So, finally I made it to the Boston Public Gardens this past weekend. I've been here for 2+ years, and have been to the Commons countless times, but this weekend the weather was spectacular, and my friend T mentioned heading down there, so I figured I should take the opportunity and join in on the trek.Of course, while I was there I took a couple of photos which you can see here.There's even

This week I couldn't decide whether to go with something I had made before, or something new. In the end, I figured I'd make something simple, but tasty, which is always a good way to go. Since potatoes by themselves don't really do much as a main course, I picked up a loaf of garlic bread and a bunch of asparagus from Stop n' Shop.While the asparagus slowly steamed, I heated up the oven,

The majority of this past weekend was spent near or on (or in, briefly) the Charles River near the Footbridge near Harvard Square. I was taking part in the 2006 Boston Dragonboat Festival along with Pete, Larry, Joy, and a host of other brave souls. Saturday morning the rainy gloomy weather put a damper on things, but we managed to stay strong, and our boat, 'The Boat for Kids Who Don't Paddle

YAVA had a lovely evening spent at the Wonder Bar in Allston to raise money for our AIDS Walk team (taking place tomorrow).  Thus far, prior to totalling the donations from last night, we've raised almost $3,000! And of course as is my custom, I took some pictures, so check them out!

While getting ready to depart from Houston, the small screens above our heads in the Boeing 737-700 tilted down into the 'optimal viewing angle', and a bald man introducing himself as the CEO let us know that Continental operates the youngest fleet of aircraft in the United States. This fact set on the back of my mind during the flight, and at some point later, I had to use the 'facilities'.

In the continuing effort to get out and do something about it, I'm going to be taking part in the 2006 Boston AIDS Walk on June 4, 2006.I'm walking with a team of volunteers from YAVA, a local volunteer organization here in Boston.

Tonight's cooking experiment was actually a concoction brought together by my coworker Danielle, who threw it together one night in her kitchen without really knowing what she was making! As it turns out, it's *delicious*... it's a great combination of apples, celery, and onions put together in a nice relish, with the meat of the meal taken up by seitan 'chicken'.

With the weather finally turning better, and the month of May being almost over, it was high time to take a drive out to the DeCordova Sculpture Museum. Among the great sculptures they have their in the outdoor museum are a trojan piggybank, which was pretty cute. Per the usual forms and customs, I took a couple of photos while I was there, all of which you can see here. Here are a few of my

Larry and I trekked out to the Milton area to take part in the Hike for Humanity, which through generous contributions from some of you, and some other folks, we managed to raise more than $500 for the cause. To repay your generousity, I took some pictures to show you the splendor of nature and amazing views we had to endure while hiking through the wilderness for a good cause. Enjoy! I know

So finally, afer eight or so straight days of ridiculous amounts of rain (record-setting, in fact), the sun came out long enough for me to head down to the Charles River and take a couple of pictures from the Mass. Ave. bridge both before dark and a bit after. Of course, as usual, I have posted these pictures to my Flickr site, which features pictures other than those I shall now post here:

Last night's experiment was the Spinach Ciabatta and Butter Casserole. It used 'Gruyerre' cheese (from Switzerland!), and smelled fantastic. Of course, because of me being silly and not completely reading the recipe, it ended up not coming out of the oven until around 10:30. Needless to say, I didn't get a chance to enjoy any of it last night, but very soon I shall, and I'm guessing it's going

Hey all you praying-types out there (and I know you read this). My mom goes under the knife, or scalpel, or scope tomorrow morning to have her gall bladder removed. It's a routine out-patient procedure and doesn't present any amazing difficulties... but it's still a surgery.So any prayers for a safe surgery for my mom would be appreciated. She goes in at 10.

Some folks have been asking me how to pledge support for the Hike for Humanity on the weekend of May 20th.  In order to share your support, all you need to do is write a check to 'Habitat for Humanity', and send it in the mail to me to be collected with the other pledges.  It's just that simple!  If you need my address, let me know via comments or email and I'll be happy to provide it Thanks

Tonight's experiment is brought to you by late nights and really, really spicy food. Yum.. yum..Man this was good. Took a while to make, AND I set off the fire alarm, but it was well worth it. I can tell you're salivating right now. Ewww, wipe that up!

But I swear, I'll be running it again before too long. The 2006 Boston Marathon (as I'm sure you're seeing on countless other Bostonite blogs hereabouts) fell on a beautiful day for running, though there was considerable wind off and on along the course.  For my part, I decided to set up near the 40k mark; just past the St. Mary's stop on the C-Line.  This gave me a great opportunity to play

Accompanied by a good number of friends carrying libations from many nations, the boys of 48 Heath St. went forth on a journey of froth, bringing together some of the tastiest beers to be had by anyone, ever.My personal favorite remains Fraoch, the Scottish Heather Ale. Out of the choices I hadn't had before, I'd have to say the Ommegang was probably the best new choice. It's a Belgian Abbeyist

"The archbishop of Canterbury, the leader of the world's Anglicans, says he is opposed to teaching creationism in schools." "And for most of the history of Christianity ... there's been an awareness that a belief that everything depends on the creative act of God is quite compatible with a degree of uncertainty or latitude about how precisely that unfolds in creative time," Williams said.

I'm selling my laptop It's been a great piece of equipment, and I've really had a great time with it.  When the keyboard started acting funky, Dell fixed it for me for free, and touched up the screen while they were at it.  I haven't decided whether to get a new laptop, or just stick with the Home Theater PC I have now instead.  Oh well. If you or anyone you know is interested in securing a new

Seriously, these made me laugh out loud at my desk, which wrought the ire of... well no one really. I'm pretty sure the guy who sits in the next space over is wondering what is wrong with me.

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse... Take the headcold I had last week (causing me to miss 1.5 days of work), mix in a liberal amount of food poisoning (thanks, Stop and Shop), and then just a dash of imminent blizzard, and you've got the right mix for quite possibly the best Monday ever! Pete is home with worse symptoms of food poisoning than myself, so at least I know I don't have it

This won't be what you're expecting. You read the title and thought, well, I wonder what that's about. I'm going to tell you here, in the first paragraph, that it isn't what you think it is. You might be surprised, or if you know me (as some people do) you might not. It certainly won't be about Valentine's Day, so if you're looking for flowery messages to a secret special someone, you had

So, for the past few years, ever since I lived with a nice young guy who was Catholic, I've managed to give up something challenging for Lent. For Forty days, I gave up sex. I gave up alcohol. Last year I gave up eating meat (which has been the only one I stuck with, so far), but this year, nothing is coming to mind. I realize I have no obligation to give up anything for Lent, but making a

If you enjoyed Cleolinda's "Phantom" in 15 minutes, I recommend checking out 'The Editing Room', which was updated today to include abridged (and funny) script treatments for all three of the Lord Of The Rings movies. I enjoyed the heck out of the movies, but the treatments don't pull any punches. Enjoy!

I enjoy my sleep. Make no mistake about it. Like most people, without enough sleep I tend to get sleepy, grumpy... irritable. I don't like heading to work on 5 hours of sleep, because I know I'm not going to be my usual self. Last night, our upstairs neighbor (who I really like, he's a cool dude) was out of the building. He works as an RN or something, and keeps odd hours for work. At some

Dirty Bomb possibly headed to Boston: It's not so much the fear of a nuclear disaster in Boston that makes me dislike this news, it's that the state and local government seem to be somewhat lax in their pursuit of the people they have identified as being involved in it.

This is the type of movie where to say too much would be to give the entire thing away. Things you should know about this movie: Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, and Hilary Swank all deserve whatever awards they recieve for their amazing work, and probably more than they will get. Each plays a crucial role in the film, both in the main plot of the movie (a woman boxer struggling to make it to the

Kill Bill: Volume II: Why yes, the bride was back. The culmination of Quentin Tarantino's latest work really showed us how brutal the U.S. cinema could continue to be, as Q. wove a tale of family lost and revenge. Uma Thurman and the rest of the cast did a bang up job getting really banged up, and while some of the action might have been a little over the top, no one can argue with a sword
