A gaggle of friends whose ties are traced back to the same small town in upstate NY. Photography, humor, music and good times abound.

Cha deoch-slàint, i gun a tràghadh.

I'm putting my affairs in order as another dreary (and cold) day develops outside. I don't mind, though. I consider it training for my next fun-filled week: in Dublin. The wife and I are off to celebrate a year of marriage (madness!) on the Emerald Isle. We are quite excited.

Hard to believe that just twelve months ago, we were about to get hitched up in Massawhosetts. Seems like yesterday, and yet, seems like ages ago. Or, as those Dublin boys from U2 say, "Faraway, So Close."

What else is new? Well, we're still recovering from that whirlwind weekend in LaLa Land. The C's continue their quest for another banner tonight against Detroit. Our favorite group of babies from 2007 are all turning one, capped off by a celebration for Mr. Winslow in Central Park this past Sunday. Lester threw a no-hitter this week, which was a sight to behold. Duck and CyMon teach us some things about Volcanoes (and toilets). Oh, and GTA IV is still really, really, fun (even if there isn't enough time in the day to play it).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go practice my Gaelic and pack my paddy cap. Aer Lingus is callin'.

The Sperm Whale and the Merry Jewess. 


Taking in the crowd., originally uploaded by Kluv32.

This past weekend, we had the pleasure to bear witness to the lovely nuptials of our own Corey & Nellie, in Malibu, California. It was a wonderful whirlwind weekend, from that first terrifying van ride up to Rancho de Cielo, to the very last refrain of "Mama Said Knock You Out". (Friends and family of the cute couple created a perfect storm on the dance floor, right until the very end.)

It's a testament to the quality of Nellie & Cor to see so many people who love them all in one place, celebrating without abandon.

Myself, I'm still a little sore from that whole "chair lifting Hora incident". But my only regret is that we had to leave so soon -- you never feel like you get enough time to see everyone. Especially all those friends we miss out on the West Coast. I suppose it's a good reason to go back and visit soon (since they're all convinced of staying there).

So, I hereby present our photos from the Wedding Weekend that I just popped up on Flickr. Duck put his photos up last night, which are also awe inspring (and I'm sure Frants will have his own up soon).

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find some shirts for my new cufflinks.

Never Talk To Strangers. 


Even perv-ier, originally uploaded by Frants.

A Notice From The Editor: If you or someone you love happens to chatting online with a stranger -- and you see this man on the other end -- close your browser immediately and call the authorities.

*Related: If you happen to be walking in Spanish Harlem, and you see this man coming towards you wearing a trenchcoat, avert your eyes and quickly cross the street. Also, seeking shelter in a nearby bodega may be beneficial (but we provide no guarantee that the local bodega will be completely perv-less).
