    On gross rainy days like today, I really have to dig deep to get myself motivated. I was looking at the calendar and I realized, only two weeks until we will be on the beach in PR. Hooray for that. I am ready for some warm weather. Another thing that came to mind is that…

    Today, I woke up when my 7:30 alarm went off. Normally this isn’t a big deal. However, today is a “move the car” day. I was parked on a Tuesday side, which means that I had set a calendar entry to wake me up at 7 this morning, so that I could have enough time…

    Happy St. Pattrick’s day, everyone. I think that my favorite part about this holiday is the high school kids that come from Jersey and LI to the parade and and get drunk on the train before they even get to Manhattan. One year, I was on my way to work, so it was before 10…

    It was so nice to go visit Piper today, and get the sense that she is very content. It makes it so much easier to entrust her to the people at her new hostpital when we can tell by her demeanor that she is pretty much loving it there. Reagan dressed her up in an…

    I have this one hung up at work. It was taken last fall at a party where our band played. I was looking at it today while I sat here, and I thought I would share it.

    This morning Reagan and I had the privilege of attending a funeral mass for Mikey Dryer. Mikey was one of Piper’s crib mates at the Columbia NICU. Reagan became fairly close with Mikey’s mother Patty. We even donated Piper’s little chiffarobe to Mikey when Piper left the NICU. It was a very somber event, even…

    Piper, safe and sound in her new crib at Chidlren’s Specialized. Reagan did a great job yesterday of making sure that Piper made it to her new location without incident. She has a very large aversion to paperwork and things of that nature, but yesterday was able to tackle all of it without breaking stride.…

    I wasn’t able to accompany Piper during her move today, because of a transaction going on at work today. Reagan has informed me that it went well though. I will make sure to get the details and put them up later.

    It is official. Piper’s social worker just called me and Piper is scheduled to move at 9 A.M. tomorrow morning. We will try to set up a get-together at Piper’s crib tonight (after card club) to see her off in style. Thanks to all of those who have contributed so much, to the progress that…
