Thoughts and tidbits
• I'm partaking in my first candidate-related volunteer effort ever tonight and I'm interested to see how it goes. Admittedly, I get swept up in stuff like this, naturally, but I think it's something that's important and often in the past I've taken a very hands-off approach (basically, I voted and that's it). I was always really impressed when cathboblet ( Read more... ) -

• I am deeply tired and sore from a weekend filled with the park, softball and hockey. With the cold and rain in the city today, I came really, really close to just calling in sick and sleeping the day away/going to the movies ( Read more... ) -
Grill Master
Due to a fortuitous series of events yesterday, I became the grill master at the Tacocestis 4th of July holiday hoedown and bbq. It was actually a lot of fun and reminded that during the 17 or so years I lived with my parents that I did actually pick up some useful, everyday skills ( Read more... ) -
Day's half over ...
When this wild and crazy (not) weekend started up, tacologic had asked if I wanted to go to a soccer bar this morning and watch the race to not get relegated at a bar down in the Village this morning. Sure, I thought ... why not ( Read more... ) -
I have to go, I have a lot I wanna do ...
I think one of the biggest problems I've had with this breakup is that I feel like I'm whining about it in a far disproportionate measure to what I actually invested in it. I knew her for five months and we dated for four of them, but, really, compared to what a lot of people are going through I really don't have that much to complain about ( Read more... ) -

- I wake up, on average, anywhere between 7 am and 9 am, depending on when I have/want to be in at work during the day. During the morning, I usually wake up to the dulcet tones of Jim Kerr, or whatever song the local classic rock station happens to be playing at the time I arise. At least twice during the last week, and at various times mind you, ( Read more... )

Just call me the Speaker of the House Music ...
- Guess who's in the hospital again? Not me, no. It's my dad. Something in the realm of 20 years ago, he was stricken with food poisoning that all I can remember was something fierce. Now, one of the benefits of living in the same place for an extended period of time is that now that he's sick again, the doctor who treated him back then is treating ( Read more... )

Plugging along ....
The last couple of weeks of my life have been a blur of people visiting, traveling and reminders of why I like the City so much.
At the beginning of the month, I headed down to Raleigh ostensibly to celebrate laurajones' birthday but mostly because I haven't ridden a rollercoaster in ages, and, well, I really wanted to. Although there is no digital ( Read more... ) -
Movin' and Shakin' ...
• I bought the new 12 Gardens Live album last night that chronicles Billy Joel's 12 nights at Madison Square Garden last year. And I think I've determined that Billy Joel concerts really boil down to being the most expensive group karaoke nights out ever. Does he even have to be there?
• I have a new morning sandwich preference: egg, cheese and ( Read more... ) -
Attack of the ex-girlfriends
New York's a big place. There are at least 1.5 million people living on this island we call the Hattan of Man and almost 20 million in the great NYC area (8 million in the five boroughs and then the rest in the outlying areas ( Read more... )
