After nearly a year of hearing the same question: "Kenny, Porque no le das de comer a los barberos?", Duke finally decided he wanted to try a new look. He barely cut it a few couple of hours ago and he's already starting to feel like one of his limbs is missing.

Disappointed Duke. Damn you McQuilkin. Why did you have to go to the future and steal Duke's idea, then go back to 2004 and present it as your own. We're on to you! Don't ask....

I'm just a bill.
Yes, I'm only a bill.
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it's a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It's a long, long wait
While I'm sitting in committee,
But I know I'll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill.

We kinda stumbled upon this at Central Park. If you leave an ID, you can borrow fishing rods and fish right in the Harlem Meer. It's catch and release, of course, but it was really fun.

Here's yours truly with Naomi and Piper. We went to a comedy show and then to Havana Central for the most mediocre Cuban food combined with awful service and a creepy waiter. The best part was the $7.00 slice of Tres Leches Cake that we didn't order but still had to pay for. Good Times!!

One of my summer projects was to organize my printed pictures. The problem with this is that I start reminiscing and lose focus very quickly. I still have 7 of these to organize, and it looks like it won't get done any time soon.

I lost my sandal today at Garden State Mall. Or at least that's what Luisito and Esmeralda want me to think. See, I kinda fell asleep as soon as I stepped foot in the car, and when I woke up in the parking lot of Stop and Shop in Riverdale...poof! My shoe was gone. I had to call my sister to bring me another pair of chancletas down.....grrrr..!!! I hate it when this happens.

Piper and Duke canoing in the Hackensack river. Besides the fact that we had to be towed a few times by the tour guide, and there were a milion bugs biting us, it was really fun.
