Good time to be a Philly fan

28-Sep-10

Phillies won the NL East for the fourth time in in four seasons, and the Eagles are 2-1 with Michael Vick (the ESPN highlight reel) as the starting QB for the foreseeable future. The Phillies have their axis of evil with the big three (2 Roys and a Hamel) and the Eagles smartly dumped Kolb [...]

Kids, Books

23-Sep-10

Isaac is pulling up on everything. Isaac likes to stand. Isaac is thinking about walking. This child is just nuts. To compound the problem, he doesn’t sleep. What’s waking him up is anyone’s guess. We’ve monitored the temperature in his room, tried different clothes and techniques, and nothing has consistently worked. We’re going to employee [...]

Sports talk, reviews and other stuff

21-Sep-10

Carmelo Anthony wants out of Denver. Badly. Anthony saw the monster born in the East known as the Miami Heat, and now he’s pitching a fit wanting to be traded. The Nuggets originally did not want to trade him, instead thinking they could woo Anthony into staying. Didn’t work for Chris Bosh (Raptors to Miami) [...]

Ass. Kicked.

13-Sep-10

Lisa had an idea to actually do 30 days of Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred since we’d never done it before – I thought it was a good idea and decided to go along with it. Week one is something we’ve been familiar with for quite a while. After a week and a half, [...]

Just a suggestion

10-Sep-10

I suggest asking Lisa about that garlic spaghetti that she has posted on her mommy blog. Then I would suggest making it and inviting me over to have some so I don’t have leftovers taunting me. Just a suggestion. In terms of recipes, #1 would still be the sweet potato gnocchi. I’m not a fan [...]

Odds and Ends

09-Sep-10

iTunes 10 fixed my ipod touch. I’m not sure how, but all the stuttering / slowness disappeared after installing a fresh copy of the latest iTunes on my recently reformatted laptop and synced the two. – I cleared off a number of apps so that I can download podcasts directly (super convenient). I love Wait [...]

Old Cars

07-Sep-10

You know what else I love? Old cars. Look at this one. 1969 Alfa Romeo 1750 Berlina, which is selling for $13.5. If I had that kind of disposable income, this would be my daily driver. Hit the link for more pictures. That, or this: 1968 Mercedes Benz 200D Finally, another swoonworthy vehicle: a heavily [...]

CR-Z

07-Sep-10

Up until recently, Honda really hadn’t done it for me. The styling never appealed to me, the designs didn’t, and the engines are a bit too ‘different’ for my tastes (example: the Civic Si makes most of its power above 7,000 RPM; 160hp but only 121 ft/lb torque). My parents being huge Honda fans are [...]

Because you asked

03-Sep-10

The guy had taken some liberties with his property. Basically, there was the pine tree and holly tree completely blocking his yard from our view. However, it was 1) a fire hazard 2) a wild animal habitat and 3) ate up a lot of our backyard, so we trimmed it. This is what we saw [...]

Finally, September

01-Sep-10

If you’ve been following the kids blog you know that August is a month where our lives get pushed into fast forward. August is Lisa’s birthday, our anniversary, both my parents’ birthdays, around the time when Jaya comes to visit, and when we take most of our trips out of state (if we haven’t done [...]
