    Okay, this race was awesome for several reasons. First of all, The Hardies and the Tolberts were there. Second of all, I asked Zack if he wouldn’t mind shooting the race for the Examiner article. He obliged. Linda, actually contributed as well. Dude, the shots turned out amazing. Zach has some skills. He got some…

    Yesterday, New York City finally decided to slip out of the extremely pleasant and mild mid-80’s, low humidity, straight into the dog days. I went for a very short run last night (14 minutes long) solely for the purpose of calibrating my new sportband, when I got home from work. It literally took me over…

    Reagan and I, have on occasion had discussions regarding the integrity of retailers (lifestyle pushers) like Urban Outfitters. My argument is that, by providing all of those reproduced “vintage” (FYI, I hate the term vintage) tees, etc., in one location, and charging a ton of money for them, Urban Outfitters has effectively taken away everything…

    For the last 3 years, Reagan and I have tried to attend the NY Philharmonic show on the Great Lawn at CP. The first year, Reagan went down to the park early with one of our friends to try to get some good position. About then, a full on monsoon ripped through midtown, and they…

    We had a pretty great visit with Piper today. She was on trache collar, pretty much the whole time that we were there. That’s always nice, because she has less secretions, and is more mobile. But for whatever reason, the humidity, or something kept making her choke, which would necessitate suctioning. Since she was finishing…

    A bit of hammocking, a picnic and maybe a lil’ mini-golf. It is great to see how fired up Reagan can get about some pretty simple activities. I have to agree though. Hammocking is enjoyable.

    Reagan and I are constantly butting heads about home decor. It sounds lame, I’m sure. After several lengthy discussions, we decided that the home decorating is probably generally done by one spouse, or the other, in most relationships. That may or may not be true. Anyway, our taste overlaps significantly. However, we both have strong…

    Reagan and I had a blast in RI. I mean, we always do, when we visit the Truscotts.  So, it’s not exactly breaking news. We arrived in Newport on Thursday night, in time for 2 full days of playing in the pool croquet, barbeque, etc.. Mucho mas fotos here. On the way home, we stopped…

    We are pretty amped to have two road trips back to back. The firm is closed Friday, in observation of the day that Jesus first set off fireworks. Sorry for the sacrelig’. It was something funny that Reagan once overheard a Long Islander saying, and we have joked about it ever since. Anyway, we are…

    Reagan and I were able to take a little road trip down south, this weekend to Virginia Beach. Some of our friends have access to a great beach house down there and invited us to tag along. For the most part, the weather was awesome. It was mid 80’s for the entire time. Sunday was…
