aquaDRAMA 4.0

Nathan — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 10:27:48 +0000

My fourth tank is currently sitting in my living room waiting to be setup. This is another leap forward in the history of aduaDRAMA.

Background: The current tank suffered a rather bad leak last week. The overflow sprang an air leak, causing the tank to overflow as the pump continued to pump water out of [...]

BYE JOSH and GOOD LUCK!

Ellie — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:31:10 +0000

Dad,

Hope you are well. It has been so hot and humid here and G_Mom keeps us in the air conditioned bedroom, so I cannot get to the computer! However I figured out how to open the door and last night we got caught. G_Mom came home and we did not hear her….OH BOY…trouble in [...]

Tornados Not Snow Hit Maine

Ellie — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:36:18 +0000

Hi Dad,

Did you ever spend time in a bath tub with three dogs, and a cat? Not fun let me tell you…we were all scared…even me! Below is the headline from the Portland Press Herald.

Explosive thunderstorms that triggered tornados throughout southern Maine knocked down trees and power lines, flooded streets and damaged homes [...]

My Maine Vet Visit

Ellie — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:06:05 +0000

Phew! Have you ever gone to the vet’s office with three dogs? Yap! Yap! Apparently Dad, it was time for my March visit with the vet. I am in great health with a slight tumor under my right eye lid that needs to be monitored over the coming years to make sure it does not [...]

EXTRA! EXTRA! Bow Wow ‘Mpics Halted!

Ellie — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:45:28 +0000

Oh Crap, Dad I got caught so you should be expecting the dreaded phone call! My misbehavior has nothing to do with the BOW WOW Olympics, but instead not paying attention when I have been diabolical!

So here is my version of what happened. We had a great day yesterday and put into place foolproof [...]

Bow Wow ‘Mpics

Ellie — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:59:13 +0000

Wii (get the joke Dad?) have been having the BOW WOW mpics each day when G_Mom goes to work. So far I have won the most Gold…are you surprised? What a stitch this whole sports spectacular has been. Have you ever seen dogs trying to do Yoga? The tree pose is particularly hysterical. We have [...]

Busted…Doggie Porn?

Ellie — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:24:30 +0000

Dad, I am in big trouble and have had my computer privileges removed for an unspecified amount of time. G-Mom caught me surfing the net and I was looking at a web site called whitehouse.com for doggies. Honest Dad, I thought I was reading about the White house, you know where the President and his [...]

PORTLAND WHERE? UT OH!

Ellie — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:04:26 +0000

Dad, apparently there are two cities named Portland and I am not sure what happened, but here are the details. I remember seeing Katie and being very, very excited. She petted and petted me and got off much more loose hair, much to G_Mom’s dismay. You know how she hates dog hair anywhere but on [...]

DEPRESSION OVER!

Ellie — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 12:27:48 +0000

Hi Dad, My Doggie Depression is finally over. I got into big trouble this morning marking the end of this bout of Depression!

G_Mom says I have to have at least 15 minutes of sun a day for Vitamin D and that I should be outside for at least one hour if the weather is [...]

Doggie Depression

Slobbie — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:13:02 +0000

Hi Ellie,

Wow we have not written to you in a while. Cart and I are being treated for Doggie Depression. Twenty three straight days of rain and damp chill. Have you had to walk and poop in the rain? Mom is a real stickler about us going out. Fine for her .… because [...]

How are U?

Slobbie — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:30:42 +0000

Hi Ellie, What’s waggin? Well Cart and I miss you. I am writing because Cart still has educational delays that Mom has not corrected. I am the only one with the formal training to write to you. Any way, nothing too new here. We did get back our marrow bones after you left…don’t think you [...]

Dunkin Doughnuts

Ellie — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:03:57 +0000

Hi Dad, Sorry for not writing sooner but it has been a busy week, family issues and life. Anyway G-Mom says you got my photos after my SPA day Saturday. Wow, personal maintenance was never so much fun. I think G-Mom scared them so they gave me lots of extra attention. The old scam works [...]

A Nervous Wreck

Ellie — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 20:31:27 +0000

I heard from my cousin J.D. in Santa Monica yesterday, Dad. He does not Poop in the house. WOW is he nuts? Sounds like he has good weather all the time, but I remember Uncle Adam being kind of strange. He would only pet me when you were not looking. Aunt Lisa is really nice [...]

Global Update

Nathan — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 21:15:36 +0000

So it has been a long time since I wrote regularly on this thing. I have no singular excuse, but a combination of a few. I thought it was about time to just post a general update to what has been going on in the last 4-5 months. A quick list:

I sold my first [...]

My Note To Obama on Rick Warren

Nathan — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:12:29 +0000

Dear Team-

I would like to express my disgust and dismay at the choice of Rick Warren to give the invocation at the inauguration.

As a Jew, I am always very uncomfortable with the encroachment of dominant Christian forces into the public sphere, not only because it is anti-American, but because the tendency is for [...]

Our deepest fears are like dragons guarding our deepest treasure – Rainier Maria Rilke

It seems strange to write a page like this on my blog as this whole entire thing is about my travels both physical and existential through life. I suppose I can try to give a brief overview of who [...]

The jet from JFK arrives late to Madrid Barajas and we miss the connection to Barcelona and we fear that we might miss our [...]

The trip was originally going to be Anthony, Roy, Dan and me, but circumstances dictated that only Dan and I would be able to go. The day of departure came and we had arranged to meet at 11 Madison Park for lunch, hop in the car to JFK, and be off for a great weekend [...]

Fall Trip Around Puerto Rico

Nathan — Wed, 31 Oct 2001 04:49:31 +0000

After a whirlwind tour of Italy and a few days at work, I took off for Puerto Rico early Friday morning.

When I arrived at the airport the lines were immense and I had no idea if I would make it on the jet in time. It left at around 4am for a 7am departure, [...]
