Tree Vault Project
It took some time to complete but I think it came out pretty nice. If you live in NYC you probably know what a tree vault is. Basically it is the piece of land between the curb and your sidewalk that the city usually plants a tree in. Well many years ago the tree that was there forever died and was taken down. The city never replaced the tree so I took it upon myself to do it with many different trees that could not stand up to the harsh winters and the salt the city throws on the streets.

Sunbathing?
Er’ summer is not here yet! But don’t try to tell that to my cat! She decided that a cereal box on a hot sunny deck is enough to make it feel like summer. She didn’t even mind the fact that the night before the raccoons had tossed the recyclables from the bin all over the place. Read more »

R.I.P. – Sassy…
Today is probably one of the worst days in my life. My dog Sassy of 13 years passed away late last night. I don’t just consider her any old dog, she was my friend, my partner, she was someone who would just listen when nobody else would. She could cheer you up just by looking at her. All dogs are unique in one way or another, but Sassy was a true one of a kind. She was protective of my children and guardian of the house. She got along with everyone! She was forced to endure bringing two children into [...] Read more »
Basketball = Fun?
First let me just say that I am not anywhere near a sports fan. I don’t watch sports on tv, I rarely go to any sporting events unless someone gives me tickets and I feel I have to go then. I am more of the geeky type that would rather code php on my laptop then attend a baseball game in Yankee Stadium. Anyway my feelings towards sports has changed a bit since my Daughter has joined the Basketball team at her school. They have only played Two games so far, but I have attended both and all I can [...] Read more »
Day Trip
Today was cool, I have never been to the Kensico Dam in Westchester County. I took both kids and met my friend from work and his son and went to spend the day at the Kensico Dam. The kids took their bikes and we adults went roller blading (well I tried to roller blade), I now have a blister on my right foot from the roller blades. I have been through three sets of roller blades but I can’t seem to find a good one. I need one that has great support for my ankles as well as feels real [...] Read more »
How do you do nature?
Nature at it finest :) And a little bike riding for me… I must say that we had a great day and alot of fun in Van Cortlandt Park. When you are out there climbing rocks and hiking in the woods you feel as though you are a million miles away from the urban community that you are right smack in the center of. :) Phil Read more »
Toothfairy where are you?
Well today my sons second tooth fell out. I am still amazed since he is 7 years old and has only lost 2 teeth. My daughter lost a handfull of teeth by the time she was 6. I know this is not a big deal because everyone is different and grows at different stages. It is just very interesting to me to see the differences between two siblings. Anyway I hope the toothfairy comes and brings Michael some cold hard cash. :) Phil March 26th, 2006: Just as a followup, the toothfairy came and left $5.00! Whoot! :) Phil Read more »
