It’s been a year and a few days since Seth and I left the concrete jungle of New York City and became ruralpolitans in the mountains of upstate New York. In that time we have seen a lot of strange and mysterious things, such as competent AND friendly retail workers, a mailman who knows our [...]

I hope everyone had a great New Year’s Eve. Mine took an unexpected turn when yet another winter storm forced me to scrap my plans with the gang I’ve rung in every new year with since the 90′s. Luckily some friends in the area convinced me that I couldn’t sit home alone (Thanks again Tony [...]

This is what the view looked like outside my window yesterday. And this morning, Here’s another one of the car. Good thing I’m not going anywhere this morning. I spoke to someone who lives about 20 minutes away and they didn’t get any snow. The big difference is that we [...]

It’s always been a dream of mine to live on a modern (not dirty hippy style) commune, however, I never imagined that I’d be sharing the land with the Smurfs. Check out this mushroom development going up under the hammock. Here’s another shot to give you an idea of how large they are. [...]
Roaring Rapids Across Chatham

After the weekend’s biblical downpour, I’m thinking of building an ark of my own. We had so much rain on Saturday that the ground level raised to a point where the water began pouring in through our basement window sill.

I think I just got suckered in my own house. A traveling salesman came to the door. Having lived in apartments for the past – hmm, I don’t even know how long, since college – I just assumed that door-to-door salesman went the way of Doctors recommending their patients smoke Camel cigarettes. Well, it seems [...]
It Just Keeps Coming

I woke up this morning and looked out the window to see more snow falling. I figured it would have ended over night since it started to taper off around 10 last night. That’s when we went outside and built Pablo the Snowman. I know, its a pretty bad attempt but we were cold and [...]

We are slowly but surely getting the study in order here at our new house in East Chatham. Eventually, this room will have a corner lined in book shelves and lots of heavy wood and leather chairs. For now, I’ve got my home office set up with a fire going and I just looked out [...]
