The Crusher
My sister got me a new toy. I could do this all day. It’s been that kind of week. – b
Arroz Con Gandules
This past Sunday we went to Jen’s aunt Neti’s house for a family get together. Neti had been practicing her Arroz Con Gandules (a Puerto Rican rice and bean dish) all week. Jen’s Grandmother used to make it for us all the time. This was the first time since she passed away we would have […]
Gotta New Bike
It rides like a race cam – all rough and ugly at idle, but hot damn fast when you’re standing on the pedal. It’s got all kinds of attitude too. It’s like “Pedal me or get the F off!” more later. – b
Pool Closing
After one last swim… It was time to close the pool for the fall. Since our bottom drain died a few years ago, it’s been tough draining the water down to the proper level. This year I figured it out. Instead of using the little puddle pump I have and waiting hour upon hour, I […]
Little Baby Bird
We’ve totally figured out the trick to feeding Abigail. Basically feed her whatever you’re eating. She’s had bacon (the nitrate free kind), carrots, potatoes, onions, red peppers, pork, pancake, beef, etc. As long as we’re eating it and it’s safe for her, she gobbles it right up. Like a little baby bird, she eagerly awaits […]
All Fired Up
The temperatures are finally breaking. The wind is starting to blow. I’m getting excited for winter already! Got a couple of trips planned again. Format will be a little easier this year (i.e. heated cabin in the heart of the Adirondacks), but should include more people in the fun. – b
Slept the Night
Wednesday night Abigail slept from 11pm until 9am the next morning. There were some squeaks about 1:30am, but she put herself back to sleep. Took 7 months. – b
Pebbles
You may remember the post about the butternut squash episode. Basically feeding Abigail anything started to go that way. She wouldn’t eat chicken and she wouldn’t eat egg. Until tonight. Yeah. That’s a chicken bone she’s gnawing on. Tonight she ate chicken, broccoli Rabe (i.e. Rapini), a couple hunks of garlic and corn. The difference? […]
Product to Market
Back in June I switched jobs. I went from a giant/huge software monstrosity to a start-up. The start-up is run by a friend of mine. I worked for him before at his last start-up, but it was well established by that point. This time it’s still a start-up. There are only 5 full time employees. […]
