NJ Bird

Little birdie that I befriended at starbucks while waiting for my day trip NJ meeting. He(?) would come pretty close for a piece of bagel but never take it from my hand.

Camp Invention

Kari and her camp buddy during Camp Invention. Kari took apart many items ending with a neat looking 'bank lock' filled with many electrical components.

No Training Wheels

Matthew, Kari and I went out on Ryan's old (very small) bike. We went down the little hill a few times (candy promised for every full ride). We graduated to the pavement pushing the distance! We kept saying this was like the Wright brothers 1st flights and we numbered Matthew's attempts, marking his distance with a ball. This video was at the end of the day with Mom watching!

Kari's Webster Tri

Boot Birds...

One day while grabbing for my (new) Boots in the garage, I noticed a birds nest. We gently peeked at it for the next few days to see 5 eggs total. This is a pic of the newborn baby Wren birds.

YMCA Track n Field Meet

Kari posted some HUGE results including breaking the YMCA 50M track record!

Dodge Viper

For a long long time, Matthew has known that his MatchBox Dodge Viper is the fastest car. A guy at my work has one and was nice enough to let Matthew and I take it around for a hot lap. VERY FUN and truly fast!

1st Win!

Here's a pic of the crew (from Left - Nick, Kelly, Amy and Myself -

my first race being sponsored by Park Ave Bikes (see Jersey). With
Jerry's help in the pit crew, I was able to pull off my first win!
Tough to say the least but very happy with my results using my new bike (Cervelo P3-SL).

Firehouse Visit

Mandala by M

Great Wolf Lodge

Great time at the indoor waterpark in Canada. The kids (and us too) just loved it. Rides were a blast, water was really warm and the food hit the spot. Yes it was a bit pricey but we only needed to stay 1 night as we got 2 good days of the park.
