I'm a registered Democrat and New Yorker. I protested against the war and George W. Bush. I strongly believe in electing candidates based on intelligence and success, and not charisma or likability. So why do I dislike Hilary Clinton so much? Why do I just want her to go away?
The Reasons I Tell Myself For Disliking Hillary Clinton
- She seems disingenuous.
- She will lose the general election.
- Too many years of Clintons and Bushes.
- I don't dislike her, I just like Obama more.
The Real Reasons I Dislike Hillary Clinton
- She's an unattractive cuckold-ess that would pluck baby eyeballs out if votes were underneath.
- I'm probably sexist.
- She's not Bill.

Dan and Kelly made the trek to Brooklyn this weekend for a great time of sipping and snacking. We also got to enjoy my friend James' show "Life In A Marital Institution." The tagline is "20 Years of Monagamy In One Terrifying Hour," and we found it exactly as describe and also very entertaining. James is a master story teller and a bit of a cad that somehow charms the audience into rooting for him. The show runs until March 16 and I highly recommend. It's many good things, however it might not be the best piece to take a first date.

Now available to go with Scuba Sean, Commando Sean. I don't know about you, but Snake was my favorite GI Joe. New gear continues to arrive for an upcoming hike and unfortunately for you, that's all I got going right now.
That fleece is a Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Jacket, by the way. It makes me like a fleabit peanut monkey, and ll my friends are junkies. That's not really true. I am a Monkey Man.

So the blogging has been a little light lately. I think I hit a low every year during February. It's an uneventful month. Most of my time has been spent at work. While at home I've turned into a psycho in preparing for hiking Mount Washington. My wife bought me a kitchen scale and I have weighed all my gear to the nearest 1/8th ounce. This seem a little much until you put on a 30 pound pack. At that point I'm willing to shop and buy anything that can reduce the load by a few ounces, even if it's made from innocent baby livers.
Even though I'm willing to spend thousands on hiking equipment, my bank account won't let me. I've turned into a real bargain shopper online. You can outfit yourself on the cheap by making a clear list of what you need and then hitting the Web's bargain sites:
More shots of new toys to come.
…
When I'm not weighing or shopping, I'm reading Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, starting with The Golden Compass. Fans of Harry Potter or The Chronicles of Narnia will sympathize with me the junior fiction is an easy, if guilty, pleasure when life is hectic.
…
A side note on reading. As a mental game with myself, I don't use bookmarks or dog-eared pages. I try and remember the page I was on with different mnemonics. So far I am really, really bad at it and I don't see myself improving.

I love snow. Love it.
I tend to avoid black and white, because I personally think it's a bit of cheap trick to "art" up a photo, but for this one I chose to use the red channel and get rid of the color. It was almost black and white anyways and I wanted to eliminate a fluorescent orange construction fence from the background.

I was watching TV last night when I saw this commercial for a new show called "Unhitched" and I noticed that on American TV, women have no nipples. The show is about a divorced 30-something, which is funny if you saw the look on my wife's face while I paused and photographed boob-tube boobs. Still, I'm writing this post because I am curious how the producers remove the nipples and how one gets that job.
…
On a marginally related note, I watched enough of the Daytona 500 on Sunday to learn this parable:
The difference between dedication and commitment is as follows: when you have ham and eggs for breakfast the chicken was dedicated, but the pig was committed.
I've worked that into all of my meetings this week. I'd hate to work with me.
…
I watch too much TV in the winter.

Another nice thing about being married (on top of the eternal monogamy) is that the married couple is comfortable not making a big deal out of Valentine's Day. That's a holiday for single couples that are still trying to win. Some Chinese food and TV with candles were all we need to feel adequately celebratory.

My good friend Walker has been working as a episode producer and photographer on a new television show on Tru TV (formerly Court TV) called Suburban Secrets. It's a docu-drama about real life Desperate Houswives-esque murders. It's the TV equivalent of a page-turner that keeps me on channel until the mystery is solved. Most times it is the neighbor. It's always the neighbor.
It was nice to see Walker's name in the credits. I never really think about TV credits being real people. Huh. How about that? Not robots.
Congrats, Walkie!

There was a wonderful crescent over the Staten Island Ferry last night. It's what I call a Cheshire Moon, because I'm convinced Lewis Carroll dreamed up the Cheshire Cat while observing one just like under the influence of opium. I have no research to back that up and I don't really care.
…
On a digital photography note, the moon I saw through my naked eye looked infinitely better than today's pic. It was huge on the horizon and I could perceive several shadowy seas along the sliver. I used a tripod through a closed window at ISO 400 with a small telephoto lens to get this shot. Ironically, the moon is too bright and it washes itself out at any exposure that reveals the ferry landing. I'm open to other suggestions.
