Reagan and I were so happy that Piper was able to stick around Blythedale for the holidays. Today, she sat on Santa’s lap and he gave her a present. It seemed like she was really pretty interested in the whole event, too. Regan and I arrived kind of early, to get Piper into her Christmas … Continue reading Piper meets Santa→
Today was the day that we were scheduled to be moving Piper to NJ. Yesterday morning I received all of the discharge paperwork via fax. I signed all of it and faxed it back over. I was starting to get mentally geared up for the event. Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from Piper’s social … Continue reading Christmas Miracle→
Reagan cut my hair last night. It is a lot shorter that I have had it in a while, but I really like it. Piper had her haircut today, too, since Reagan still had her scissors with her. It was winter haircuts all around. Woo Hoo. On a totally unrelated note. I was looking at … Continue reading Some random crap→
Reagan and I have been working all year long to gain guaranteed entry to next year’s New York City Marathon. We have been doing the NYRR 9+1 program. We have had all of our races (plus a few extra) finished for quite some time now. But when we got online to sign up to volunteer, … Continue reading Busy Weekend→
We found out this morning that Piper will be going back to NJ on Tuesday. We knew that she was next on the list, for a couple of weeks now. But I was secretly hoping that she wouldn’t go back until after the holidays, and everything. She has been at Blythedale for a long time … Continue reading Deep Breath→
We have already had a pretty busy week, this week. I worked late yesterday, but still managed to fit in a winter line launch party for Flud Watches. Then Tuesday night, Reagan and I attended a (work related) holiday party at Rockefeller Center. It was at one of the restaurants that is adjacent to the … Continue reading Party at the Roc→
I know that I have posted this photo before. But I really like, it. Plus it is the only digital photo that I have, of my grandfather, during WWII (lower left). I didn’t write anything, this year for Memorial Day. So I thought that I would take a second and say something on Pearl Harbor … Continue reading Remember Pearl Harbor→
I had some surplus vacation time to use up before the end of the year. As a part of it, I’m taking a vacation at the end of every week this month (for those weeks that don’t already end in holidays), starting last Friday. It was really fun to be able to go up and … Continue reading Work Free-Fridays for the Month of December→
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 … Continue reading 2009 in retrospect→
