I spent much of the weekend watching episode after episode of Lost. Its Number 8 ranking on my list of Top TV Shows of 2004 really doesn’t do it justice. It’s far better than an 8. Of course, I put that list together after having seen only the first couple episodes of Lost. Not only […]

Following our 3-hour trip home from Hoboken today, Jen and I were greeted by a foot of fresh snow at home. This is the most snow we’ve had to date as homeowners. And today I learned what it’s like to really be a homeowner in the Northeast — winter style. For the first time, I […]

Jen and I really know how to pick a weekend to travel south. I’m in Hoboken at the moment, getting ready to take the Path Train into Manhattan to meet up with Jonty and Dan for brunch. And a blizzard is on the horizon. Starting around 3pm today, the city is expected to get at […]
