    There are kind of a lot of photos in this post.  But, most of them are of a cute little girl on Christmas morning. So, I feel like that makes it acceptable. Reagan and I were able to have a nice long visit with Piper on Christmas eve, with our friends Sam and Anna. The…

    The name of the song is “Sleigh Bells.” That is the reason I chose this track. The lyrics aren’t particularly festive. In reality, I’m not even sure what the name even has to do with this track. Rill Rill is the artist. The track is a bit repetitive. But, I still fancy it. I have…

    Saturday night, we had a really fun visit with Piper. Our friends the Smoots came with us. It was really fun to watch their little daughter Stella play with Piper. Stella was really sweet to Piper, and Piper was completely mesmerized by Stella. Piper is moving back to Wanaque in NJ this week. Tomorrow, to…

    Last night, Reagan and I went to a church on the east side to watch a live nativity with some of our friends. Afterward, we ate at this Brazilian place called Zebu, on 92nd and 2nd. It was pretty awesome food. I woke up bright and early this morning with an excited little wife tugging…

    Red Hot Chili Peppers. I have pretty much loved these guys forever. I got in trouble from my mom for the album cover of  “Mother’s Milk.” I remember when they played at Park West with Oingo Boingo. The cover of “Mother’s Milk” has since been censored. Both Park West and Oingo Boingo no longer exist.…

    Last night we attended a party thrown by our friends Kim and Ryan, in Harlem. It was a lot of fun, because they went ALL OUT. The indoor decorations are well documented over on Kim’s blog, if you want to get a sense of what I’m talking about. But it didn’t stop there. They had…

    Reagan and I were so happy that Piper was able to stick around Blythedale for the holidays. Today, she sat on Santa’s lap and he gave her a present. It seemed like she was really pretty interested in the whole event, too. Regan and I arrived kind of early, to get Piper into her Christmas…

    Today was the day that we were scheduled to be moving Piper to NJ. Yesterday morning I received all of the discharge paperwork via fax. I signed all of it and faxed it back over. I was starting to get mentally geared up for the event. Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from Piper’s social…

    Reagan and I were volunteering at a race on Saturday, and they had a nice little holiday playlist pumping through the PA speakers. There was this elevator-music sounding song playing, that I suddenly recognized as the melody to Green Day‘s “Holiday.” I laughed and was pretty awesome, all at the same time. Later, I did…
