Went to Cooperstown to see the Baseball Hall of Fame last weekend. The museum was very impressive and a real mecca for baseball fans. Unfortunately, once you leave the museum there isn't much to do, as it seems the entire town shuts down by 6pm.
I also found this at a store in a cider mill- maybe I should start offering at my office and...

Had a great birthday last week. Went to a fondue restaurant for dinner and had the full four course treatment, after which I could barely walk I was so stuffed.
Labor Day weekend was kinda fun too. Saw Machete on Sunday ( over the top and lots of fun!). Went to the beach for a short time Monday ( way too windy) and had a...

Well, as of a few minutes ago, I have officially left my 30's behind. I can't decide what to do first- buy a ridiculously expensive sports car to compensate for my receding hairline, or start dating a girl half my age.
Decisions, decisions...

Just got back from my annual visit to California to visit my brother. Every year I come back from the trip, it's harder for me to figure out why I'm not living there year-round ( well, other than the soul-crushing traffic).
Oh well, back to cold, hard reality ( otherwise known as New Jersey).

I haven't been very active on the site for the last few months, and have basically regressed to mostly lurker status in chat. I almost use chat like a background distraction while I'm doing other stuff- kinda like the TV on in the background.
I've been seeing a girl for the last 3 months, which is nice ( especially since it means my 18 months...

Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day, everyone!!

"Geez, I put on these extra holiday pounds and I just can't seem to get rid of them", he says, as he washes down the broccoli cheddar poppers and buffalo wings he called dinner with a piece of chocolate cake. ARRGH!! I can't get out of pig-out mode that started during the holidays. Even getting back to the gym 5 days a week can't balance...

It's amazing what little time vampires video games can be. I just bought Dragon Age: Origins for the X-Box last week, but was holding off on playing- I knew once I started I could kiss all my free time goodbye.
And sure enough...the other night I was going to try to put a dent in watching all the shows I had DVR'd but decided to...

I know this is probably a rant reserved more for the Dating Sucks group, but..man does dating suck
I have trying the whole dating website thing, and am finding that it is basically an even more tortured form of dating than just meeting someone at a bar. At least meeting at a bar only takes up one evening of your time before you know it's...

Lately I have found myself becoming a bit of a shut-in, and what worries me is that it doesn't bother me all that much. I've been doing the dating thing and had mostly underwhelming experiences, so I'm more and more just opting to stay home on nights when I usually would go out with friends or on a date. I think I'm a bit too...

Well, I'm officially a year older as of 8 minutes ago! And boy, do I have an action-packed birthday ahead of me! I'll be working until 7 tonight, then going to the gym, then likely coming home and watching a movie..YIPEE!! I'm trying to figure out at what point my birthday went from a day I looked forward to, filled with fun and cake, to...

This is why I love the Onion! It's exactly the way I feel about most of the new electronics that come out now..
