Happy birthday to my awesome wife! What a great day: Santa photo fail, running around and playing at the mall with Grace and Mimi, Skyfall, Sperry’s, and Gracie’s candle ziti (“joke!”). Happy birthday! We love you.

A Cold & Snowy Winter 2011

Monday, January 24th, 2011 · 3 Comments

This has been one of the snowiest and coldest winters we’ve experienced to date here in Saratoga Springs. This morning is just a bit absurd in terms of the cold factor. The temperature is anywhere from -16 °F to -27 °F (-34 °F with wind chill). I just walked the dogs around the block and […]

Oh, Baby!

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 · 18 Comments

OK, this is getting ridiculous. It’s time to freakin’ blog something already (and there’s big news herein for those of you who read to the end). In the 10 years since I started blogging, this has probably been the longest dry stretch of not blogging (3.5 months since the last post), so it’s time to […]

My 30-Year-Old Little Bro

Thursday, July 1st, 2010 · Comments Off on My 30-Year-Old Little Bro

Today my little bro turns 30. I think that’s got to be the sure sign that I’m no spring chicken myself. I still remember the day Pete was born. And the world hasn’t been safe since… from his kindness, his wit, his humor, and his charm. This entry won’t be as in-depth as last year’s […]

Spring is in the Air

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010 · 4 Comments

One thing’s for certain: There’s nothing like five months of a dreary and cold Northeast winter to make one really appreciate the sun (even if we didn’t get much snow this year). So when the temperature climbed to the low 60s yesterday, all I wanted to do was be outside. Yesterday also happened to be […]

Weekend Recap: Painting, Games, Graney’s

Monday, March 15th, 2010 · Comments Off on Weekend Recap: Painting, Games, Graney’s

The best weekends are those when you’ve had everything to do, and you’ve done it all. Those are also the weekends that seem to last longer than two-and-a-half days. This past weekend was one of those. Though we didn’t go out Friday night after work, Jen and I did stay in for our own fun […]

Sniffles, 400s, Happy Hour

Thursday, November 19th, 2009 · Comments Off on Sniffles, 400s, Happy Hour

My Facebook status update last night was the following: …which pretty much sums it up. I’m stubborn about admitting to being “sick,” though I do get cold-like symptoms maybe once a year, usually around this time. Jen likes to give me a hard time since I like to say I never get sick. And I’m […]

Wine Tasting in the Finger Lakes

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 · 5 Comments

On Saturday Jen, Alexis, and I headed west from Saratoga Springs, while Johnny headed east from Buffalo. We met somewhat in the middle: In the Finger Lakes region of central New York, where we left the rain and fog of Saratoga that day behind and enjoyed a picture-perfect day at Seneca Lake. We met at […]

U2 Show @ Giants Stadium

Friday, September 25th, 2009 · 4 Comments

On Wednesday I took the day off work and joined Justin, his bro Mike, and his friend Charlie for a (really long) trek to New York City (well, technically, New Jersey) to see U2 at Giants Stadium. It was the earliest I’d ever arrived for any concert — about 11:30am — and the longest I’d […]

The past year in brotherdom brought highlihgts such as the second annual Anderson Brothers Mustache Growing Contest, our first marathon together (we’re both training for our second together later this month), and […]
