LHS 10 Year Reunion

/
I just got back to NYC. This weekend Jess and I attended the Lebanon High School (LHS) 10 year Reunion. We had such a great time. It was great to see a lot of old friends; however, I am little bit disappointed with the turnout. I wish more people would have been able to attend. But I am so happy for the opportunity to catch up with those who did attend. Special shout out to Kelley, Amy, and Brandy... Here are a couple of photos.

Halloween 2005

/
Jessica and I would like to thank everyone for coming out to our 2nd annual Halloween Party! It was a great time. Everyone did a fantastic job on their costumes. Thanks again to Joe and Tina for the decorations. It's amazing that 25 people and 2 dogs can fit into one tiny studio apartment. We look forward to celebrating with you all again next year. You can find some of our pictures here P.S. Jessica refuses to take out that damn gold tooth.

Podcast Coming Soon

/
In the next few days, I will be creating a podcast. For those who don't know, a podcast is an audio recording that is posted to a website that you can download and listen to on you computer, ipod, or other mp3 player. The coolest part about it that you don't have to keep coming back here to look for new episodes, although you can if you want. You subscribe to the podcast using a piece of software known as a podcatcher or ipodder. This software goes out and looks for your rss feed and sees when it has been updated and downloads the audio (or video) file for you and puts it on your computer, ipod, or other mp3 player. Think of it like any other rss or news reader. Probably the best description that I have heard of podcasting is TiVo for radio. iTunes 6.0 is the pod catcher that I use to listen to my favorite podcasts. The show...Random BS or Radio BY Shane (RBS) will feature me and occasional guests talking about all kinds of topics...Tank and Bam Bam, Madden 2006, CPR and AED, Football, Life in NYC, LOST, and any other RBS I am obsessing about at the time. Send me you comments and questions via email or better yet audio file. Consider this an open invitation to anyone who would like to be on the show... we can skype.

Jury Duty Part Deux

/
Day 2 of Jury Duty... After 7 hours of wasted time yesterday I am back for day 2. They only selected one group of potential Juriors yesterday which is actually good news for me. If I can make it through today and tomorrow with out getting selected, then I am home free and will not have to serve on an actual Jury. Yesterday I took several naps. Today I think I will try to get some work done...or maybe a nap. The guy behind me is snoring. If they didnt take my camera phone at the door, then I would have posted a pic. Oh well...At leas I have the chance to catch up on podcasts that I have not had a chance to listen to.

Jury Duty

/
As I sit here in the jury room of the Manhattan Supreme court, I am wondering....is there a better way? Why have I been here for 3.5 hours and they have not even called one single person to participate in the selection process. What a monumental waste of everyone's time. We need a new system. Why not select people who really want to come to these things rather than forcing people to come to them. For example...you are a stay-at-home parent and they force you to come all the way down here in person to tell them that you can't participate because you have no one to take care of your children. At least there is a free internet connection.

The Wedding Video

/
It is finally here! The Wedding video has arrived. I am making copies as I type this. Mom your copy will be mailed first thing tomorrow. The video quality is very good, it has a lot of nice transitions and filters. I now have documented evidence of how poor a dancer I really am. Jess and I were just reliving the beautiful day that was. I hope to eventually put some clips up here on the site, maybe next week I can get some alone time with Adobe Premier and generate some clips. Tank is doing well. He is experiencing the puppy equivalent of Terribe Two's. Jess's new sofa cove lasted all of about 3 hours until it was shredded. Let me tell you there is nothing quite like being Peed on by a Puppy at 3:00am. Bam Bam has been quite the teacher...he has taken tank under his wing. He showed his little brother how to play tug of war and fetch as well as how to bite into the roll of Charmin and TP the entire house. Good times!

Tennessee Reception

/
We are back in New York after an eventful weekend in Tennessee. The flight was pretty good. I had a new experience during this flight...people applauded when the plane landed safely. Jessica and I would like to thank the ladies at Shop Springs Baptist Church for hosting our Tennessee Reception. It was really wonderful. Here are a few pictures. We also had a cookout at Mom and Dads on Saturday. Unfortunately, I was so busy visiting with everyone, that I forgot to take any pictures. We had a great time. It was wonderful getting to spend time with everyone. Our next visit to Tennessee will be October 15, 2005, for my 10 year High School reunion.

The Wedding and Honeymoon

/
Jessica and I would like to thank everyone for making Our Wedding such a special day. Here are some pics from the Rehearsal Dinner, The Wedding, and our Honeymoon in St. Lucia. We had a great time. The island is absolutely beautiful. We took a helicopter ride, walked inside an active volcano, toured the botanical gardens, and went snorkeling.  Here are some pics. Here is an article about us from the New York Daily News. It will only be up until May 22 so get it while you can. http://www.nydailynews.com/city_life/story/309286p-264657c.html

Moving day

/
Jess and I are finally all moved into our new apartment. It took us about a week to get all the boxes unpacked; but we are finally finished. DSL is up and running and DirecTV is installed. And now the wedding is a mere 18 days away. Unbelievable! We went from 18 months to 18 days in what seemed like the blink of an eye. We are busy tying up all the loose ends and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the first guests in 14 days. Looking forward to seeing everyone very soon.

Enchilada

/
Just thought I would share with everyone that iTunes has the audio book version of the 9/11 commission report available for download for 4.95. It is about 21 hours long. I am through hour number 3. Lets just say it was...disturbing. So I saw the new Taco Bell TV spot for the "Grilled Stuft' Enchilada"...an enchilada with the sauce on the inside...sounds crazy I know, but it looked damn good. So good in fact that I thought I would go on over an pick one up for lunch today....WHAT!!! You don't sell the "Grilled Stuft' Enchilada" yet. I ran for the border and INS closed it down. In a related story Apple announced the iPod Shuffle a couple weeks ago...You can't get your hands on that thing until March 1, from their website any way. eBay has tons for sale, so that got me thinking... I did an eBay search for "Grilled Stuft' Enchilada" but alas, none for sale. What is the big idea...you get me all hyped up about Enchiladas and music players and I can't go buy it right now. WTF!! Speaking of things that are F***ed up, did anyone see Bush's Sate of the Union Address?

Happy New Year

/
Well, as you can see, I haven't posted in a while. Not really that busy, just lazy I guess. Jess and I headed to Tennessee just after Christmas and spent a week there. While we were there, Bam Bam had his yearly Checkup at the vet. His teeth were in pretty bad shape. No matter what we would do, his breath was always horrible and he had gingivitis. As it turned out, Bam Bam had a genetic "issue" that made his gums pull away from his teeth causing pockets to form. Bacteria grew in these pockets and caused his jaw bones to deteriorate... To make a long story short, Bam Bam had nearly all of his teeth removed. He has 4 molars and his 4 canines left. He is the model of health otherwise. Jess and I are doing well. Getting a little stressed out as we are now less than 4 months away from the wedding. Learning how to use our new miniDV camera as well as non-linear video editing. Frontline Health is doing well, the 2 year anniversary is next week. If anyone needs CPR, First Aid or Lifeguard Training, let me know. I am still teaching swimming on a limited basis, 2 half days a week. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the wedding very soon.
