moving ad

i didn't use these guys (guess i'm not hip enough to fit their demo), but i did have them over to give a quote and they were very professional and courteous. even offered to drop their price to get the business, but i had already chosen another firm by then. still, i thought this piece of advertising was pretty amusing...

first pix of the house

Two wheeled exploration

Les and I got our gluttony on this weekend with Evan and Sam. We checked out the Hemlock Hill Farm, which was a beautiful 20 minute drive from home. We enjoyed water views on both sides of the road, and the black baby seemed to enjoy hugging corners on windy 2 lane roads...We picked up some locally raised lamb, chicken and straight from the swine bacon and proceeded to cook up a couple of feasts.

It was pretty tough to motivate on to the bicicletta, but I got my first Westchester bike ride on today. Shame I can't follow it up with a fat tire, but I'll settle for the fake microbrew Michelob that I ended up with last time I went shopping. Anyway, here's a look at the route I took...straight past Martha and Ralph's pads...not too shabby. Martha is rocking a sweet greenhouse too...hopefully I'll be able to post some more of these routes as I work the legs back into shape...

first post=someone else's creativity

So begins the blogging adventure. Sure its several years after I first intended to do this, but I figure I'm gonna have a little extra time for it on Metro North.

Anyway, check this out. NYC as depicted in legos. So creative that it deserves to be the first "city" post. credit to the artist...

Future updates will include stuff i love about nyc, new discoveries in the country - OK, fringe of the 'burbs - and whatever else captures my imagination while yo-yo-ing between the two.

BTW, I'd highly recommend a musical exploration of the blog title...you can start here:
