We had an awesome Easter, so far. Although brisk, the weather is very sunny today. Church was great. The music was inspiring. We were so excited to see Piper, that we skipped the last portion of our church meetings, and booked it up to Westchester. Reagan brought Easter cookies that she had made, for all … Continue reading Happy Easter!→
Of course I had to mess around a bit with the new toy, as soon as I left work today. I’m still learning all of the functions, etc. The last SLR that I had was a hand-me-down from my dad. Everything was analog and I had to duct tape the film door, or else it … Continue reading Trial and Error→
They say never to trust a day with such clear skies, since September 11, 2001. But look at the weather today. It was already starting to get light when I went out at 6 A.M. this morning to move the car. It was warm enough that I could barely see my breath. I just hope … Continue reading Beautiful Day & Graffiti→
I know that I have complained about this before, but dude, it never ceases to blow my mind/annoy the ever-living crap out of me. It is bad enough trying to maneuver the sidewalks in the rain when everyone is wielding their umbrellas like weapons, so why continue to have them open while walking on covered … Continue reading What’s wrong with this picture?→
I mean, I complain so much when the index is tanking, I felt like it was high time that I dropped in some positivity, as well. Is it because of Obama’s statements regarding the US automakers? Is it because the G-20 has agreed on terms of regulation? I’m not really sure. But for me, getting … Continue reading Back over 8000!→
True to the adage, April arrived with showers. I set my alarm with enough time to go for a run, this morning before work. But when I got up and saw what it looked like outside, I quickly lost all motivation to do anything but get some more sleep. As it turns out, I ended … Continue reading Happy April!→
I have been completely off the grid busy, for the last couple of days. In a way, it was really nice. For me there are varying degrees of stress, related to work load. As unlikely as it sounds, I tend to me most stressed when I am only relatively busy. The reason for this is … Continue reading Not dead, yet→
[photo: Brian Mohr for The New York Times] Nothing makes me miss the homeland, like when a national paper runs these kind of articles. Today the NY Times ran this article about Powder Mountain Resort. The author, Stephen Regenold (a two planker), spends the entire article rubbing in my face, all of the spring powder … Continue reading NY Times Features Powder Mountain→
I definitely was not pleased this morning, when Reagan pointed out the fact that it was snowing. On a Friday? This seems like some sort of cruel joke. There go the plans for my roof-top Vernal Equinox barbecue! I’m kidding about the barbecue part. At least tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and almost 60 … Continue reading So much for spring→
In commemoration of Vernal Equinox, I have compiled a few fun facts, relating to the event. Contrary to the popular belief of New Yorkers, Vernal Equinox is not the the high roller’s gym, down the block from NYSC. It is a semiannual even where the Earth’s axis is perfectly straight up and down, in relation … Continue reading Happy Vernal Equinox→
