Green is the Way

Wednesday, March 17th, 2004 · Comments Off on Green is the Way

Green is the Way of the Walk. That’s what the back of the shirt I wear on this day every year reads. On the front is a golden shamrock sandwiched by the text “Irish Heritage Club” on the top and “1994” on the bottom. Jen and I just returned from celebrating the day when Americans […]

Monday, March 15th, 2004 · Comments Off on Magical March 15

Is it possible to have a particular day every single year when, without necessarily planning it, something significant tends to happen?

Samsung VGA1000

I had a camera phone once before. I was really into the picture-taking capability of the phone, but the thing itself — and the AT&T service — absolutely sucked. The camera was clunky, the user interface and usability were confusing and made no sense, and the service never, ever worked. The whole reason I had […]

Good Friday

Saturday, March 13th, 2004 · Comments Off on Good Friday

Yesterday was an awesome day. It started with a sudden downfall of tons of snow just before 8 in the morning. As I’ve said before, I love snow. I finally understand why March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. So this was good. I drove Jen to work, waited around a […]

Clean Air

Wednesday, March 10th, 2004 · Comments Off on Clean Air

MoveOn.org sent an email today that featured a cool surprise (see bold): Dear FRIEND, As you know, the campaign to defeat George Bush is heating up. As a resident of a so-called “swing” state, you’re in a unique position to help change the course of this election. There’s a lot at stake this year, but […]

Mob Memories

Wednesday, March 10th, 2004 · 1 Comment

Not since college have I boarded a train bound for New York City with plans to return later the same evening. That was the thing about school in upstate New York: Proximity to the Big Apple. A quick two-hour ride on Metro North from the Poughkeepsie train station and you were in Grand Central, in […]
