  • Happy February!

    ^_____Reagan, waiting for the A after our Piper visit on Sunday morning Now that January is officially over, I’m starting to come to terms with the fact that 2010 is really here and well underway. February is going to be a big month for us. First of all, it is Reagan’s birthday is on Thursday.…

  • It has been too bloody cold

    People tend to get stir crazy, when they are sick and it is too cold spend any sort of quality time out doors. We do, anyway. Saturday, it was barely in the double digits outside, and it felt even colder because of the wind. Reagan had an appt on the UWS early in the afternoon.…

  • They say that 3 is an odd number

    Today marks three years of marriage for Reagan and myself. In these short three years, it has already been a pretty crazy ride. I don’t mean that in a negative way, at all. When I say crazy, I’m referring mostly to the things that have come our way that have been out of our control.…

  • Latest second-hand info on PJ

    I thought about just putting in a stock photo of Piper, for this post. But, Reagan and I are still just having to use our imaginations to guess what she looks like, right now. So, I guess everyone else will too. Yes, Reagan and I have still been too sick to be allowed into the…

    YAPFMDC=”yet another photo from my desk chair.” Yes, that was the best I could come up with, tonight. Apple drops an iPad, I serve up this. I haven’t been feeling particularly creative or motivated for the last couple of days. So, there it is. Reagan and I are both still too sick to see Piper,…

  • Promising News from the Piper front

    Although Reagan and I have both been too sick for the past couple of days to see Piper in person, we received a pretty optimistic report from her nurse today. She told us that Piper has been able to come down a bit more on her vent settings, despite the fact that she is no…

  • Don’t read this, if you are easily bummed out

    Reagan covered it pretty well, in her blob, today. But, Piper has still not made any progress. In fact, we found out last night that she is actually doing a little bit worse. I won’t go into all of the gritty details. They did put her back on a paralytic, so that they could take…

  • Weekend, here we come

    It’s Sundance time in Park City. Being a bit of a street art aficionado, I was pretty excited to hear that Banksy was throwing up some pieces in SLC and PC, since the film “Exit through the Gift Shop,” is debuting at the film festival. I’m hoping that the art will still be there in…

  • PJ: Doin’ the same

    No major changes to report, today. Her X-ray looks about the same. When I spoke to her night nurse tonight, though, she said that Piper sounded a little better. So hopefully that will be reflected in tomorrow’s X-ray. As can be seen in the photo above, she is looking better. Almost back to normal, puffy-wise.…

  • Guest Contributor

    Earlier this month, I received an email from my brother Peter about contributing to the La Musica Coolica feature of Jake’s New Blog. He told me that my commentary about music was getting tired, and needed to be refreshed. Hahahaha. He didn’t really tell me that. But he did offer to chime in with some…
