Happy MLK Jr. Day
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day (except in Arizona). I think that this guy was pretty amazing. I’m not sure who to credit with this photo. I couldn’t find the author. Who ever it was, well done.

Roebling quote of the week
I mentioned previously that I had recently started a new book about the conception and construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. As it turns out, the bridge was the brainchild of the Prussian immigrant architect/engineer/genius named John Roebling. The construction was overseen by himself and his son Washington Roebling, who evidently was equally gifted. John actually … Continue reading Roebling quote of the week
Deep Breath
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
What I love about snowboard culture
When I was just a little tyke, snowboarding was just starting to become an acceptable sport. What I mean by acceptable, is that it had it’s foot in the door, among the alpine sports community. There was only one resort along the Wasatch Front that allowed snowboards in, and it was only on two lifts. … Continue reading What I love about snowboard culture
Shep in Mid-town

It is basically about a guy named Daniel Suelo who used to be a college professor … Continue reading Fav articles of the week
Don’t break your neck, Bam!
I totally cracked up, when I saw this photo, last night. Obama busted at a G8 Summit, by a Reuters photographer, scoping out some Brazilian booty. It appears, that the Jr. delegate, Bam is ogling, is an 18 y/o Brazilian who lives just outside of Rio. I say give the guy a break. Under normal … Continue reading Don’t break your neck, Bam!
Separated at birth?
Just sayin’
Happy July
I seriously can’t believe that it is July 2009. I guess part of it is likely due to the fact that May and June were just one large rainy blob. This year, NYC missed the June rainfall record by 1/4 of an inch. Now, get ready for a bunch of randomness. Today is also Canada … Continue reading Happy July
Brittle Boned Woman Political Figures
As of yesterday, with Hillary Clinton’s mishap, all four of the women above have suffered a broken bone, caused by a trip and fall, in the last two weeks. What’s going on here? It’s summer. There isn’t even any ice on the ground. See if you can name the other three individuals pictured above without … Continue reading Brittle Boned Woman Political Figures
