We're still working on our Halloween costumes for this year, though we've got almost all the materials. I can't recall if I mentioned it or not but our 4-year-old son is obssessed with all the Mario characters from Nintendo, so he wants us all to dress up in that theme. He's going as Mario, his Continue Reading

27SepBoxes of Music
My grandmother lived in an apartment in the Bronx. This is my dad's mom I'm talking about. I never knew my grandfather, though, as he died when my dad was just a teenager. But we'd all go visit Grandma Pearl fairly regularly in her cozy (not small, but medium sized) apartment. And for my sister Continue Reading
25SepHow many apples can kill a man?
Saturday was the first day of Fall, so we celebrated by heading upstate to beautiful Warwick to go apple picking along with some family friends and their 4 year old son. The weather couldn't have been more perfect and we ended up spending roughly 4 hours at the place. (It was big. REALLY big. As Continue Reading

21SepI've got a secret...
"I've got a secret, I've been hiding under my skin. My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain I.B.M. So if you see me acting strangely, don't be surprised. I'm just a man who needed someone, and somewhere to hide." Okay, so it's an old tune (any guesses out there? This one's pretty Continue Reading
20SepWolverine owes me 97 minutes
So tonight the kids gave us a nice present: they went to bed early! Lately they've been little monsters chattering away (or screaming) for hours until 9 or 10 each night. Which doesn't give us much "alone time" to relax at night and catch up on some TV shows or movies, etc. But tonight they Continue Reading
19SepThe Art of Screwing Up Sushi
The first time I ever made sushi was a nightmare. I was a senior in college and had just gotten into the whole sushi craze. Granted I was a semi-vegetarian at the time, so I was only eating the veggie sushi, but even now, it's that combo of rice and seaweed that really makes a Continue Reading
18SepPeter, Paul and Mary are dead to me
Let me preface this entry by stating that I'm running on roughly 2 1/2 hours of sleep. (Just in case anyone's keeping score out there: Our little one's got a cold and decided to wake up 4 times at night the previous night, whereas my wife got real sick yesterday and was up from about Continue Reading
18SepLunch Break Savings
Quick post in honor of the Yankees kicking butt last night and the BoSox losing, which puts the Yanks only 3 1/2 back of first place. Woot! No matter what team you're rooting for (yes, even Tigers and Red Sox fans can take advantage), MLB.com is having a nice 4-hour sale today: Get 20% off Continue Reading
17SepBabyproofing Gone Wild
I'm not the handiest guy in the world. I'll admit it. (Yeah, they don't call me Handy Andy for nothing. Actually they don't call me that for anything. In fact, they don't call me Andy, probably because I don't like it. But I'm digressing...) So when we were preparing for our first born's imminent arrival Continue Reading
