This Sunday will be the Pramac Grand Prix of China. I have a feeling that this race is going to be crazy. The first free practice session on Thursday started out nuts with a nasty highside by the current points leader, Jorge Lorenzo (seen here being thrown from his Yamaha M1). Luckily he only sustained … Continue reading Get set for a Doozy this Sunday in Shanghai→
I just found out today that my friend from work, who was going to run the half marathon with me, is backing out. He doesn’t feel like he is ready for it yet. Anyway, I am now leaning toward changing my registration, so that I can just run the full 26.2, instead. I just have … Continue reading T minus 2 days until the race in Strong Island→
Once again this morning I woke up to the sound of helicopter rotors before the sun was even out. Some of my local homies know that got so annoyed aobout this problem that I started a website one morning. Anyway, there is an e-petition on there. If you are an NYC or NJ gold coast … Continue reading Thank you, Channel 2 News for the wake up call→
Last night, some of our friends were gracious enough to share their baseball tickets with us. The Yankees were playing the Tigers. It is always nice, when I watch the Yankess play, to go with other people who are also not Yankee fans (especially when they are providing the tickets). I was able to keep … Continue reading Nothing like watching the Yankees get spanked in the Bronx→

Since I was rarely … Continue reading 100th post on Jake’s New Blog→
For those interested, and who do not check what else is new, here are the pictures of Piper last weekend. Here is are some short videos. Both of the ones posted last night are from last weekend.
So, I picked a really good day to start being more positive. It has been pouring rain all day, hahaha. Honestly, I’m not really bothered by it. So I’m not going to complain. I just wanted to illustrate the kind of opposition that I’m up against (yes, that part was a joke). Anyway, Reagan and … Continue reading Nice Weather, for Ducks→
Reagan and I got up bright and early today and met up with the group that is running the LI race next week. We did the loop at central park. It was a beautiful run. The loop is 6.2 miles, according to this trail map, which is great, because we only thought it was 5. … Continue reading C. Park Shenannigans→
I’m getting pretty excited to spend some time outside watching free music this summer. Last year we saw Beastie Boys outside twice (at the C. Park stage and McCarren Park Pool). I have perused through the Central Park Summer Stage lineup for this year, and there are a couple of noteworthy acts. June 14th is … Continue reading Summer = Live Music Outdoors→
