My Dad emailed me this random series of photos of me, Pete, and himself shortly after Christmas 2006, and they’ve been sitting in my Gmail inbox since then. Since I’m determined to clear out the 200 or so emails in my inbox today, I finally got around to downloading them to my computer, and figured […]

SF Trip 2006
Sunday, October 22nd, 2006 · Comments Off on SF Trip 2006
San Francisco is my home away from home. And I’m fortunate enough to make it there at least once per year. This year was no exception, as I spent a few action-packed days there earlier this month. It was a work trip, but I managed to have lots of fun. You see, I’m lucky enough […]

Friday night we had a full crew for the Bill Maher show at the Palace in Albany. We loaded up the party van and rolled 7-deep to the Palace. The party posse included me, Jen, Hugh, Jami, Justin, Amy, and Carla. And Bill Maher was simply awesome. Maher talked for nearly 2 hours non-stop, touching […]

Last Track Day 2006

On Monday, September 4, 2006, we brought new meaning to the final day of the track. Our party posse that day — Jen, Sue, Josh, Hugh, Jami, Eric, Michele, and I — shut down the track. We were literally the last fans to leave. When we left, the track was dark — the sun had […]

Travers 2006
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006 · 2 Comments
Dr. Pleasure delivered. As I (almost) predicted last week, Dr. Pleasure finished in 3rd at Saturday’s 147th running of the $1 million Travers Stakes. He came in behind heavy favorite Bernardini, who won by more than 6 lengths, and Bluegrass Cat, who was forced into retirement following the race. I hit both the trifecta (5-7-3) […]
