The Orchid Show is currently running at the New York Botanical Garden.  So of course Renee wanted to go.  And there was a nice enough day recently where we went down to the Bronx one morning and strolled the grounds for a couple hours.  First (and for Renee the only) order of business: make our [...]

My friend Joy asked if I cared to elaborate on a comment I made on Facebook a few weeks ago, a comment where I wrote “the reason my wife and I are together is because of her dog”.
It’s true.
Back in early 2002 I was sent to work on Renee’s computer in her old office.  Apparently, [...]

I just returned home from voting.  I’m feeling a little nervous, a little anxious, but overall I feel real good.
I parked, walked in, found the table for my district, and signed my name. There were a total of four booths in the courtroom, two for each district.  I was directed to one of them and [...]

No, not the weekend.  I knew that was going to be over relatively quickly.  I’m talking about The Dark Knight.
This film went on for far, far too long.  It was a great movie, I’ll grant them that, but it could have ended a lot sooner (and left us with a better taste) if everyone did [...]

It’s no secret that 2008’s heel hasn’t stopped grinding Renee and me into the ground.  Hell, it’s been kicking a lot of people in the taint, I know we do not have the monopoly on that, that’s for certain.  But there aren’t too many experiences that generate the same nausea-inducing feeling I have right now.  [...]

To say I’ve been lax in getting updates out is an understatement.  I’ve been virtually nonexistent on FriendFeed and have posted less on the forums I frequent.
However, on the plus side, I’ve gotten a little bit more reading done.  Batman: Under The Hood (volumes one and two), the 20th Anniversary Edition of Batman: The Killing [...]

We were finally able to break in Renee’s membership to the New York Botanical Garden and what a great time we had.
We were lucky with the weather, although I wouldn’t have said no to a breeze now and then.  Renee was in heaven and I was happy to be there.  I could have snapped more [...]

I think this weekend was a good one.  I was able to mow the lawn (much to Nanuuq’s happiness, as in some areas, the grass was up to her tuchas) and help Renee in the yard as well as run through our usual errands.  We also made it to Walmart where I was able to [...]

Wrapping up a real nice weekend.  Only thing missing is some wine…
It’s always nice to drive out to Adams Fairacre Farms
Catching up on Spectacular Spider episodes from the past couple weeks while working on my little something for the upcoming comics podcast theme week.
I need to reconfigure the Treo since it’s screwed up more than [...]

Our weekend was pretty uneventful. It was nice having one where we didn’t have to run hither and yon and could take our time doing it.
Friday night we went to check on our friend Karen, who’s recovering from surgery, and have dinner at her place. Saturday, the three of us drove up to [...]
