Everyone’s your friend in New York City

We went to New York for a quick weekend trip and met up with Valex. Alex captured more photos of the weekend (see his blog post and his flickr set) but I got a few pictures with this one below being my favorite.

It’s Spring!

Happy first day of Spring! The arrival of Spring here is anticlimactic–it is gray and not particularly warm. However, there are several crocus (croci?) in our garden that are starting to flower!

Driving

I drove over 4 hours today for work…about 30 minutes less than the total time I spent at the school where I was working. I will be in the car for a similar amount of time tomorrow as I head into the mountains of Virginia with a stop in Greensboro and/or Winston Salem. [...]

I am thinking it’s a sign…

I think it is strange that UPS is using a song from The Postal Service in a recent ad. I think it is stranger yet that this phenomenon has already been reported months ago on Wikipedia. I am noticing more short snips from obscure-ish bands in ads these days. The quality of [...]

Too cold

I am New Jersey and it is very cold and windy. It was over 70 degrees at home this weekend so this is a complete shock to my southern bones.
Things I like about New Jersey: diners, Princeton, the little towns, Starbucks at rest stops, and the beach. Things I don’t like about [...]
