A giant gorilla and a birthday

So, did anyone see us on Dayside? It was a jolly good time, and I even got to ask a question. I’m not entirely sure why I asked the question that I did, but I just wanted to get on television so I got the job done. The set looks much smaller in person that [...]

Downtown

We went downtown today to see all of the Christmas decorations at the various spots: Macy’s, Rockefeller Center, Lord & Taylor, Sax 5th Ave, etc. I took a ton of photos which I’ll put on the site when we get back.
Tomorrow we’re heading back down there to do some shopping after we make an appearance [...]

For unto us, a child is born

Well, we are in the middle of a very good Christmas here in New York. We exchanged gifts already, and now we’re just relaxing and drinking some coffee while listening to Christmas music and watching some television.
The weather isn’t very Christmasy right now – lots of rain. Having spoken with friends and family from different [...]

Merry Christmas Eve!

We made the trip up to New York yesterday for the holidays. Let me tell you, leaving at 4:30 am is not fun, but we avoided most of the traffic…that is until we reached the George Washington bridge. Now we’re hanging out with Monica’s family waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.

On Monday, Monica and I attended a luncheon for my Mom’s retirement. There’s not too many photos here yet, but there will be as soon as I get the pics from my Mom’s camera. We ate lunch at the Olive Garden and my Mom had to give a speech (she did [...]

December Trek

We made our annual trek up to D.C. this past weekend to see the sights and visit some old friends. We even go to visit our old church.
Here are some photos from the weekend.

Mom turns 59

We celebrated my Mom’s 59th birthday tonight with a nice, homemade dinner (chicken parmesan), and a disaster of a cake. You see, I was trying out a new recipe, but I tweaked it some, and the tweaking didn’t go over too well. It was supposed to be a chocolate marshmallow cake.
The result looked more like [...]

Pearl Harbor Day

It seems a little weird to call today Pearl Harbor Day. I mean, we don’t call 9/11 Twin Towers Day or Pentagon Day. It’s been so long since 1941 that most people can’t really relate to what Americans went through back then, but there are the inevitable comparisons to 9/11, so I imagine most people [...]
