  • Ski Day #6: Loon!

    Ski Day #6: Loon!

    Well Sunday was another ski day. Went to Loon on the bus. We ended up having bus issues (bad alternator) which left us sitting in North Attleborough for 45 minutes. The drive up wasn’t too pretty as the roads were a icy mess. We saw about 5 accidents in total. The skiing was OK. I’m…

  • Moon shots

    Moon shots

    During the packer’s game, I went out on the deck at halftime to shoot the moon. I figured it would be fun to share the shots with everyone. The last shot was taken last night (Monday night) when the moon was only one day from being full.

  • Ski Day #5, Sunday River!

    Ski Day #5, Sunday River!

    Went on another bus trip Saturday. As mentioned before, I escort for New England Action Sports. It’s the only way to go skiing really… Enough advertising though, we went to Sunday River in ME on Saturday. The also had a meltdown 2 weeks ago, but they had had enough time to make some snow, groom…

  • Baby Update:

    Baby Update:

    Had yet another baby checkup yesterday. Everything is going as scheduled. Nikki’s up another 2lbs in 2 weeks which is on track. The babies heart rate was 140 which is also normal. Nikki and I both have head colds though. It was nice to be able to go to the doctor and ask him what…

  • Sick & Snow day.

    Sick & Snow day.

    Well unfortunately Nikki came down with a bit of a cold Friday. Being pregnant means she can’t take anything for it, so she’s been fighting through a sinus cold w/o any sort of decongestant. She woke up today in no shape to go to work, so she stayed home sick. It also happened to snow…

  • Baby Shower!!!

    Baby Shower!!!

    Well we had our baby shower this weekend. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to Debbie (Nikki’s Mom if somehow you’re reading this and don’t know) and Katie (Nikki’s best friend from forever!) and the 3 Aunts, Pat, Tina and Ansoo for putting this together. All I’m taking any credit for at all is taking…

  • Okemo Again!

    Okemo Again!

    Another weekend, another trip. This time to Okemo. The weather took a decided turn for the worse over the past week. When we were at Stowe the week before the mountain hosts told us they were expecting rain and warm temps the next week. Well arriving at Okemo Saturday proved them right. Apparently it had…

  • Leica D-Lux 3

    Leica D-Lux 3

    I finally picked up a P&S camera that “doesn’t suck”. I use quotes because I’m not sure yet. I’ve had a few P&S digital cameras in the past and I’ve hated them all to the point that they rarely get used. So what good are they then? My criteria for the new P&S were as…

  • Stowe again!

    Stowe again!

    Another weekend, another bus trip. This time to Stowe again. Incredible conditions. They’ve had 165″ of snow so far this winter. Unfortunately it’s warm there this week, and supposedly raining today, but the 2 times I’ve been there this year it’s been like western conditions. The terrain at Stowe is also awesome, I just wish…

  • Texas Road House!!!

    Texas Road House!!!

    Nikki and I both had a long hectic day. We had another baby appointment in Providence at 3:45pm. The problem with that is they’re ALWAYS an hour late. Sure enough we walked out right at 5pm. On top of that my car is getting it’s 100k service done to it a Yarrowsport, so Nikki had…

  • PAD 2008!

    PAD 2008!

    Well I’m working on yet another PAD this year.  For those that don’t know what that is, it’s a Photo A Day.  If you haven’t noticed, up top there is a page for it.  If you go in there you’ll see this years PAD on top, and last years under it.  I’ve tried this 2…
