Sisters : May 29, 2003 : Milwaukee, WI

I bet Stephanie finds it hard to believe that an entire month has passed since she first laid eyes on her new baby sister. I can’t wait to see them both on Wednesday!

In The Pantry

Jessica in the Pantry
Jessica, Oak Creek, WI

(to be sung to the tune of “In The Garage” by Weezer)

In The Pantry

I’ve got posters on the wall
My favorite rock group Kiss
I’ve got Ace Frehley
I’ve got Peter Criss
Waiting there for me
Yes I do,I do

In the pantry I feel safe
No one cares about my ways
In the pantry, where I belong
No one hears me sing this song
In the pantry
In the pantryyyy

Ok that should have been more creative.. but ask Jeannette, I have no skillz. my brain is fried from the heat.. any suggestions?

Urban Photo Safari

Mark Photographing Bleecker Street
Mark-Caught in the Act, West Village, Manhattan

We were on a little urban photo safari last night. It started at the Apple store in SoHo where Ted purchased some iPod accessories for a road trip to Seattle and Mark purchased a tabletop tripod. After some pizza and beer, Ted treated us to ice cream at Cones (love the Dulce de Leche there) and off-handedly mentioned he has roof access… now, I don’t know about you but whenever anyone says they have roof access I always have to find a way up there! It just gives such a different perspective on things.. and since Ted lives in my neighborhood I knew I’d be able to see things that I see everyday. Without any hesitation Ted let us up on the roof (thanks!) where we found there are amazing views of the Village, SoHo and the Empire State Building. Mark got a lot of good shots. I hope he posts them soon.

Oh, and that last Chimay that I had when Wendy met up with us and forced us into a bar has left me with a slight headache. I guess it’s probably not a good idea to rehydrate with beer when you’re sweating buckets.

Update: Mark has his photos posted now.

Weather Extremes

June 26th, 2003 · 13 Comments

HOTI don’t want to complain about the weather because we’re finally seeing the sun after about 5 weeks of gray skies, cold temperatures and rain…. BUT…. why must we go from one extreme to the other!? Temperatures today are forcasted to reach 97 degrees. Of course, it’s not so much the heat as it is the gosh dern humidity. And a nice little heat advisory to remind us that prolonged exposure could be deadly.
