    Reagan and I have been watching the pair of Convicts in our fish tank, flirt and dig for the last couple of weeks. They have emptied all of the substrate from an area of about 1 square foot, in the back corner of the tank. They piled it all up around their little nursery, like…

    I was on the UES today during lunch and I happened to see these dogs. I’m pretty sure that if they ganged up, they could overpower that dude. Just sayin’.

    On Saturday, after it finally stopped raining, I had a chance to get out and snap a few more photos with the new cam. Reagan was doing hair all day, so I took a little walk up the street to Ft. Tryon Park. The rest of the photos are lumped in this album. There is…

    I sat down Sunday night and turned on the TV, totally pumped to watch the 2009 MotoGP season opener, and noticed it was last year’s race showing on the screen. I was really confused until a banner started scrolling across the bottom of the screen, saying that race had been rained out and postponed until…

    The pictures came out a little blurry, which is how everything looked in real life, as well. It was a very wet and cold race. Despite the weather, there was a huge turnout. I was really surprised at the amount of runners that showed. We saw a lot of our friends there. When I finished,…

    I planned to mix it up this week, and break out of the early 90’s electronica stuff. But after adding a few “New Order” songs back in the commuting playlist, I remembered how much I like them. So, I’m sharing one of their songs today. Some interesting things about New Order, are: They used to…

    We had an awesome Easter, so far. Although brisk, the weather is very sunny today. Church was great. The music was inspiring. We were so excited to see Piper, that we skipped the last portion of our church meetings, and booked it up to Westchester. Reagan brought Easter cookies that she had made, for all…

    Of course I had to mess around a bit with the new toy, as soon as I left work today. I’m still learning all of the functions, etc. The last SLR that I had was a hand-me-down from my dad. Everything was analog and I had to duct tape the film door, or else it…
