STRATFORD, NJ, USA Sometimes, I feel like Bubba from Forrest Gump. I’ve been on public busses and private busses. City busses and intercity busses. Domestic busses and international busses. Busses that left early and busses that left late. I’ve waited for busses that never showed up at all. I’ve been on busses that got into [...]

ALEXANDRIA, VA, USA Hey folks, In case anyone out there in Internet-land was wondering, I arrived safely here in the DC area at around 11:30am.

STRATFORD, NJ, USA It’s hard to believe, but this time last week I was in Delaware for Dan’s wedding! As I mentioned, it was a really fun time. And, like usual, the week after a fun time seems to be a rough week here at my grandmom’s. Even after being here for over 10 months, [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA So, on Saturday, the esteemed Mr. Maiese went to the chapel and got married. It was at a nice little Catholic church, just over the bridge in New Castle, Delaware. On the way in, I saw our hero, the groom, getting ready. I wished him luck. The next time I saw him, [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA 8:20 am. Ugh. I most certainly wasn’t planning on being up yet, but since I am, I might as well post. Dan’s wedding weekend has been pretty fun so far. Thursday night was his bachelor party. I met up with him and his friends after a Phillies game, and we just hung [...]

Hockey Yesterday, I went to the Flyers’ SkateZone ice rink in Voorhees to watch the Philadelphia Flyers’ prospects scrimmage against the Washington Capitals prospects. SkateZone was the first place I worked; I started there almost exactly seven years ago, as a scorekeeper and clock [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA As you can tell, I’m experimenting with a new “WorkPress Theme” (aka “layout”) for this site. I’ve always prefered 3-column layouts, so I’m hoping to stick with this.
