  • Long Weekend

    Man, am I looking forward to a long weekend!  You can tell I've had a busy week, since I haven't managed to post at all.  Lame.  There were some highlights along the way — a meet-up for the beach house, an opening party for Hundred Acres, some gym time, some couch time, and my second

  • Weekend Wrapup

    Let’s see, where to start.  Friday night I went to a concert put on by middle school students from a set of city charter schools.  We provide pro bono legal services to the parents of one of the schools, and I’ve got to say, it was so wonderful to see these kids play in the

  • Things That Made Me Giggle More Than They Should

    1) The thought of naming a daschund "uni panini" (after the sandwich at El Quinto Pino, which I have yet to try). 2) The similarity between Match.com profile headlines and the descriptions of the sakes at Decibel:  "round & superbly balanced," "elegant & smooth," "extremely dry with mellowness and richness."

  • The Kiwis Did Me In

    I really do think I’m still recovering from Dan and Melissa’s wedding, which was one of the most fun I have been to in a while.  The fun, lively, and lighthearted attitude started during the ceremony, where the priest laughingly stopped us all from butchering a hymn (we all started at different times) and made

  • Yummy Weekend

    Oh, what a delicious weekend.  Oysterfest on Saturday, a duck club at Marshall Stack Saturday night, a pupusa, some ceviche, a taco and some grilled corn at the Red Hook ball fields on Sunday and then a dinner party Sunday night with mushroom fettucine and my first batch of ice cream in the new machine.

  • Weekend Wrapup

    I’m getting quite the collection of bridge pictures from my bike rides.  Unfortunately, this bike ride was cut short due to rain on Saturday, but Lauren, Tara, Neil and I still managed to make the most of it.  My bike is now taking a brief vacation across the river in Williamsburg until I can grab

  • It’s Still Summer in My Book

    Labor Day may be gone, but I’m still not done with the beach.  Not only did I stay out for the gorgeous weekend, but I stuck around to take advantage of the midweek night I had left.  Although the weather didn’t cooperate, we made the most of it with a long walk (perfect for photos)

  • Shrimp, Lobsters, and BLT’s

    Ah, Labor Day weekend at the beach. This time, I was actually not staying in my usual digs, but rather down the block at Margarita Villas. Some of the folks back at the house took to calling us "the Others," a la Lost, but quite a few people stopped by to visit. We managed to

  • Castles in the Sand

    Well, although I didn’t participate other than by taking pictures and bringing (very strong) cocktails down to the beach, this weekend’s sand castle competition certainly managed to have an impact on me — that night I dreamed that a friend had bought a giant chocolate sand castle as a gift for another friend (he had
