August 26 - August 31

Colin's new friend that we found on the sidewalk.

Hurricane Irene was headed our way, so we brought the plants inside to weather the storm.

Irene aftermath: no damage for us but still pretty windy!

A tree victim from Irene, four blocks south of us on our street. 

 Late season flowers!

At Mama Fink's suggestion, we re-arranged the bedroom. Not sure how we feel about it yet but we'll stick with it for now.

August 21 - August 25

This is an un-edited photo. The sky was the weirdest tinge of yellow at about seven o'clock in the evening.

Smoothies!

EARTHQUAKE! I was all the way up there on the fifteenth floor.

Biergarten again! Caitlin and I left the boys and went to see One Day (which was terrible). At least the beers were good.

This Hamburger Helper puppet gets passed from desk to desk at work. Nobody remembers where it came from. Since Ashley was on vacation this week, we stuck him on her desk to greet her upon her return.

August 16 - August 20

I joined a gym. Or should I say, "gym." It's a KokoFit Club, and the premise is basically a quick and convenient workout for people who don't really know what to do at the gym. You get a thumbdrive that you plug into an all-in-one workout machine (like a Bowflex) and it tells you what exercises to do, at what weight, how many reps, and how fast to go. I like it because you get points and it's like a video game. Now if only I can make myself go every day.

One of my favorite houses in Hoboken, down at 5th & Grand streets. It's clearly an old fire station and I always wonder if they still have the pole inside.

Poor little retarded tomato: grew straight into a branch.

Gotta love Friday happy hours at work.

Fancy boss dinner! Every year we go out to a nice restaurant with Colin's boss and his boss's wife. I call this dress my  Betty Draper Dress. It's super flattering and it even has pockets!
