Friday Night at the races
Friday night, I was in Central Park shooting this race, when I passed by the croquet garden near Sheep’s Meadow. There was this dude out there playing all by himself. Just practicing his shot, I guess. Anyway, I stopped and talked to him for a while (after sneaking a few shots of him). It turns…

Kim’s wedding
Tonight we had the privilege of attending the wedding reception of our friends Kim and Ryan. It was a really good time. The location was on the roof of one of the Central Park Conservancy buildings. The weather was fantastic. As you can see above, Kim look gorgeous. Ryan looked great too, but Reagan didn’t…

Restaurant week is almost here!
Reagan and I have a terrible habit of eating out at all of the same places, all of the time. We have a couple of “usual” spots in just about every neighborhood. It is a safe approach. We are never disappointed, because we already know what’s on the menu and what’s good. I’m not going…

Balloons on the Subway
A lot of the time, commuting sucks. Especially when going all of the way from one end of the island, to the other, twice a day. This morning, for example, I needed to be in a bit early. So I made sure to get out the door at a reasonable hour. My efforts were, however,…

Natural Mood Lifters
This month, I came across a kind of cool article in Details. It was published in the “Know and Tell” section, and titled “Prescription-free Antidepressants.” According to the piece, consuming nuts (one of my favorite foods) and fish supposedly help fight stress, etc.. So what better way to fight depression that doubling up a peanut-avocado…

NYRR Kidney Health 10K
[Reagan, in front of the great lawn, before the race] I thought it was great that the benefit for today’s race was for kidney health. Reagan and I were joking the entire time about that scene from 30 Rock this week, where Dr. Spogemen talks about how kidney transplantation is no laughing matter. Today was…

Seen in the tracks this morning at 181
He was there yesterday too. He must be getting pretty ripe, by now.
