Goodnight Irene...

So for the second time in a week, there was the threat of natural disaster.

And for the second time, it was el busto.

Come on Irene.....

I'm kind of thinking that this Hurricane needs a theme song. 


Can Dexi's midnight runners really be doing anything??







(Caution Big Hair Ahead)

Quick Pic

Not much of a story here,  my friend Kim came over last night to help fit Mora's bridesmaid dress and I thought she looked very pretty standing there.

Dude, can you move the train?

Taurus v. Train (My car is the one with the cool car carrier)

What do you do when you get double parked by a train?

I was faced by this dilemma last night when walking to my car in Harrison.  The tracks are like a billion years old and I didn't even think they used them anymore. Turns out I was wrong.....

So how you do you move a train?  Just ask.  The engineer slid the sucker down twenty feet or so and I was good to go.

He even honked the horn for me.

License to Wed....

Well as you can see by the ol' timer in the upper left, the big day is drawing nigh rather rapidly.  Krissy and I took some time this morning and went over to the clerks office on Worth Street  to get our wedding license.

Shake Rattle and Roll.....

So where were you..........

I was at my office in downtown NYC.  I had skipped lunch so when the first vibrations hit, I thought "man I am getting lightheaded."  Then the shaking continued and you could feel the floor rolling, thats the best way I can think of to describe it.  My guess is that the building is designed that way to sort of distribute the energy
.

7 WTC from SE of the Pit

Now I work in 7 World Trade Center which is the only building so far to be rebuilt after 9-11,  so we tend to take these sort of things very seriously.  Everyone did their best "feets dont fail me now" impression and headed downward (fast)  the whole building was empty in like five minutes it seemed.

Sweeping the Nation......

This is a video that my daughter and her friend Eva made over the summer.  They really did a great job, although I am a little bit annoyed that the recycling guy didnt pick up all the wedding shower boxes from the end of the driveway:)

In a Pig's Eye

Sorry for being so slow in posting,  between work, wedding plans and some pesky computer issues, I have had problems posting over the last few days....

Someone who was reading this blog was slightly curious as to the stuff that Krissy and I have been receiving for wedding presents gifts.  As I said some of these, at least to my mind are slightly......redundant.

So I figured that I would show a few of these items  and let the people decide for themselves.

Today's item is this.......

The Salt Pig

Boy Christmas

I'm in a board game club.  (I know pretty geeky)

Actually I run  a board game club (worse still)

Still its a lot of fun,  It gives me the chance to get out of the house every now and then be with a bunch of smart people who really are fun to be around.  Our regular meeting was last Monday, but Krissy demurred, she was sick but had to go into work.  She got home, ate dinner and crashed.

She missed it, because there was a wedding present and this waiting for us.....

Note that this also a welcome back cake for one of our members who was away for the summer.  Hey how much cake can someone make?

Last Day (Finally)

Mora Looking out the window at the light

I never did get my camera back, but I noticed that Maddie posted most of the pictures on Facebook the other day.  Plus I had Krissy's pics as well.

Our last day was probably the most pleasant days of week.  The weather finally moderated a little bit and we ventured down to Hatteras to see the lighthouse.
