Once again, our very good friends the Watkins’ did a phenomenal job in putting together their fall 2008 fundraiser. Held for the 5th time at the Dutchess Country Club in Poughkeepsie, it was a great evening put together by special people. Their son Niklas has Fragile X, a form of autism. I believe he is [...]

Poker at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun
Posted in Uncategorized on October 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s been a while since my last poker post…in fact, I can’t remember the last one. Well, I played in the NL600 tourney at Foxwoods and finished about 100th out of 620 entrants, but still 30 away from the money. Six+ hours of play for naught. But I realized that this was the first real tournament [...]

It’s looking like the Orange may be taking steps to having a football team again! If Syracuse simply lets his contract run out at year’s end, they’re not taking the right steps and not sending the right message….. They’d be being too passive.
Happy Birthday to Me – who remembers that movie?

There she is…Mary Ingalls, circa 1981 (Melissa Sue Anderson), the featured character in this horror film that to this day freaks me out about fondue skewers and lifting weights alone. It got lost in the shuffle between the Halloween movies, Freddie Nightmare flicks.
The big 3-8….not exactly notable….but instead of clinging to my middle 30’s of [...]

My lovely wife…
“So, once again, I get on the train – pick again a different car and a different seat. Mr. “two times my size” walks on again and I think scouts me out. Our eyes meet but alas he picks not to sit next to me today. He sees that I have chosen an [...]
The “Big” dilemma
Posted in Uncategorized on October 22, 2008 | 3 Comments »
So, we’ve all been there….on a plane and a larger person sits down next to us. Their body’s mass is literally spilling over ont to your seat. You’re cramped and your personal space is invaded. Tough situation. Apparantly, my better half’s personal space has been being invaded on the trains in and out of the [...]
Yay, more economic stimulus checks……(ala Borat)………..NOT!
Posted in Uncategorized on October 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Momentum is building for a fresh dose of economic stimulants to boost the country out of the doldrums perhaps by putting more money in Americans’ pockets. The White House said Monday that President Bush was open to some sort of action after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned the slump could drag on without the [...]
Patterson, first weekend in the books

So we’ve been here now a whopping five days and already I’m exhausted; and life hasn’t even started yet. Although I probably won’t feel totally at home and comfortable until the Atlanta house is sold, we’re starting to get there here in NY. Had several visitors this weekend including John & Robyn, my in-laws, Rebecca [...]
Met my first neighbor

Dropped Shane off at pre-school this morning after taking the 1.8 mile jog to the train station this morning to pick up my car (Min and I are on one car until we figure out what we’re doing car-wise). On the way back, I was putting up some reflectors in front of my neighborhood because [...]
