    As I'm sure most who regularly read this blog have discerned, it has been a bit crazy for the past couple of days, resulting in a lack of fresh blogitude. Thanks, Carl for giving me the motivation to sit down and fire off a post. Starting with the weekend, things were a little crazier than…

    I had to take a picture of my dinner tonight. This is the first time in my life that the food I ordered actually looks just like the picture in the menu.

    We got up bright and early to come visit Piper before church today. Reagan dressed her all up in her new easter dress. It was a little bit big. But Piper didn't mind and neither did we. We are looking forward to having Easter dinner at the Halls with our friends. We wish that piper…

    Oh my goodness, I am getting so excited for the spring. I bought a new skate deck when I was in UT for Lacy’s wedding and I still haven’t had a chance to use it. I almost did one night about a month ago. I went to skate with the kids at the GW bus…

    Happy St. Pattrick’s day, everyone. I think that my favorite part about this holiday is the high school kids that come from Jersey and LI to the parade and and get drunk on the train before they even get to Manhattan. One year, I was on my way to work, so it was before 10…

    This morning Reagan and I had the privilege of attending a funeral mass for Mikey Dryer. Mikey was one of Piper’s crib mates at the Columbia NICU.
