I’ve been wanting to participate in an athletic event that would challenge me and get me back into running.  I’ve struggled the last few months to have the energy and positive attitude to work out and keep up with the regimen I used to find so easy.  I’ve decided to take the plunge and just registered for my first Sprint Triathlon.

In the past, almost month, since my last entry a lot has happened.  This is not my first attempt to post the relevant news, however on the past two attempts I’ve logged into the site I’ve found updates that have taken the time reserved for the blog entry.  Oh well, such is life.

The last two posts were written on Sunday, October the 12th after I ( Read more... )

Kate gave me a wonderful gift on our anniversary trip to the city.  While we were at dinner we were discussing the iPhone and how much I like it and can’t wait to get one.  We spoke about it for a little while and then she told me that we should just go to the Chelsea Apple Store again and pick one up.  It would be a fun thing to do while in the ( Read more... )

Kate and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary in New York City on Friday.  Originally we were going to spend a night in a New York City hotel and spend the two days exploring the city trying to hit museums and other artsy things.  However, money and time allowances did not make staying over a logical plan.

While researching what we could do in the ( Read more... )

• Between the ( Read more... )

They have a ton of your usual farm animals including cows, chickens, ducks and ( Read more... )

Monday mornings are usually the worst.  They symbolize the end of the weekend and the beginning of a full week of work.  On a three day weekend like last Tuesday morning is five times as bad as your usual Monday.  This is especially true when you’ve had as good of holiday weekend as Kate and I had and as bad of a morning experience as I had this ( Read more... )

I realized that it’s been quite a while since there has been a meaningful update here.  I’ve come to realize that I really do suck at this blogging thing and I am going to make an effort to get better and blog more often.  Any tips and ideas are welcome.

Since beginning with the driving I’ve started to work in the field office a lot more; now two ( Read more... )

A good friend Mike O had invited me to join him and some of his friends for poker a while back however due to a lack of mobility I had never taken him up on the offer.  Two weeks ago I was invited again and since I now have the means to get to and from as well as the experience to feel confident enough to do it at night I accepted.  I’ve now played ( Read more... )

Kate and I left for my inlaws after work on Tuesday to begin our nice long weekend.  We knew leaving Wed would suck as we would only arrive in CT in time to get back in the car to head out for the beginning of our amazing weekend.  So leaving Tuesday night was the way to go.  We had a quick dinner and hit the road.  To our delight there was no ( Read more... )
