Escaping unscathed this year was a tribute to my burgeoning wisdom and cowardice. Thank you all for coming, especially the pink gorilla (compliments of Josh & Ted).

Thanksgiving, 2002

Taking a taxi in Rochester at 2 AM is more adventurous than a voyage on the Kontiki. But well worth the trip. Greg cooked a fine turkey, and Dad (reminiscing about his Shakespeare days) took us to a play at Geva. Bravo. ...The encore was the beautiful snow in my backyard upon returning to NYC.

Ted & Josh Visit, October 2002

Josh ruined some pants. Ted ruined a shirt. All meaning we were doing something right.

Freaky Friday the 13th Party, September 2002

One of the life's great joys is showing people how to blow flames using 151.

Visting Kate, September 2002

After a beautiful homes tour in Pawley's Island, we stopped in this unique church to be thankful.

Visits, August 2002

Kate and Don were a welcome treat for my birthday. My good friend Matt introduced me to the finer things in life, like Krispy Creme donuts after a 5-mile run.

Birthday Party, July 2002

Last year, I was threatened with eviction. This year, it came true. It's going to be a cold winter. But the fire balls and flips into the hammock make it worth it!

Christmas Vacation, 2001

Simply said: planes, trains, and automobiles. Enjoyed visting my mother's sister's family, my dad, and my dad's brother's family.

WTC and Bo

NYC brought unique joys this winter, from healing from the WTC massacre, to learing more about folk like Bo, my neighbor who used to hang with Jimmy Hendrix on my block (Blonde used to live across the street).

Kate Visting NYC in December 2001

Not only did NYC have to prepare for Mayor Guiliani's departure, but for Kate's arrival! Mom and I went to the Empire State Building as well as to Tony n' Tina's Wedding--what a party!

Visiting Kate for Thanksgiving 2001

And I thought New York had the best restaurants and

hotels! My mom took great care of me over the holiday--from cooking to just plain ol' pampering. We visited Hilton Head and Charleston, staying at the Pinckney Inn in Charleston and dining at Upstream and High Cotton. All highly recommended.

During my lay over on the way to Myrtle Beach,
I had a few minutes...so...I did what anybody would do. I rented a car and drove to Wake Forest for the afternoon. I had the fortune of meeting an old professor Edwin Graves Wilson, who teaches British poetry and embodies the spirit of Wake Forest.

My Cousin's November 2001 Visit to NYC

Annalyn, my mom's sister's daughter,

stopped by NYC to visit her friend Kate (far right--no, not the Turk) and call her good-looking cousin. He couldn't make it, but I could so we chilled with Randy James on the Upper Upper West Side.

My Dad's November 2001 Visit to NYC

Big Don was back and thirsty for

more of NYC. Here he scoffs at Britney Spear's Pepsi-drinking
deriere (at right in the picture) and becomes
Times Square's new sex symbol.

Mr. Spoons is one of New York's favorite

subway music performers. In the midst of flipping and playing up to 12 spoons all over and around his merry self, Mr Spoons took a moment to give Don a lesson.

July 3rd Fiesta, 2001

I had a great time (and have bruises and an eviction notice to remember it by)! Thanks everyone for coming!

U2 Concert on June 2nd

My friend Matt Parker and I caught up with U2 to see them jam. It was a Beautiful Day.
