Tranquility Wrapped in Blue
After an amazing wedding, we cleared out of the Murray Hill Inn with the rest of the troupe around 11AM and made our way back to our apartment. A quick session of packing, last minute bill paying and closing down the house, and we were off to the St. Regis in Manhattan for an evening … Continue reading
From The Top Of A Mountain, To The Bottom Of The Sea.
Well not really the sea, it’s more like a lake, but it sounded more poetic that way. Well, it’s not exactly a natural lake either, but a former quarry that has now become the Mecca for divers in Tri-State area. Another of Pat’s attempts to get me acclimated to the great outdoors was his hope … Continue reading
Meghan the Mountain Goat
Over the weekend of the 4th of July, Meghan added to her list of accolades, winning the official title of “Mountain Goat.” Having spent quite a bit of time in the great outdoors, I would frequently harass Meghan for her “city slicker style,” saying I could not marry a woman who had never spent a … Continue reading

Aside from horrible colds, which I have yet to recover from, we also brought back something far more exciting: our wedding rings! We visited Chicago?s jeweler?s row, only to discover that jewelers seem to have quite … Continue reading

As I was driving to work on Wednesday with my coworker Sean, we were talking about the impending snow storm. I mentioned that I was glad the worst … Continue reading

Back in the High Life Again
Last week, I hit an all time low. Wednesday night, I bolted awake at two in the morning, soaking with cold sweat, with the feeling of spiders crawling all over my skin. I looked around in sheer panic, not recognizing the four walls that seemed to be rapidly closing in on me. After several years … Continue reading
It’s 3am, Do You Know Where Your Children Are?
If you’re Pat and Pat (yes, my parents really are both Pats) your only son was off to LaGuardia at 4am, and is currently enjoying the company of other working slobs in the Delta Crown room. I visited the restroom, and it looks like I smoked something funky, since my eyes are beet red. Ah … Continue reading
My Fiancee: Biker Babe
Due to some ongoing technical difficulties with my mobile phone, I recently had to exchange it for a new one. Before the exchange, I was removing all vestiges of my personal life, and had quite a smile and laugh when it came time to clean out the photos I had taken. The one below is … Continue reading
He’s Back (temporairly)
I am back from Italy, although apparently for a short time. I returned yesterday, and it sounds like work will be sending me to Chicago tomorrow.
