Gary’s shared linksSTRATFORD, NJ, USA I just bought a great new HP backpack for my weekly business jaunts to DC. But, for the life of me, I just can’t figure out what that external pouch is for. It’s too small for an umbrella, and too big for sunglasses. One side of it is a loose mesh, which [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA Note: Whenever I visit a new sports stadium or arena, I like to post some of my thoughts and pictures about it soon after my visit. Believe it or not, there are a lot of “stadium geeks” online, and these posts are pretty popular. Unfortunately, I’ve been lazy for a few months, [...]

One of the pre-eminent books on baseball stadiums is called “Green Cathedrals.” So, Benedict held mass this morning at [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA I got back from my weekly jaunt to DC last night. Since I was busy with work, I’m a day late in writing my monthly reflection on life with my grandmom. So, I’ll write it now. The 13-month “anniversary” is different from the others for a couple of reasons: I spent it [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA If you’ve been checking out my website over the past month or so, you might have noticed two things: I’ve been lazy about updating recently. This site is lacking in color. So, I thought I’d try to kill two birds with one stone! Believe it or not, I have been getting out of [...]

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. This is my fifth trip down since I moved back in NJ last November. It’s also the shortest, busiest, and most spur of the moment. If you’re in town and [...]

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 [...]
