Every year on March 11, I am reminded of the band 311. For a period after I graduated from high school, and most of the way through college, they were in my top 3 favorites. My favorite album by them is still Grassroots. My favorite song by them is probably “8:16 A.M.” P-nut is one … Continue reading 311→
I recieved a call this afternoon from Piper’s social worker at Columbia. She said that a bed has become available at Children’s Specialized in New Brunswick NJ. This is very bittersweet news. As always, we are happy that Piper is doing so well and will now have an opportunity to make progress, but at the … Continue reading Piper Moving to New Brunswick on Wed→
Yesterday was the first ever, night race in Moto GP. It was a very exciting race. Pedrosa got off to an early start and finished 3rd. Rossi lead for a while, but seems like his bike is still grossly underpowered. Stoner made his way up to the front of the pack, about half way through … Continue reading Stoner Prevails Again→
Today on my way to work, I was walking to the Vessey street foot-bridge and I happened to pass by this spectacle. So I slowed my pace a bit to snap a quick photo. It is the final staircase that survived the attack at WTC. They have extracted it, and it is all crated up … Continue reading WTC Staircase→
Last Friday, some of Reagan’s friends from her childhood flew in to visit us. I was able to skip out of work a little bit early so that I could go with Reagan to pick them up from the airport. It was pouring rain when Reagan arrived at Financial center with the car, to pick … Continue reading High Energy Weekend→
Well, there you have it. As I sit here at work, counting down the hours until the first GP race of the season (or at least the local broadcast of the first race), it becomes apparent that it may be a repeat of last season. In the pre-2007 seasons, dating back to when he first … Continue reading Stoner off to a Banging Start in ’08→
I am entertained by the way that pop culture has embraced the use of acronyms, initials and text message/instant message slang as part of normal conversation. After repeated exposure to it, it can start to seem normal (scary). Sometimes it takes a parody, like the ones on those old Cingular commercials (where the people are … Continue reading TMI→
Well, it was nice to enjoy a few weeks of relative calmness in the office. It was amazing, leaving when it was still light outside, being able to hang out with Piper, multiple times per week. I was starting to have some semblance of a life, outside of the office. It looks as though those … Continue reading Biz as Usual→
Well, it seems that work has picked up a bit. I almost had a normal day yesterday. There was also a shift in the structure of the firm announced yesterday. Apparently the Corporate group is going to be consolidated. I’m still not 100% sure what that mean for me, but I think that it will … Continue reading Teen Drivers→
For all of you Base58 fans, Steve Mannion has a new blog in which he posts songs (a long with a short blurb about them) beginning in the late 70’s working their way forward. They are mostly from same genre as his Base58 mashup material (electronica type stuff). For those of you who are not … Continue reading Mannion, at it again.→
