    I know it is only the first week of December. But it is already that time of year, where everyone starts publishing the “best of” lists etc.. So, the other night I sat down and put together a less-than-comprehensive little photo book of our 2009 activities. There are 118 images all together. Depending on which…

    Once again, hopefully I won’t get in trouble for posting these. I was ordering the prints for our Christmas cards, yesterday, and decided to get a couple of additional prints made. I had a really hard time deciding. I ended up not going with either of these ones, but I liked them enough  to post.…

    I have been back and forth about the whole Facebook conundrum, several times. You may recall this post. Then, almost a year later, I caved under peer pressure and reactivated my account. I have to admit that some aspects of it have been really pleasant. I’m still not 100% keen on it, though. Possibly still…

    More Bay-area organic hip-hop for you, this week. Brought together by Del tha Funky Homosapien, “Hieroglyphics” first appeared on the scene in the early 1990’s. Though Del is heavily credited as bringing the group together, his vocals are probably not the most prominent in Hiero’s tracks. Del shares the mic well with the whole lot…

    Piper had her fancy pants on, and was dancing around pretty much all weekend. It was really fun being able to see Piper for so many days, this week. It is really amazing how quickly standing has become one of her favorite things to do. She would probably sleep standing up, if she could figure…

    This is the first year, since Piper has been around, that we have been in town for Thanksgiving  weekend. In the past we have spent it in New England with our Boston friends. It was kind of nice, not to be traveling, this year. It was extra nice to be able to see Piper on…

    Ok, for the year anniversary (at least the first LMC post since the 1 year mark, Hehe.), here is Beck. I have been a little bit lackadaisical with the music writing lately because of the whole Brazil thing. Back in the saddle, though. So I figured that I would make it a good one. Beck…

    Reagan has been threatening to get an iPhone for a while now. I have been threatening to leave out network, all together. My contract was about to be up in Feb., but Reagan carried through, on her threat today and bought herself a new iPhone. Since that kind of wrecked my plans to leave the…

    We have been trying, for the last 2 days, to get a decent family pic for our Christmas cards. This has involved dressing up nice, dressing Piper up nice, and lugging numerous props etc. to and from the hospital. Piper has been an extremely good sport about all of it. I really hope that we…

    There was a little soiree last night at La Pomme, in Chelsea for the release of a new Magazine called JM. I was able to break in the 7D at that event. Tyson Beckford made it out. Coco was hosting the event, since she is on the cover of the upcoming issue. The person that…
