sweeps, golden trifectas & delirious happiness…

So on Sunday I watched the Red Sox sweep the Rockies at my pad with Tallman, K. & E. After the clinching strikeout there were a couple high-fives and then my bleary-eyed guests departed. Not at all like 2004 when I was embracing strangers at the Hairy Monk and dancing into the wee hours of […]

the papelbon pickoff

So for those of you not watching the World Series last night… the BoSox were protecting a 2-1 lead in the 8th. Matt Holliday hits a wicked line drive that nearly takes out both pitcher Jonathan Papelbon. Second-baseman Dustin Pedroia snares it on a great dive, but can’t make a play. Holliday’s now at first, […]

Latest photo. I’ve made the 4 WTC photos a “page” on this blog, which means it exists outside the normal chronological hierarchy and that you can access it under the “pages” link on the right-hand sidebar. Or via this link.. That way I can just add the […]

Red Sox & the world series…

Sooo… where to begin.

Can you believe after the first game against the Indians, I was worried we’d roll over the Tribe too easily and it wouldn’t be exciting?

I have a bet going on with a Rox fan at work — winner of the series buys dinner for the desk we work on, while […]

This photo, taken Oct. 11, is of the southeastern corner of Ground Zero, Church and Liberty streets. It’s the future site of 4 World Trade Center aka 150 Greenwich St., a planned 64-story office tower designed by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki. This is where most of the activity at Ground Zero seems to be occurring […]

ReBeCA V.?

So Curbed is having a contest to name my new neighborhood, which it calls “not quite TriBeCa, not quite FiDi” (Financial District, although I’ve never heard it called that.

A lot of people are saying it really is TriBeCa, but other suggestions include ReBeCA V. (Rectangle Between Chambers and Vesey), Lower West Side, Calvin, ChaCHa […]

So yes all I have is this cameraphone. My photographic equipment from when I was a reporter/photog in N.H. was stolen from my car shortly after moving to New York. It was film anyway. But to give you the update … I don’t know if you can see […]

‘IronJessica’

Discovered via Facebook two blogs from my college friend and editor, Jessica Z. One is “Fat Girl to Triathlete“. She was always this hot little ticket in college but I guess afterwards at one point weighed 189 lbs. at 5-foot-3. Anyway Jess is now an Ironman (-woman?) triathlete and dedicated meal-tracker (and mother of two […]
