Last Sunday just after midnight we had a brush fire in the field behind our house which has been labeled as arson. On Thursday at 2:00 am we were awaken to the sounds of returning fire engines. The field was burning again. This time the firefighters already knew how to get to the field so [...]
I took Maegan to Paramount’s Carowinds Amusement Park today. It was a lot of fun. Welcome to Carowinds. Spongemaegan. Maegan’s first real roller coaster. She was scared to go at first but she loved it by the end, which was a reoccurring theme for the day. She also went on a different roller coaster too. [...]
It’s 1:50 a.m. and the last fire engine just left. Behind my house is open farm land. Here’s a photo I took of my back yard five years ago when we had so much rain that it was flooding. But we ‘re currently in an extensive drought, without any significant rainfall in months. So in [...]
… but not for me. I just got an email from Chris, my best friend from High School. I haven’t heard from him in years. He wrote that he’s moving from Manhattan to Atlanta. I just found this news to be an odd coincidence because I know that my best friend from Junior High School [...]
Good news from my alma mater, SUNY Plattsburgh. PSUC [Plattsburgh State University College] accepted a record-setting low 49.4 percent of applicants for the incoming class of 2007.

I didn’t play disc golf for a full month because of the incredible heat we’ve had in Charlotte all of August. On Thursday I played in my first tournament in 6 weeks, and [...]
I’ve previously blogged about my historic 1946 Town of Huntington Planning Map. Today I learned about Yahoo’s new Map Mixer application, which overlays uploaded maps over the ones found on Yahoo. Naturally I tried it out with my 1946 map to share with others. Aside from progress in general, it’s pretty cool to fiddle with [...]
Sorry I haven’t been blogging much lately. It’s been a combination of not much time plus not much to write about. But in any case I have enough time to write “Happy Birthday, Dee.”
Darah can only keep her head up for a few minutes at a time but she was still able to get in a bouncy seat (or whatever these things are called) for the first time.
On top all of the other damage to our house (that still isn’t being fixed yet), last week our living room television broke. This is the first time we’ve had to take the upcoming end of analog broadcasting into consideration. Since there’s no point in buying a new set that won’t even operate in a [...]
