Nice weather for ducks (and ruining a set of bearings)
Yesterday was the final weekend of 2009 Summer Streets. It just happened to coincide with the weekend that my dad and youngest brother were in town for the tour-de-revo-war ’09. It wasn’t the best of weather, in fact Hurricane Bill threw a pretty nasty burst at us the previous night, taking out 500 trees, in…

Weekend, etc.
First of all, Bloomberg’s Summer Streets are back, starting next weekend. I’m pretty pumped about that. We had so much fun last year. I was able to ride Park Avenue, all three weekends. We are going to be camping on the 15th, this year, so we will be missing that weekend for sure, but I…

Soupy Weather
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…

More rain for the weekend
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…

Used to dribble down in VA
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…

Passport Rain
Timing has not been my forte, today. First I had the train incident, this morning. Then, as luck (or lack thereof) would have it, the only 10 minutes that mother nature decides to make it rain today, occurred right as I walked outside to go get a passport photo taken. As a result, any and…

Solutions for a soggy day
For those who have seen my previous rants about people and the way they wield their massive umbrellas on crowded sidewalks, they may already know how annoyed I can get while commuting on rainy days, like today. But, check this out. I was minding my own business, and a magical idea came across one of…

Le Weekend
This weekend was full of inanities and insanities, as usual. Two of Reagan’s good friends from high school came to visit, beginning Thursday. One of them became very ill on Friday and headed home to DC. Reagan’s not-sick friend hung out with us until Saturday afternoon. Friday night, Reagan and Terrah (Reagan’s not-sick friend) came…

Jammed up at work
Today started off great. The sun was shining through the curtains, when I woke up. The birds were chirping, etc. I went down to CP to shoot this race before church, and got an email, while I was there, that some stuff was going to be happening at work today. The race was awesome. I…

Just me n’ Peej this weekend
Reagan is going to be in the Silver State visiting her good friend Lacy to meet Lacy’s new baby. She said that she is also thinking about doing a drive-by of the chapel that we got married in, just for old times’ sake. Hahahah. That last part was made up. I have tried to stack…
