The Friendliest Ghost You Know

Lindsay replaced her stolen bike early this year, and I replaced mine while visiting Seattle in March. The weather has been crappy enough since we got back that I have been unable to really take her out and ride.

Yesterday was beautiful, though, and I decided to check off a "Need to do before leaving New York" item and get a nice ride in by circumscribing the island of Manhattan. It was a 31 mile, nearly 3 hour ride with moments of awesome, irksome, and where-the-hell-am-I? And cell phone pictures!

The Awesome: A tall ship at the Southstreet seaport

Directly under the Brooklyn Bridge

A cherry tree by on the west side bike path

The Irksome:

Thanks, Manhattan, for the fantastic signage!

Where-the-hell-am-I?

The signage gets significantly worse the further north and east you are.

And lastly, my new ride: bought in Seattle, shipped to New York, and totally awesome

She's named Casper.

agog.

i, too, am flabbergasted.

nor'easter!

we're in one. it's my first. somehow i thought it would be more dramatic; really, there's just a lot of rain. which is kind of nice as an excuse to not blow dry my hair.

Almost Famous

I recently filmed a web-only commercial for a company called L1feL0ck. Some people (Lindsay included) think the woman in the background playing my wife looks like Lindsay. Alas, it is not. In all it's glory, I give you:



The site where I found this video (the producers didn't tell me it was finished) suggests you "click on tags to find similar videos: funny, sexy, animals, commercial, jail, l1fel0ck, chickens, geic0, identitytheft, insurance"

he is risen! let's have gravy!

it is the most beautiful thing.

chris thinks it is odd that i'm in love with this gravy boat when i don't like gravy, but i know some of you understand what it is about graceful shapes and shiny things. this gravy boat. is. perfect. and i have wanted it for months.

mama, you are amazing.

In the papers

Well, it's official now, because it's been published in The Olympian.

And we used the Pharmaceutical Ad Shot™ from the engagement pictures, to boot.

Her: He has herpes . . .
Him: . . . and she doesn't . . .
Her: . . . and we want to keep it that way.
