  • Quite Early Morning

    My sleep patterns are a little erratic at the moment, likely due to a week of vacation (including one sunrise and several naps) and the stress of returning both to work and panic about my triathlon training.  Yesterday, when I woke up at 5:30, I uploaded my pictures and then fell back asleep for a

  • The Trail of Tears

    Slowly easing back into reality after a week’s vacation at the beach.  Highlights included several outrageously delicious meals (grass-fed beef steaks, grilled veggies, gumbo, steak tartare, paella, shrimp tacos . . .), a handful of solid runs, some major beach naps, dogs in costumes (not sure I’ll be living that one down for a while)

  • Back on the Big Island

    Back from vacation with a savage tan and mosquito bites galore — pictures to come.  Looking forward to my super-comfy bed and major A/C.

  • Pictures Galore

    Even more pictures — this time from a fantastic bike ride with Lauren, Frank, and Annie.  We started in Williamsburg and headed to Astoria, then we returned to Manhattan via Randall’s Island — one of my favorite rides this summer.

  • You Should’ve Been in Pictures

    I took about eighty billion pictures this weekend for some reason — here’s the first batch, from the roof garden at the Met.  If I were particularly motivated, I would have messed around with them in Photoshop, but I’m not — I’m on vacation!  Heading to the beach for a week after a bunch of

    The weather reports are calling for thunderstorms for the next three days — looks like my red galoshes are going to get put to good use.

  • My Idiot College Friends

    Recently I spent a good chunk of the day with a friend and his buddies from college.  First we went out for a few drinks, then met up with them later along with another slew of his college friends.  As I listened to them joke around and watched them interact, at some point I commented

  • Hold the Line

    For the record, this is the sunset from the ferry on the way home.  I didn’t get a picture of the stunning pink sunrise I saw Sunday morning.  Another great weekend, including an fantabulous Saturday night dinner from Iron Chef Joe and his sous-chef team, a rockin’ jam session on the beach, a four-mile run,

  • For Real Fourth

    Given the somewhat gloomy weather, I managed to have a very good Fourth of July.  Started out with brunch and a bike ride with Lauren and Frank — we started at my place and biked up to the GWB (as you can see here), and managed to stay relatively dry in the process.  After a

  • Faux Fourth

    Although it wasn’t really the fourth, it was still a blast, and I still got to sing the Star Spangled Banner (and there was still pig . . . and beans, and yucca, and some killer hot sauce).  Pictures from the weekend are here.
