Where am I ?!?

Well, currently I am in a Renaissance Hotel in Plantation, Florida.
Check back in to see where I end up next, or at least where I am whenever I remember to update this thing!

Saturday Night Live, Thursday Style!

I entered the SNL ticket lottery back in August - with no luck - until they added the 

Thursday night "Weekend Update" Specials.

Anita showing off the booty...

Don't really understand these - in case I got loose in NBC? 

Part of the crowd... 

Pictures are NOT ALLOWED. 

If you are stealthy and don't mind a crappy picture

you can sneak a cell phone photo.

Goodtimes had by all.

Just wished it was a regular SNL - this one was too short.

And lacking TIna Fey's Sarah Palin!

Sorry its been boring around here...

But I've been working a lot.
More soon!

Ike.

DNC

Gustav

From the DNC to Gustav - it's been a busy week so far... I'll update this whenever I can find a computer/Internet (doing this on my iPod is tricky)

Summer in NYC?

Afternoon Thunder Storms are not unusual here... and it DUMPS rain.

Awesome if you are inside - not good when caught out there.

It's also too hot & humid to wear a raincoat -

I actually OWN an umbrella now, but I have yet to break it out...

(the NorthWest in me just can't go there yet)

A fine day in NYC

Tamara, Jason, Ellis and Lincoln.

75% of my NYC Friends! And Baby Ellis too!

(We just happened to bump into the lovely Tamara

on 72nd and Columbus...)

It was a beautiful NYC Saturday in Central Park.

80 degrees, low humidity, and lots of people watching...

The cutest baby EVER.

Keep back? Enough said...

Too good not to share...

The Pigs checked out the famed Roller Disco-ers in Central Park today...

(Their handler forgot to take video without them)

Recently Jon-Michael jokingly asked me if "New York, New York" was constantly played here.  I replied, "Yes, they play it on the subway".

Well, today it happened... sorta.

Reunion!

Stupid Dumb Dog

Why do I miss him so much?

Enjoying our own wee spot of Manhattan...

Frank braves lunch on a New York City sidewalk - yum!

Happy Fathers Day Dad!

Please note the sign in the lawn - I put it there just for my Dad!

(I know its a late post - I've been busy!)

Guess who!

Take a guess who this little tyke is...

I don't know what the hell happened!

Humidity Sucks

But my room at the St. Regis Fort Lauerdale does not....

The company ain't too bad either...

Back in NOLA

Canal Street Sept. 2005

Canal Street today

French Quarter then...

French Quarter today

(there are people here - they are just

inside with AC and cocktails)

Accommodations then...

Accommodations now.

(The hotel room is HUGE - 

4 of my NYC apartments could live in this place!)

Renee Zellweger crosses the street across from the bureau.

I was actually looking for Eva Longoria

 (that was the word on the street)

Then this one turned up next to me yapping on a cell phone.

She is very wee.

(Jason calls here Big Face)

The Pigs are Out!
