    I’m heartbroken and outraged. I have a great deal more to say about this senseless act of violence in Connecticut. But right now, I just want to help a little bit. Every year I end up with a surplus of lollipops during the holiday season since it’s my busiest time of year. And usually I…

    I plan on writing more about this when time allows, but for now I would like to share three pictures. Before the race: During the race (mile 10): Right after the race: I ran a personal best but did not get the time I was aiming for. I have A LOT of excuses for that,…

    I ran over the bridge today and into downtown Manhattan. This is my usual running route, but my goodness are things ever different down there right now. I did a 10 mile run and stopped along the way to take some pictures. These aren’t the best pictures as I was using my phone, but they…

    I hadn’t dressed up for Halloween since I was 26. It felt good.

    Hurricane Sandy blasted New Jersey. I feel terrible for the coast. My parents will be without power for a while, but that’s nothing compared to what many people along the coast are dealing with today. Anyway, here are a few pictures we took while down there. This is Morgan Marina right off the Garden State…

    We had to evacuate our building in Williamsburg due to flooding. We live in Zone A. The irony here is that we’re now in South Jersey, right by the shore, which is supposed to get nailed in a few hours. I love storms. My mom feels the same way. So at 11:15 AM, 45 minutes…

    Mia has gone through some serious downfalls as of late. Things really, really aren’t going her way. Her mother has breast cancer. That’s an ongoing, serious problem she’s coping with as best she can. Problem is, her mom can’t seem to beat it. It just keeps coming back. And that gets her down. On September…

    Last week I accidentally ordered at least 80 bananas. You see, we order our groceries from Fresh Direct and sometimes I screw up. There was the time I accidentally ordered 4 pounds of jalapeños. This time, I meant to order 10 bananas. Instead, I got 10 bunches of bananas. Each bunch holds at least 8 bananas.…

    I have been online for a long time. I am 38. I was a designer for over a decade. I spent years in front of a computer. I spent many late nights tooling around IRC, commenting on message boards. I had a blog in the mid-90s. I started this one in 2001. I have experienced…
