Tar Beach

I've been spending a lot of time on the roof this summer.

Martina update

Ceci made a good suggestion; time for an update on Martina Hingis's continued comeback. She is now ranked #13 in the world (up from 9,999 in December of last year). We had a chance to see her at the World Team Tennis event in Mamaroneck a few weeks ago. Here are some pictures of that.

July 31 and August 1 Pictures

No excuses....

I just got lazy and always kept putting off updating this blog. Well, Farrell suggested today that it was time to get rolling with it again, and since it is pretty much the one year anniversary of it, I figured an anniversay post would be in order.

Struggling to get through the hottest and most disgusting summer I can ever remember in this God-forsaken city. (If only I had a car with which to escape it at times.) Last two days have been about 100 degrees (heat index in the 115 range). Like a true masochist, I took 12-14 mile walks both days. Took some good pictures that I'll post here.

Can't think of anything else worth saying.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM!!!!

I LOVE YOU!

"School Sucks!"

That would be a resounding, YES!

on to the semis!

Hingis in the Quarters...

Can she repeat yesterday's performance. Stay with us!

Hingis

Torn

Lindsay or Martina? I am completely torn. Davenport and Hingis face each other today for the first time in a billion years and I don't know who I want to win. Lindsay is my favorite (albeit furiously inconsistent) player. I like her style and sportsmanship, as well as her game when she's "on." Hingis, on the other hand, is in the middle of an impressive comeback, which I've been following with a lot of interest, and I'd really like to see her continue to zoom up the rankings. Any advice?

My cholesterol: 450!

I'm lucky to be alive. This will most likely be my last post.

Dream Product?

Looks like the perfect product to help out my little baby with occasional accidents where the aim is not quite as accurate as it should be. I'll update and let you know how it goes.

Now, if I could only find something for Nuala....

Central Park North

I took the new camera down to the north end of Central Park the other day to get some pictures of the snow remaining from the blizzard before it disappeared completely. I think the north end of the park is really the most beautiful part.

Downward Facing Pug

This is a true story. Whenever Nuala sees one of us roll out our yoga mats, she instinctively runs over to the center of the mat and IMMEDIATELY does her version of the yoga pose "Downward Facing Dog." It never fails. Of course I'm never quick enough with the camera to catch her in the act, but here she is sitting on the mat while Ceci is talking to her on speakerphone.

I promise this will be the last one!

You CAN see my fingerprints!

Love this camera!

You can practically see my fingerprints!!! And this is only on the 3.0 megapixel setting. It goes up to 5.2!

Best Valentine's Day Gift EVER!

F. gave me a new a camera to replace the one that I destroyed over the weekend. (It had pretty much outlived its useful life anyway, and it was four calendar years old, which is like 60 digital camera years!) Nuala was my first willing model:

Biggest Blizzard in NYC History

The National Weather Service said 26.9 inches of snowfall was measured in Central Park at 4:10 p.m., exceeding the previous record of 26.4 inches, set in December 1947.

Looks like we're really getting snow...

The forecast seems to have held out for a pretty big storm. I'm excited about it. I love snow. I wish it would snow every day of the year.
