I can respect a guy like this. Honest panhandling in Times Square ...

Sending good vibes out to my family in Neoga, Illinois. UM has a scary challenge ahead, and we want my AL, and cousins MjD and JD to know we love them very much.

It was 20 years ago today we completed our NY to NJ data center move to a brand new site in an up and coming Jersey City.... When we finished, we began the build of the current NY floors... The Big Guy, WFP was our DC Manager and guided us through it all

Walter commented - Jack, remember it like it was yesterday...After we made the move and before we started to build the DC in NY the New New Jersey DC had a major power outage that took everything down. I was on my way home on the train and you called and said "We are in the dark" I said turn the lights on, you paused and said no we are really in the dark and there is no power...Ahh, the good ole days!! Stay well

Today was protest day on 5th avenue. Our Occupy Wall Street friends were back, and they came with cuteness ...

Tomorrow marks 7 years that we went live with the NYC High Density Blade Room,  not sure if we get another year out of it as we begin to execute a business plan. Either way, it was a great experience, watching the transformation of our paper storage room into a state of the art cooling environment was a great honor and pleasure. Plus, we had a lot of fun along the way. We also partnered with Liebert as they brought potential customers of the new design from all around the world. They came, they saw, they 'felt' the room. And they were impressed. It has performed as described, and has been a vital part of our overall success as a business. Here's a look back. NYC Blade Room build June - Dec 2005

Thank You everyone for your congrats and kind words welcoming JaJo to the family. Here's a thank you card for all of you from KpL and PO JaL !!!

Usually when they strike and hold a picket line, there's a giant rat. I think this is a giant roach ... I hope it has nothing to do with the kitchen conditions in Salmon River, many of our execs dine there ....

Like I say, I report, you decide. I found this on facebook, a recent pic of my brudder in a compromising situation, if you ask me....

The new NYPD Police Academy in College Point continues to develop before our eyes and is coming along quite nicely.

There's our newest addition to the krew, PL, holding the fort out front. Like us, it's a rain or shine job, and we enjoy it so ... why ? for the reasons I describe above (OK, and for the ladies who might pass us by as well ...)

OK jokesters, I did mean the baby when I said look at the head of hair. As I explained, I can still have a fine head of hair, if I let it grow out. This is what I could look like

We ain't the only fish in the pond anymore at 452. I hear there are a few law firms and small technology environments. And where there are law firms, there are fine looking women ... So, sights should improve for the daily showings .... May be opportunity for some to consider...

Stay tuned to upcoming Judge Judy shows, we may end up seeing some familiar faces ... lol

Some amazing pics of JaJo taken by the professional photographer ...

Going through old files, I came across these interesting items. Tips for reducing your stress levels

and a ton of old business cards. Wouldn't you know it, there's one for TC, who I see from time to time near the perch.... He's in a much better position now, and I like to think it's partly due to his experience with us ...

Hey, Big Guy from down Tampa way, checkout what I found stuck under my desk ... this old box of RICS pens you had made up..... they must be 20 years old ...

2004 was a busy year for us at work. So much so that it became apparent that we didn't have enough weekends for projects. So, with the stroke of my photoshopping pen, voila, we added 30 more days to June.... We used to get strange looks when we told people their work was being planned for the weekend of June 47th .... but it worked !!!

Don't bother opening your envelope from Publishers Clearing House bitches, I've already got the winning ticket ...

Stopped into CVS and bumped into Santa making some returns, or was he he picking up stuff for next year cause of the sale prices ... lol

We had a very nice dinner at Cafe Al Dente recently, with an old friend up from Georgia. It's been over 30 years since I've seen Pete DeJoseph and seeing him last night was like it's only been a week or so... Good seeing you my friend, and I look forward to your trip up in the summer...

Here's an interesting story ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/iceland/9778304/Icelandic-teenager-sues-state-for-right-to-use-her-name.html

I want to know if there are no C's in the ICelandic alphabet, what do they do with the C in Iceland ?

and what of all the Cs in this statement ??? perplexing

"... So many strange names have been allowed, whiCh makes this even more frustrating beCause Blaer is a perfeCtly ICelandic name," she said. "It seems like a basiC human right to be able to name your Child what you want, espeCially if it doesn't harm your Child in any way.... "

hmmm ....
