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 … Continue reading Weekend, etc.→
^—–Reagan sitting in an old cannon installation on Governor’s Island Reagan read this great article in Time Out NY, earlier this month about Governor’s Island. I had been reading random things about it on Gothamist for the past couple of months as well. We finally decided to check it out today. When I say check … Continue reading Governor’s Island→
I know that the weekend isn’t even over yet. But I just thought that I would let everyone know that Piper is still doing awesome, and as cute as ever. We had a really good time with her today. She didn’t even puke once. They had just switched her from trache collar back to the … Continue reading Piper Update→
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 … Continue reading Soupy Weather→
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.

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 … Continue reading Independence Day Weekend 2009→
One of the great things about going to Newport for the weekend, is that it was very convenient to visit Piper on the way to and from RI. When we hung out with her today, Reagan dressed PJ all up in some patriotic colored garb. She was being super cute. We talked to the nurse … Continue reading Piper update (4th of July Weekend 09)→
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 … Continue reading More rain for the weekend→
Sunday morning’s race was a pretty fun one. Luckily, the rain held off for just long enough. There was actually some pleasant misting during the last portion, that felt awesome. After switching back to my “Wave Inspire” shoes, I’m happy to report that I was able to run without any knee pain, whatsoever, on Sunday. … Continue reading 2009 Fathers Day 5 Mi. Race→
Saturday was a banger, in these parts. Although we slept in a little bit on Saturday (which we were allowed to, since it was raining), we made every minute count, for the rest of the day. We trekked out to Brooklyn for the Mermaid Parade, and decided to check out the Brooklyn Aquarium, first. It … Continue reading Brooklyn Aquarium and Mermaid Parade→
