We hit the town Friday night (Thirteen and DA’s) for the beginning of our quadruple header weekend. Saturday we drove to Brooklyn for Karen and Joti’s Halloween party. Jen was kick-ass Princess Leia and I was Han Solo, complete with Nerf gun with laser sight. We had no success finding a gun holster for my […]

In a democratized backlash last night to incumbent mayor Mike Lenz’s $500-a-plate fundraiser, Val Keehn hosted a $5-per-plate informal gathering at the Union Gables Inn on Union Ave. Cheese and crackers abounded, as did a sea of red — supporters were encouraged to show support by wearing red. Jen and I arrived on the early […]

Last night Jen, my Dad, and I joined more than 100 fellow residents in a peaceful candlelight vigil to honor the 2,000 American troops killed in Iraq, as well as the 30,000 Iraqis killed, and countless others who have been maimed physically and emotionally by this avoidable and pointless war. We gathered outside the Post […]

Friday night Jen, Justin, and I hit the town for a round of bar-hopping — City Tavern, Thirteen, the Wine Bar, and Tin & Lint. We were excited to see the Svedka vodka girls at Thirteen later in the evening (massages, handcuffs, free drinks), much talked up by the bartender, but the reality wasn’t all […]

The temperature hasn’t quite hit that magical 32-degree mark yet, but we’re close. According to Yahoo Weather, the temperature here is currently 36 degrees. According to the Frogometer outside my window, it’s about 40 degrees. Either way, that translates into the need for turning on the heater, which we did for the first time of […]

Our new furniture arrived yesterday — two bookcases, one chair, one ottoman. Our living room line of furniture is allegedly being discontinued (part of me thinks it’s just a ploy to get us to buy more; if so, it worked), so last month we bought a few more pieces for the living room. The chair […]

Saturday night Jen and I hit the town with Sarah, Eric, Justin, and Caroline for a crazy evening at One Caroline filled with good eats, good wine, good friends, and good fun. It was an evening marked by great conversation (technology, gabeanderson.com, wine snobbery, the meat fan, work, etc.) and was one I won’t soon […]

Jen and I have been uploading 35mm and digital photos to the Web since February 2000, when we first discovered Photoworks (although my first photo went online on my first Web site back in 1995). We used Photoworks for nearly two years before we decided we didn’t like the print quality of digital photos, or […]
