    It seems like just yesterday, I was complaining about how is was so warm and rainy, so close to Christmas. Well, shut my mouth. My parents are in town this weekend (more about that later), and they brought one of those patented Utah snow storms with them. They arrived on Thursday night, and woke up…

    We were able to attend  a couple of Christmas parties this weekend. The first was was at our church. It was a pretty entertaining program, until Reagan got a mouth full of fake snow, hahaha. Speaking of church, the music on Sunday was outstanding. We go to church with some very talented people. Sometime I…

    It’s that time of year where you start getting all of these random bottles of wine and boxes of chocolates in the mail. It is kind of nice to get presents from random people who you have only met once or twice, but do a lot of biz with. It is also nice to see…

    Just when we thought winter was really here, snow and all, it looks like we are going to get slammed with rain for the rest of the week. I’m not going to complain about the temperature being a little bit higher. But, come on, it is December. We want a white Christmas, not a wet…

    The real news from this weekend (for us) is about Piper. One of our talented photographer friends came up to Blythedale with us on Saturday morning to take some family photos. Piper was on trache collar the whole time that we were there. We even took it off for a couple of shots. We can…

    You  can’t really tell, in this picture, but we got some snow Saturday night. It didn’t really stick (except to the top of cars). We had a pretty fun little outing with some of our friends. We saw Four Christmases, then hit a diner for some key lime pie. Here are the rest of the…

    Yes, I stole this picture from the NY Times. I’m sorry. Reagan and I braved the masses gathered in midtown-east last night to watch the lighting of the Christmas tree at Rockerfeller center. Our friend Carl has an office that overlooks the plaza from the 5th avenue side. So, he generously commandeered a conference room…

    I’m not really sure why, but for some reason, it is already starting to feel like holiday season. I guess maybe because next week is Thanksgiving. I can definitely tell, though. I feel like the whole pulse of the city becomes slightly modified twice a year. It happens once for vacation season, in late summer,…
