New York, Day 2

On the way into the city, the kids got to blow the horn on the train!

The kids with "Rexy"

Wall 'o life. My favorite, for some odd reason.

The kids, my pearls..

New York, day 1

Random images... Eli's school art project "quick take a picture before we leave!", the girls in the airport, kids on the plane, Eli gets some NY hot dogs.. kinda, kids in the cab..

Quote of the day: (in a New York cab) "I like the smell in here. It's kinda stinky."

Heartbreakingly Proud

I have run behind my daughter, holding her wobbly bike only to have her pull away and ride ahead all by herself!  Such a strange feeling of pride, fear, hope and sadness at seeing my little girl grow up..

The Crystal Method, First Avenue 6/7/2009

LOUD. Awesome. Good crowd for a Sunday night, too. I showed up just in time to see them, have too many beers, and go home. (BTW, it's an interesting mix of folks riding the 18 bus at 9pm on a Sunday night..)

All pics taken with my T-Mobile G1 Android phone. Didn't post the videos because they're garbage. Not because of the phone, but because videos of concerts are garbage. :)
