I have been seeing from the Bread and Butter show in Berlin. Pardon all of the puns in the preceding sentences. [via]
For the 4th of July, we visited PJ in the morning, then walked across the GW Bridge to NJ, for a picnic at a Revolutionary War site. Above is a shot of Reagan on the GW Bridge, standing beneath the “largest free-flying American flag in the world; 90 feet (27 m) long and 60 feet (18 m) wide, the … Continue reading Fourth of July→
I apologize in advance for including so many photos in a single post. After our Saturday morning run, we trekked out to Coney Island. This was our third (and hopefully final) visit to Coney Island this summer. We rode the Wonder Wheel (we do, every time we go to CI). We also did the Cyclone, … Continue reading Weekend Recap– Saturday→
This week, I earned a B-. I slept in on Thursday and ended up missing a 4 mile run because I also had to work late. Not only that, but my runs at the beginning of the week were really only half hearted. I didn’t push myself at all. I was just kind of going … Continue reading 7-3 Running Evaluation→
I’m not sure why it is, but the three-day-weekends always seem to go the quickest, even with the extended time away from work. Even so, I am pretty excited for the upcoming holiday weekend. Since Monday is a bank holiday, the firm is also closed. We are still trying to finagle Reagan’s work situation for … Continue reading Ready for some extended weekend action→
I have been using the same ghetto “fogless” shaving mirror, basically since I started shaving as a tween. That mirror and I have been through a lot together. But these days, it is so covered in hard water deposits and scratches, that it barely reflects anymore. The fogless mirror is a pretty amazing invention. Who … Continue reading I want this: Mirror+Showerhead→
