    Reagan and I wanted to make sure that we took full advantage of the remaining warm-weather weekends (the alliteration is for flare). We definitely got our plan off to a banging start this weekend. We took a lot of pictures too, but I haven’t even had a chance to load them up yet, plus I…

    Today is the typical kind of cliché Friday, where I every time I look outside and see how nice it is, I just want to leave work and start the weekend early. Unfortunately, I’m having a bit of a busy day. I keep thinking about how great the weather was last weekend, and how much…

    Our Alley at night — ↓ Piper’s doctor called me yesterday to tell me that they switched out her GJ tube for a regular G-tube, again. They said that the GJ tube seemed to be leaking and may have come dislodged. I was surprised that they didn’t need our consent, and that they could do…

    After our visit with Piper on Sunday, we decided that it was ideal weather for a bike ride. Reagan is really starting to look comfortable on hers. She wasn’t afraid to call out “on your left,” when passing people or anything. On the way home I had trouble keeping up with her. All I could…

    NYC had this great idea of closing off Park Ave. to vehicular traffic, and opening it for pedal bikes and foot traffic, only. Reagan had to work today, so I hit it up with one of our friends from church, whose wife is out of town. He brought their little daughter a long too. It…

    Yesterday Reagan had to work. so I spent all morning on Craigslist looking for a new bike. I found this guy in Queens who buys bikes at auctions and fixes them to sell. He had some pretty sweet ones at reasonable prices. I ended up picking up and new one, and Reagan and I were…

    I could hardly wait to get out of work today and ride home. Even though it clouded up this afternoon, it was fantastic weather again this evening. I came out of the building, only to discover that my mike had been jacked. Soooo lame. I had the “New York proof” Kryptonite lock. So much for…

    It was such a beautiful morning for a ride. When the weather is like this, it doesn’t even seem like work, when I’m riding. I left a pair of shoes here, the other day, so I didn’t have to pack any, on the ride in. Having the reduced weight really seemed to make a difference.…

    It was nice and cool this morning when I was moving the car. I have also noticed a pretty dramatic difference in the time that the sun comes up. Since it was so nice out, I resolved that I was going to ride my bike to work today. I spent about a half hour installing…

    Don’t you just love ordering things online? Whenever I indulge in this activity, I’m reminded of a sequence from the movie Best in Show. In the movie, Parker Posey’s character is a lawyer who orders the majority of her wardrobe from the L.L. Bean catalogue. There is a scene where she is contemplating how awesome…
