    So much for hoping. I have barely had time to breathe today. I’m not going to complain though. In this market, having work to do, is never a bad thing. We (the state of NY) got a new Senator today, replacing the Hil. I don’t really know much about her. I figure that she can’t…

    Since my sleep schedule has been all out of wack, I have been fighting my alarm in the mornings. This morning was the first time in 2 weeks that I have had to get up early to move the car. I took advantage of the fact that I was awake, and got a lot done…

    I know that this may be a little bit premature, but this morning I was reading about Hayden’s move to Ducati and I really started to get excited. In a pre-season interview, Hayden talked about looking forward to the 2009 season, and having Casey Stoner as a team mate. Hayden also addressed the fact that…

    I think that for most people, part of the appeal of sushi (and possibly food in general) is presentation. I love looking at it. It is so neatly compartmentalized. Depending on what I order, it generally comes packaged very symetrically, as well. For whatever reason, all of those things are very satisfying for me. I’m…

    Yeah, the Wall Street Journal’s business offices are located in a couple of the lower floors of our building. Apparently there were some suspicious letters from Tennessee containing white powder that were delivered here today. It appears that some of the packages were also opened. While it is probably nothing, the 9th-12th floors have been…

    During the Olympics last year, New Balance was running this ad quite a bit. I thought it was pretty clever.   I never thought that I would be that guy on the bench.To be honest, I never even thought that I would even become so attached to the sport. I used to think that it was…

    After all of the hype, the day has finally arrived. Don’t forget to by your historical copy of the gray lady tomorrow. If you don’t make it to the news stand in time, chances are the NY Times will print additional copies for you. Hahahaha.

    Yesterday ended up being a fantastic day for riding. Me and some homies from the neighborhood spent the day at mountain creek, in the Jerz. We had fresh snow from the storm the night before. The sun even made an appearance for about 3 hours. We were having such a great time that we didn’t…

    I have been so excited to go riding tomorrow, that I can’t really stop thinking about it. It will be the first time in 2 seasons. I didn’t go once last year (redundant redundancy). Anyway, some of our friends came over last night and I made everyone watch snowboarding videos for about 3 hours. Everyone…
