Donut Plant

I forgot to mention, we went to the Donut Plant yesterday for Drew’s send-off breakfast. It was awesome, maybe the best donuts I’ve ever had. We got the tres leches and blackout cake-style donuts and a vanilla cream-filled coconut and a strawberry jelly and vanilla glazed yeast-style. The vanilla cream was NOT a dense, thick [...]

Weekend Wrap-up

We dropped Andrew off with the YMCA staff members yesterday for his first week of camp. He was pretty excited to go and I hope he comes back complaining that he couldn’t stay a second week. He is going to camp McAlister, up by Hugenot, NY. The activities of the day are canoeing, swimming, horseback [...]

Barcelona!

While on vacation last week, I stumbled across a “special” fare to Barcelona. So, K & I quickly determined the best dates (Nov 6-16, right after her NY marathon) and booked our tickets. Total fare per person on this nonstop flight was $325! Including taxes and fees! What a deal! Now, I’m trying to find [...]

Only in NY: Waterfalls

That’s what I saw on my Thursday run. I kept running, but noticed several people watching the waterfall, a couple of people taking pics, with what appeared to be professional equipment and a reporter with a TV crew. Fearing the wrath of the summer sun, I just kept running, hoping to finish my [...]

Pizza, Pizza

After random book club members dispersed, John, Molly, QB and myself stuck around Solas for some more chit-chatting.  Luckily QB got another couple of drinks because we were kinda threatened by the bartender there, who was annoyed that we had the back booth but only bought drinks at happy hour prices.  Whatever, it’s not that [...]

My Food Post

UPDATE: Seeing how I almost never read a post before publishing, there were a bunch of spelling errors and randomness. I cleaned it up a little.
I’ve been wanting to write a post about my take on food for awhile. As someone who loves to eat, drink and learn about food, I spend a decent amount [...]

Snedecker Wedding, Back in NYC, Drew Here

We’re back in NYC after about a week in the NW for me and a few days for Kelly. Our trips back are usually pretty busy and this one was no exception. I was going back for work as well as to attend my friend Gabe’s wedding as a groomsman. On top of that, the [...]

Diesel Does the Wii

He’s doing the hula-hoop game.  He looks silly and I’m laughing like a retarded hyena.  Still, it’s funny stuff.

West Coast

Keeping on, keeping on; I woke up this morning at 5:45 am, unaware of where I was or what happened the night before. This always seems to happen to me when I wake up in the Chow-Greiner’s basement bedroom. It took me a minute to put it all together. I’m in Seattle and nothing much [...]

We’re Melting, We’re Melting!

So I guess they decided to skip spring and move right into summer. A heat wave engulfed NYC, and for the first time since I moved here, I really started to think that maybe I wouldn’t make it in this city.
Saturday: 95 degrees
Sunday: 97 degrees
What the hell is happening here (no [...]
