    We had a pretty great visit with Piper today. She was on trache collar, pretty much the whole time that we were there. That’s always nice, because she has less secretions, and is more mobile. But for whatever reason, the humidity, or something kept making her choke, which would necessitate suctioning. Since she was finishing…

    These are a couple more shots from the antique store in RI, last weekend. I actually have scheduled them both to post on my daily photo blog, but I though that I would share them on here, as well.

    I totally cracked up, when I saw this photo, last night. Obama busted at a G8 Summit, by a Reuters photographer, scoping out some Brazilian booty. It appears, that the Jr. delegate, Bam is ogling, is an 18 y/o Brazilian who lives just outside of Rio. I say give the guy a break. Under normal…

    Earlier this week, I received a pretty interesting email from Tim Westergren, the founder of Pandora Radio. He starts out writing about how Pandora was able to survive the internet royalty ruling of 2007. Ok, I figured that out. It is 2009 and your site is still up and running. Tim goes on to inform…

    Reagan and I have a terrible habit of eating out at all of the same places, all of the time. We have a couple of “usual” spots in just about every neighborhood. It is a safe approach. We are never disappointed, because we already know what’s on the menu and what’s good. I’m not going…

  • Wheat Paste o’ the day

    Yesterday morning I walked past this really hot Keith Hernandez wheatpaste, stuck to a relay box on West Broadway. I really wanted to shoot it, so I brought my good camera today, and everything. Unfortunately, street art doesn’t last long in the FiDi, and it had already been removed by this morning. So, instead, I’m…

    The DJIA closed in the positive. I had a burrito for dinner. I just found out that my dad and both of my brothers (both of which will be meeting Piper for the first time) are coming to visit next month. NJ hooked us up with a great sunset. Life is pretty good, at the…

    Every once in a while, I start feeling kind of dehydrated. It is usually at that point that I think back and realize that I have had nothing but Diet Coke, to drink for the last several days. Is that bad? I guess it must be, since I start to get dehydrated. I have tried…

  • Hammock is also a verb

    A bit of hammocking, a picnic and maybe a lil’ mini-golf. It is great to see how fired up Reagan can get about some pretty simple activities. I have to agree though. Hammocking is enjoyable.

    Pizzicato five. I can’t really remember how I first came across these guys (or should I say, this woman). I was randomly playing their record the other day though, and apparently Reagan has had one of their songs in her head ever since. The reason that is kind of funny, is because all of the…
