Commuting

2011-12-08T07:39:00.001-05:00

Nothing makes you miss 2nd shift like driving in the morning rush hour and realizing you've just passed the full amount of time it usually takes to get to work AND back and now using tomorrow's commute time.

I am not happy with United Airlines today. We got to the airport with time to spare. NO attendants to check my 3 oversized bags. Then when someone finally heeds my complaints they say 45 minute cut-off to check bags. Still no help

Bluejay

2011-02-21T22:54:00.002-05:00

There are many ways to tell if you are in the ghetto. Other than hearing "Get the F^@k out da Hood!" screamed from passing cars.
Shoes hanging from telephone wires from above.
upside down signs that in a nicer neighborhood would be fixed weeks ago.
Always a sure sign you're in the ghetto when instead of guitar lessons being advertized on telephone poles it is a ride to the local prison to visit relatives.
And if you miss all of that just count the number of random shopping carts around where there is no grocery store in sight. The higher the number the more ghetto the street.

2011-02-21T20:16:00.002-05:00

Joined a gun club today.

Waiting on players after Celtics Game

2011-02-09T13:53:00.001-05:00

I believe I may have finished the leaves of our nursery tree. 1840 leaves and it feels done.
So I have moved on to bumblebees. I would normally draw them differently but we are trying to match the decor of the room to theme of the baby's bedding.
Not very easy drawing three identical bees with house paint. Next step is the beehive. Bees gotta have a home.

Having a Cat Nap on my Lap

Using my cat Cheddar as a cushion as I work on my Ipad.
Currently working on a couple of creative ideas. Typing up a short story introducing a new character. The title of it is "The Press File" about a investigator, Kaiden Cross, who is trying to discover what is happening to houses that are vanishing, completely vanishing.

Up until a year ago today I was a smoker. Pretty serious one too.
I finally quit at 7 am on February 6th 2010.
Today marks the one year anniversary of that moment. Man it took a lot of effort. I am glad I did it.

2011-02-05T00:11:00.001-05:00

Decided to leave my car behind to get a shot of why there was dead stopped traffic into the Ted Williams Tunnel.
Walk a mile before I found what was holding up traffic. Two guys working in an electric closet.
I was unimpressed...Also a hint to truck drivers. Don't blow your exceedingly load horn in a tunnel at a photographer who doesn't have ear protection.

I ended up walking the 1.6 miles through the whole tunnel to get to the other side.

2011-02-04T03:05:00.000-05:00

Checked out a real enjoyable band tonight. Spitting Vinnies were playing at the Green Dragon. Nice to hear a live band most of the time and these guys were enjoyable. They play the Green Dragon often.
Ended up staying through to closing hanging with three other photogs Dave, Barry, and Ted.

2011-02-03T23:41:00.000-05:00

After cleaning my own roof I had to do a story today about someone else who should have. Their roof collapsed while they were still in it. There have been so many roof collapses over the past few days
My reporter and I were glad to be out of there right after this picture. Cold snap brought the temps down to pretty frigid.

2011-02-03T13:42:00.001-05:00

had a nice view of my neighborhood today
cause i had a garage roof to clean off
i gave it my best shot but was really careful
cause all i wanted to fall on my car was the snow

2011-02-03T13:15:00.002-05:00

was covering another storm
and it got me bar to nose with a field goal in a snow farm
they need the snow farms to store the excess snow this season
found a basketball hoop in the snow.
needless to say I have snow fatigue

2011-02-01T21:59:00.001-05:00

My favorite choice of the many treats we tried was the key lime pie tart

I walked up these stairs that my GPS thought was a road to get close to a crime scene in revere where there was a gun shot through a glass door.

2011-01-29T14:57:00.002-05:00

Just in case the wash your hands sign wasnt clear enough.

2011-01-26T16:29:00.001-05:00

Stuck in holiday style traffic on the way to the south shore for weather coverage.

2011-01-26T14:01:00.001-05:00

Just 2000 more.

2011-01-26T13:58:00.002-05:00

Applying the 1000Th leaf to my tree.

2011-01-25T21:36:00.002-05:00

We taped up the spare room to start painting

And I used a stamp to put 865 leaves on the corner of the room

and this is what the tree looks like now.

I believe it will take 3000 leaves to fill it out completely

2011-01-24T13:15:00.000-05:00

when looking under the bed I found...
A bag full of hangers? How useless.
Then my next struggle was discovering the mattress would not fit up the attic hole.
but i got the rest of the furniture from the room up there... (with Jason's help...Thanks buddy)
Now I am ready to paint some cool things on the bedroom walls.

2011-01-23T22:10:00.001-05:00

Froze an egg @ work tonight.

2011-01-23T16:13:00.001-05:00

Ride-a-long with Boston EMS. Giving blankets to the homeless.

2011-01-23T13:15:00.000-05:00

I am now faced with the difficulty of changing this spare bedroom over to a nursery.

Thankfully we already had a nice gender neutral color for the walls

I found a stack of nailgun nails lying around from when I did worl in here last.

I wonder what else is beneath this mattress

2011-01-21T16:37:00.002-05:00

End of Patriots post season... Then we had to stand in the cold for 4 hours... the last hour the temperature dropped 15 degrees I SWEAR!

2011-01-15T13:18:00.002-05:00

I discovered why some of the cars were covered in dust.

So he could write his estimates of the work needed.

they got right to work and I held the utility light for them.

And waited for my new bumper to be attached.

2011-01-15T12:34:00.002-05:00

Once i got into the garage... they kept using the new word I just used...

"Frio, FRIO"

It was freezing in the garage.

I did get my first look at the bumper that would be replacing my old one.

2011-01-15T12:21:00.002-05:00

I went to Lawrence today to get my new mechanic to fix my cars bumper.

I had my doubts... especially since I had to walk through a very dark hallway to get to his garage.

I wasn't extremely worried though seeing as how my patch job was anything but successful.

2011-01-13T16:18:00.002-05:00

Spent the last two days working the opposite schedule to my normal one.
Whew.
Working on a new short horror script about a succubus.

2011-01-12T01:39:00.002-05:00

Terrible road conditions fifteen minutes after the snow started this morning. WISH I WAS IN BED.

Night Outside

2008-09-02T21:34:00.001-04:00

We enjoyed our first night with the new firepit I set up. (And got a permit for)

New Patio Lights

2008-09-02T20:43:00.003-04:00

Here are my new outdoor lights for my patio.

2008-09-02T17:27:00.002-04:00

I put a firepit out near our new patio I built. And I also put in some new lights that are put up around the deck looking down on the new patio furniture.

2008-09-01T15:17:00.000-04:00

I went to the Hopkinton State Fair in New Hampshire today for my birthday. I saw huge pumpkins and tons of normal sized animals. I then saw one of the famed covered bridges of NH.

I then had to save this adorable fiberglass cow from a barn that was going to be destroyed. As you may know I am a huge supported of PEFA. (The People for the Ethical treatment of Fiberglass Animals) Checkout www.pefaonline.com to help the cause.

Started up on this blog again.

2008-08-31T00:01:00.000-04:00

Hope you come back to me as readers. I had a good time two years ago when I did this before. I don't quite know what I'll be putting here but what the hell?

Here is a picture.

Bush being compared to a monkey.

So why is comparing Obama to a monkey racist instead of just unoriginal?

2006-09-15T22:28:00.001-04:00

Doesn't a cricket on the threshold mean good luck?
