I've started a new blog. I realize that your faith, and by 'your' I'm speaking to the 3 of you who occassionally check this guy, in me to keep it updated is essentially nil but check it out...

ATL Shorty!

I'm sitting in SFO waiting to board my delayed flight, fighting every urge in my body to buy Dan Brown's new book...I realize that I'm a sucker, but I don't care. I like trashy, mindless, adventure books that I can plow through...my addiction to Vince Flynn is evidence of this.

anywho...I sit here in SFO waiting to go to Atlanta. Hot, humid/muggy, buggy Atlanta...heavy rains have produced a 500 year flood causing states of emergency to be declared in 17 counties. I'm going to meet up with 2 other HODR (www.hodr.org) guys to see if we can be useful in expediting the recovery process.

Hopefully we can lend our growing expertise in flooding situations like this by providing direction and the framework for Counties overwhelmed by the scope of the disaster.

you should go to www.hodr.org and check out the flickr site for photos.

movin' & shakin'

I'm not sure if you're up on NY State politics so I'll connect some dots for ya real quick: The sexy stud on the right is yours truly (check out the shapely gut shot...nice huh?) and the man donning the suit pumping his fist is Senator Charles Schumer...

like I said: Movin' & Shakin'.

DAMN!

It's my Birthday

no seriously...it's my birthday. Ruminations on aging another year and what an incredibly fun day I've had with Claire to follow...plus details on the 'mystery trip' that we embark on tomorrow...

life is good.

Hopping Around

This is in a park nestled in Chinatown. I worked at this series for about 45 mins and still couldn't land the drop. I shall return.

 

unicycling

this is what I do with my free time...

Excitement

For the past 11 months I've worked for Hands On Disaster Response (www.hodr.org) as a project coordinator. This means that I've played a supporting role while Hands On has been on project; I've coordinated volunteers, managed the daily work flow and tracked what we've done for reporting purposes. I've been a volunteer with Hands On since 2005 after Hurricane Katrina decimated the Gulf Coast and since, have been on projects with them in Indonesia, Peru, Iowa, Haiti and Arkansas.

This morning I sat down with the Executive Director and he offered me a full-time position with the organization! As of June 1st I will be a Project Director for Hands On Disaster Response--I will be focusing on domestic response but available, should the need arise to go abroad and I couldn't be happier. The past 11 months have been, at times, a struggle--personally, financially, and socially and i know that maintaining a balance in my life moving forward is something that will require a lot of energy, but I am confident that it can work and am willing to run myself into the ground to make it happen.

Tonight, I celebrate :)
