The other day riding home from work, I was standing in front of this guy. It was one of those things where, I couldn’t help myself from staring. The man was chewing gum in a way that I had never seen it done before. I was able to sneak some incognito footage of it, while … Continue reading Le Gum Chewer→
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→
Friday evening, for the first time in my life, I was really scared in an elevator. To give a little background, I work on the 36th floor. My elevator bank serves the 27th floor, to the 39th floor. If there are no stops in between, it takes less than 1 minute for me to get … Continue reading Runaway Elevator→
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?→

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!→
I’m not really sure what was going on here. It was raining like cats and dogs outside, so I can see wanting to get out of the weather and have a nap. But, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that there may have been a more low profile way to go … Continue reading Getting out of the rain→
My day is normally broken up into manageable units by sporadic IM conversations with Reagan. These conversations normally consist of Reagan telling me about what is on Oprah, and me telling her about the crap that I read in the paper. Today, when I got to work, I saw that Reagan was already online at … Continue reading Disconnected→
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→
