Fondue Night!



With PBS Ballet on TV featuring our friend Amanda. How cultural...

Leighton Flies!



Super powers indeed...

The Colonel



I have just been named a Kentucky Colonel by Governor Steven L. Beshear & the Commonwealth of Kentucky. A tremendous honor. (And yes... I am afraid I am going to have to insist that everyone refer to me as "The Colonel.")

So Wise



The Squitch attains enlightenment even when sleeping...

Milo Z


had a great New York weekend. walked around enjoying the weather all over town. took baby aboard his first boat "The Frying Pan" where we had lunch, to his first art gallery opening, and then went to see Milo Z perform at Ulysses for the CD Release Party of his newest album - his 5th - called "Throwback." an awesome night & Milo asked me to MC for him and announce him onstage. an incredible honor... Milo was even nice enough to give me about 5 shout-outs from the stage as well, including getting the whole place to give me a round of applause for our new baby. and, after a long jam he said, "Now that was a jam! My friend Lee told me 'ain't no party without a jam!'" A great night & much love, Milo...

Uncle Sergeant Jack



At the Armory to visit the 69th.

Like Superman...

A very happy St. Patrick's Day.

Baby's First Bar



Makes sense that his first is usually Daddy's last on any given night....

Baby's First St. Patrick's Day



A band on Gramercy Park with a champagne toast

"The Sophisticats"


Tried out new costumes, to great acclaim. The Wyfe & I went to a "Halloween in March" party at the Wintergreen Club up in Windham as "The Sophisticats." She's "an Aristocat" and I was "a Dandy Lion." (WORDPLAY!)

Everyone loved our outfits & we even fooled friends who didn't recognize us. Including my mother-in-law who asked someone "Who's that? He looks FABULOUS!" "Your son-in-law." Awesome...

Leighton drops by Mommy's work & woos the ladies. Then we completed a 6+ mile walk around Manhattan in the sunny weather, with even perfect strangers coming up to us on the street to compliment us on Leighton!

My First World Record



Grant & I helped set a World Record last night for longest skiing torch parade. My 2nd attempt at a World Record but first successful one. I'm 1-1. We tried during Voodoo Fest in New Orleans for "Largest Assembly of Zombies" but came up shy. This time however we got it!

Grant & I went up & waited in the cold but we came down... legends.
