Yesterday was the final weekend of 2009 Summer Streets. It just happened to coincide with the weekend that my dad and youngest brother were in town for the tour-de-revo-war ’09. It wasn’t the best of weather, in fact Hurricane Bill threw a pretty nasty burst at us the previous night, taking out 500 trees, in … Continue reading Nice weather for ducks (and ruining a set of bearings)→
I read the book “1776” earlier this year. So did my dad and my brothers. It was all part of a plan hatched by my dad. The idea was that we all read the book together, then have a pow-wow, here in NYC to visit the local sites that we all read about in the … Continue reading Three Day History Tour, beginning tomorrow→

We were there long enough to catch some rays, before it clouded up. We made it home just before it started pouring. Click on any … Continue reading Piper and Hammocking→

I had been reading random things about it on Gothamist for the past couple of months as well. We finally decided to check it out today. When I say check … Continue reading Governor’s Island→
Friday night, I was in Central Park shooting this race, when I passed by the croquet garden near Sheep’s Meadow. There was this dude out there playing all by himself. Just practicing his shot, I guess. Anyway, I stopped and talked to him for a while (after sneaking a few shots of him). It turns … Continue reading Friday Night at the races→
