With all of the Lance Armstrong followers raging through the Alps in the Tour de France, some friends of ours were kind enough to host their own sporting competition: Le Tour de Franzia! It was complete with spandex, 17 boxes of the good stuff Franzia, and even a yellow-jersey wearer. It was supposed to have [...]
I’m sure I would have been just as excited to see a shuttle launch while in an airplane.
Last weekend Audrey and I were trolling around Central Park and ate some brunch at the Boat House. It’s a pretty cool restaurant that seems like a prime target for heavily organized Mother’s Day/Easter celebrations.

So after visiting Shea in its final year, I was stoked to get the chance to see Yankee Stadium in what is also its final season. I wish I was a bigger baseball fan, because I might have cared a good deal more, but I suppose it was a cool thing to do on a [...]
