    Growing up in Salt Lake valley, I am no stranger to the winter inversions that occurred there. Even though the air over the valley would get dangerously loaded up with particulate matter between storms, it sure made for some dramatic sunsets. In NYC, we don’t have the inversions, but we can rely on our good…

    Reagan and I both woke up this morning with nasty colds. I worked from home, and she was able to come home early. I was able to wrap things up around 6, and logout. So we took advantage and played several rounds of sequence. Reagan received it as an early birthday gift, recently. It was…

    So much for hoping. I have barely had time to breathe today. I’m not going to complain though. In this market, having work to do, is never a bad thing. We (the state of NY) got a new Senator today, replacing the Hil. I don’t really know much about her. I figure that she can’t…

    Since my sleep schedule has been all out of wack, I have been fighting my alarm in the mornings. This morning was the first time in 2 weeks that I have had to get up early to move the car. I took advantage of the fact that I was awake, and got a lot done…

    Yeah, the Wall Street Journal’s business offices are located in a couple of the lower floors of our building. Apparently there were some suspicious letters from Tennessee containing white powder that were delivered here today. It appears that some of the packages were also opened. While it is probably nothing, the 9th-12th floors have been…

    You are cordially invited (though through a relatively crude medium) to come rock some east coast ice with us, this Monday. In the spirit of honoring the late Dr. King, we will be taking to the slopes of Mountain Creek Resort, in the lovely Garden State of New Jersey. Sorry about the short notice. But…

    During my stint in midtown this week, Although working my fingers to the bone, I was able to get a couple of kind of cool pictures. During one of our all nighters, I snapped the pic above, at sunrise. The one directly below was also taken at sunrise, facing East, down 42nd St. If you…

    The last 10 days, or so, I have been nailed to the wall, at work (figuratively, hahaha). Anyway, I know that it has been really hard for her to have me away so much, especially since she has been so sick. Anyway, I came home last night and found this on the door. In case…

    I am working remotely today from another firm’s office in the Conde Naste building. It is pretty quiet on this floor, and we have a great view. So it is a little bit of consolation.

    The upside to living at my desk (again) is that I have such a wide variety of options for dinner every night. Reagan told me that she was having pizza today for lunch. It sounded so good when she told me, that I pretty much decided right then, I was going to have it for…
