    Last night, some of our friends were gracious enough to share their baseball tickets with us. The Yankees were playing the Tigers. It is always nice, when I watch the Yankess play, to go with other people who are also not Yankee fans (especially when they are providing the tickets). I was able to keep…

    So, it has been a couple of months now, that I have set up the “new blog.” On the old one it was a lot more complicated to publish posts, because it required an FTP program, which was fine when I was at home, but my firm’s network blocks FTP Programs. Since I was rarely…

    So, I picked a really good day to start being more positive. It has been pouring rain all day, hahaha. Honestly, I’m not really bothered by it. So I’m not going to complain. I just wanted to illustrate the kind of opposition that I’m up against (yes, that part was a joke). Anyway, Reagan and…

    Reagan and I got up bright and early today and met up with the group that is running the LI race next week. We did the loop at central park. It was a beautiful run. The loop is 6.2 miles, according to this trail map, which is great, because we only thought it was 5.…

    I’m getting pretty excited to spend some time outside watching free music this summer. Last year we saw Beastie Boys outside twice (at the C. Park stage and McCarren Park Pool). I have perused through the Central Park Summer Stage lineup for this year, and there are a couple of noteworthy acts. June 14th is…

    Even though it is Friday, I am having a tough time getting excited for the weekend today. Some of it is because of the fact that I know it is not going to be a restful weekend. Some of it is that the weight of the world getting me down, again. Hahaha. #1. I was…

    We found out yesterday that our good friends the Halls are going to be moving to California so that Doug can attend the MBA program at UCLA. I have to admit that I am pretty jealous that they are escaping the great white north. I’m also pretty bummed that they are going to be so…

    I got home from work at a reasonable hour last night, and decided to try to keep going with the faux-training for the LI half Marathon. I started around 7 just working my way from my house, down Ft. Washington, to riverside, then back over to B-way so that I could catch the Riverside Park…
