Vacations, Hurricanes and Moving On

Presidente InterContinental Cancun Resort The last time Salomé and I took a real vacation (without the kids), a long weekend in New Orleans back in 2005, we missed a devastating hurricane by about six weeks. Back in 1992, when I was still in the Army, Hurricane Andrew derailed a planned Labor Day weekend trip down to Miami Beach.

last.fm Because there aren’t enough distractions online, I’ve signed up for yet another one: last.fm. It’s a social networking site that links people through their musical tastes, not via hyperlinked entries in an “interests” box, but by tracking everything you listen to on your computer and creating a personal radio station that others can listen

Mission Accomplished, Coach!

Isaac @ Trophy Time The only thing cooler than handing out obligatory trophies to a group of kids who actually earned them, is having your son be one of those kids! (That’s the trophy in the brown paper bag there, not the heirloom Gonzalez 40, thank you!) The Pee Wee Marlins’ Tee Ball season came to a

Bar Scrawl: Return to Botanica

Marble Cover Notebook I hit Botanica last night — one of my all-time-favorite dives, and the bar where I did most of my writing and drinking back in ’97 and ’98 — with a head full of vague ideas that I needed to let loose onto the pages of my marble cover notebook. I’ve gotten so used

Mets, Tee Ball and Autism Updates

Jordin Sparks ** It’s becoming clear to me that no matter how much I enjoy going to Shea Stadium to watch the Mets, I am apparently bad luck for them as they’ve lost the majority of times I’ve been in the stands. Sunday’s Subway Series finale was particularly painful to watch, not just for the
