Earlier this month, I received an email from my brother Peter about contributing to the La Musica Coolica feature of Jake’s New Blog. He told me that my commentary about music was getting tired, and needed to be refreshed. Hahahaha. He didn’t really tell me that. But he did offer to chime in with some … Continue reading Guest Contributor→
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day (except in Arizona). I think that this guy was pretty amazing. I’m not sure who to credit with this photo. I couldn’t find the author. Who ever it was, well done.
There isn’t much to report from Sunday, on the Piper front. Her doctors decided that it was a good idea to put her back on a paralytic today, because that is the only effective way that they have discovered, so far, to keep her from de-saturating. When she starts to wake up, even a little … Continue reading A room with a view (of rain)→
Piper had a pretty uneventful day, Saturday. Being that she tends to become agitated and de-sat when she is awake, she was kept a bit more sedated. The doctors took another X-ray of her in the evening, which came back almost the same as it was Thursday. Although we would have liked to have had … Continue reading Nothing really new→
An echocardiogram (not sure if that is how it is spelled) revealed that pulmonary hypertension, which Piper has historically suffered from, is not playing a factor in what is going on currently. In other words, the results revealed nothing abnormal with her heart, that the doctor believed wasn’t being caused by her pneumonia. So, that … Continue reading No Pulmonary Hypertension→

She had some blockage in her trache, and was having some bronchial spasms. She was generally in bad … Continue reading PJ Update→
We found out yesterday that Piper hadn’t been feeling too hot, since Monday night. They said that she was having respiratory distress, and would be sending her to Columbia, if she could’t stabilize by 8. We got a call shortly after 7 that she had worsened and that they had some parametics taking her to … Continue reading Piper is not feeling too hot→
I saw all of this ice that was collecting in the north cove marina, from my boss’s window Monday, when I was in his office. I decided to photograph it, Tuesday morning on my way in. The funny part? Apparently I wasn’t the only person I know, taking photos of floating ice in the Hudson.
I know that everyone has seen millions of comical examples of product packaging on products originating from Asian countries. Just the same, I cracked up at this one and couldn’t resist sharing it. A few weeks ago, I ordered this nifty little LCD protector from Ebay, for the back of the 7D. As you can … Continue reading Use Method→
Sorry that I am kind obsessed with bridges, at the moment, because of the book that I’m reading. If you are sick of hearing about them, feel free to change the channel. I’m taking a break from blabbing about the Brooklyn Bridge for a minute to share this outstanding time-lapse video of the Manhattan Bridge. … Continue reading More Bridge P@^n→
