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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Coming home from work Friday night there was a pretty bad accident on the way into our neighborhood. Click this link to see where. Apparently there were 2 pick up trucks trying to go around that corner at the same time and neither one liked where the yellow lines were… One truck that seemed to […]

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 […]

I also Picked up a canon 24mm TS-E this week. The 24mm TS-E is to complete my TS-E collection. These are odd slow lenses to work with but I love them. They’re reminiscent of working with a 4×5 camera for me. I love the mechanical nature of them. I also tend to get fewer but […]

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 […]

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 […]

Wow, Lars sent me a link he thought I might be interested in… This is truly amazing. It’s an online vector art generator that works from simple bitmaps. It actually works better using small files because they upload and convert faster. Once you have a vector it can be as big as you want, so […]

So I went to Okemo Wednesday. It was a beautiful day on the hill. No drama getting there as I remembered everything this time… It was about 20ºF on the hill, so a comfortable temp. I skied with the camera again, so I came home with more pictures. The snow was only alright… I love […]

Merry Christmas to anyone out there reading the blog!!! We’ve had a busy, but very fun couple of days. Christmas ever we took my parents to Ikea for the first time for fun (we like their stuff and my parents wanted to see why). Then we had a party the Katie and Matt’s in the […]
