Last week I got a text message from my brother simply telling me to “check my email!” I just checked that off as a silly thing. A couple of hours later, I opened my email and found this picture: Two widdle, cutie, little kittens! But there was nothing with the email. Just the photo. I [...]

Thanksgiving 2008

Me and the family had Thanksgiving with Sazzy and her fiance, Jeff. We had my sister, Melanie, visit from NYC. Jeff’s mom gave us a scare when she opened the door and acted like we were at the wrong apartment. But when she started signing, that pretty much gave it away. Good food — 3 [...]

Last weekend Alli had a very small birthday event. My brother Trevor and his new wife (a.k.a. sister in law) Annie came down for the weekend to visit us and take Leah trick or treating on Halloween.

Be very careful of automated car wash centers. This is my brother’s car. (Duh, it’s like, obvious. Look at the Yankees plate frame.) This is his damaged rear window. This is a result of the Sirius radio antenna getting stuck in one of the rotors and “whipping” into the window, damaging it. My brother told [...]

Been having a great time at home this past week. Only thing is I miss Alli something terrible. A highlight of my trip up to NY was a planned day-trip to Cooperstown, the birthplace of baseball and the site of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. My sister Melanie, Leah and I left [...]
The Stadium and Potholes
Posted in Extended limbs and appendages, The Pleasures of Life on May 7, 2008 | 4 Comments »
The Potholes Last weekend I got to do something I’ve been wanting to do for more than a year. Bike through traffic-free roads in the five boroughs of New York City with 30,000 other cyclists. The Five Boro Bike Tour has been running for 31 years now and features this bike ride starting in Battery [...]
Wet Dog

Sure, the title can be misleading. But read this. Tonight we (we refers to the immediate family) went out for dinner with my sister in law and mother in law at a Japanese-Thai restaurant at the Washingtonian Center in Gaithersburg. Sushi Siam is thy name. Thy food sucks. Why? My sister in law had food [...]
