    I’m pretty sure that the message this sign is trying to convey, is that the use of Bicycles, Skateboards and Roller Blades, are not permitted beyond the sign. Then again, maybe not. That is a pretty strategically placed trash can. So theoretically, even if the sign means what it says, one could just discard their…

    Saturday, we had lunch in midtown west, at BRGR. The venue is cool. The food was good. The value was not so great. For $9 I want a burger that is at least a pound. The sweet potato fries were also cut a little thin for my liking. We had fun though. Afterward, we met…

    As threatened, the latest version of JKE is now up and running. It can be found here, or at www.jke.jakesnewblog.com. I haven’t been able to get the style sheet to work right in IE 7, but it works fine in IE 8, Mozilla and Chrome. I haven’t tested it in Safari. So if you are…

    When I saw what I was up against today, I decided to work from home. It gave me a chance to go help shovel the sidewalks at our church (first time, for me), which was nice. It was also good to unload the foot and 1/2 of snow from the car, before it turned into…

    After a string of sharing hip-hop and techno, I figured it is time to get back to some rock. I have absolutely loved this band since the first moment that I ever heard them. That’s right, the Pixies. Kind of a weird band to absolutely love, I agree. Frank Black (a UMASS alum), affectionately known…

    We woke up this morning to snow flurries. Not what one hopes for on March 1st. Lucky there was no real accumulation to interfere with our Sunday jaunt into Westchester County, to visit our favorite little star. She was in spectacular form today, wearing her red karate pants. Reagan had her sitting up in the…

    A twitching eyelid has to be one of the most annoying things in the world. It started when I was on the train this morning and has been driving me nuts, since then. I went to this website to try to figure out what I could do about it. Here is what it said: Treating…

    [Liberty Street footbridge that crosses over the West Side Highway. I kind of like it.] One thing about living at the top of a walk-up building, is that I that I always have my daily dose of stairs. As if that weren’t enough, Reagan always coerces me into taking the stairs with her, even when…
