Miracle on 34th Street
Every year, a block of Hampden’s 34th street gets decked out for Christmas. Here are pictures from Christmas night. Continue reading
Airplane Window Photography
Here are shots from the airplane window from some recent flights. In some, the exhaust from the engine blurs part of the image so it looks like you’re looking down at the earth through a snow globe. Pretty cool effect.

Morimoto
After 6 years of gazing longingly through the window and drooling, I finally ate at Iron Chef Morimoto’s restaurant in Philadelphia.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2007
Enough with the cities. On Saturday morning, we left Cork to see the real Ireland. The small towns. The rolling countryside. The sheep.
We would not be disappointed.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2007
On Friday, we would rent a car and drive from Dublin to Cork on the wrong side of the road.

It was a personal injury lawyer’s dream come true.
Sixty blindfolded photographers bumbling around the top of Federal Hill taking pictures of darkness before tumbling to their peril on the busy Key Highway below.

My blindfolded photos are below.

Everyone told me how green Ireland is. And they were right! As soon as I stepped on the Aer Lingus plane, everything was green. The seats were green. The flight attendants’ uniforms were green. And, thanks to the in-flight meal, even the passengers were green.

When they got to the front of the plane, a large black man responded “Yes?”
It was Mr. T.
(You’re full of crap. -Editor)
The flight, which left at 7pm Baltimore time, landed at 6:30 am Ireland time. I slept on the plane not at all. Thursday would be a long, tired day.
