    Here I am on day three of my acne strike. It is going better than I had hoped, from a self control perspective. Both yesterday and today, when I came into work I opened up the coke drawer, to do my morning routine, which is put 2 or 3 of them in the refrigerator. Instantly…

    Reagan had the day off yesterday. So she decided that it was time to give Piper some pigtails. Pretty darn cute, if you ask me. Here is a link to more pictures of her, last weekend, and yesterday.

    I’m not really sure what the deal is, but for the last couple of weeks, I have been having worse acne than I have ever had in my life! It is not only embarrassing, but it is really just starting to piss me off. Part of the problem is that I sit in front of…

    Piper is still at Columbia. She was supposed to be having a procedure done today which would modify her G-tube into a GJ-tube. The G-tube is the tube that she is fed with. It goes directly into her stomach. She has been having a lot of reflux lately and as a result, her doctors have…

  • Cheap or Expensive Sunglasses?

    Jake

    I have always had fairly photosensitive eyes. Because of this, for me, sunglasses have always been more about function, rather than form. In my life I have gone through dozens of pairs of sunglasses. Along the way, I have found that the cheap gas station glasses have always lasted the longest. Even though I always…

    Stoner was back on his game in the UK on Sunday. He started on pole and led from start to finish. Rossi, who started next to Stoner on the grid, had a bit of a sketchy start, but was able to maneuver back into second position by the first corner, where James Toseland, incidentally crashed.…

    On Saturday, Reagan finally got her wish, and I was able to kill 2 birds with one stone. She has been begging for me to take her to Coney Island forever, and she has been wanting to go to the Mermaid Parade forever. The weather could not have been more pristine, for the event. It…

    Ok, so maybe I wouldn’t go as far as to call this art. Every time I go into this one colleague’s office, there is a sketch of some flowers or rainbows or something in the bottom corner of the whiteboard. I just don’t understand how that is appropriate in the current economic environment. So I…

    At the end of the day on Friday (in the UK), after both free practice sessions, Casey Stoner had noticeably faster times than the other riders. This may not mean a lot, in scheme of qualifying or in the actual race, but it does seem to indicate that Stoner has once again found his groove.…
