January 2011 Campaign sites for Linda Macais and Jesse Johnson were launched in the fall. Bob Warren, our local poet laureate, had his web site re-designed. As the snows began to fall, I took over site management for the Brattleboro Arts initiative and The Association for the Cooperative Advancement of Science and Education. In the works are a jobs board and an informational site for 11th Hour Rescue NY, whose mission is to rescue dogs before they're euthanized. |

July 2008 Our boys are growing up . . . Andy has one year left at Berklee and Danny has one left in high school I've begun doing some work for Brave New Films, including In Their Boots. This video / web project tells the stories of veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. Each week, a live video stream will include a short film, as well as a live in-studio host and remote guests. Viewers have the ability to appear live on-screen using web cams. It's an amazing blending of journalism and technology. The live stream happens each Wednesday at 7:00 ET. Other new sites include Opus Db (where music teachers can listen to and purchase sheet music), 21 Michael Drive (a house for sale by owner) and Krystal Jeep Chrysler Dodge. The website for Howie Hawkins has been updated to reflect his current campaign for Congress in central New York. While I don't the money to travel to Chicago for this year's Green Party convention, at least I have the consolation of seeing one of my client's, Robyn Hitchcock perform live in Albany. |

April 2008 On March 18th, I was elected Mayor of Greenwich, NY. Because so many of my clients are local, I've added a complete client list on my campaign site in an effort to eliminate any conflicts of interest. A couple of new sites recently went live; North Country Physical Therapy and Edward Dowling & Associates. Last month I took over management of Boyd Research. |
|
February 2008 It's time for another walk down the plank . . . petitions have been filed for a run for Mayor of Greenwich, New York. I'm running on an Open Government slate, with Cathy Brown and Lyle Hayes running for Trustee. An e-commerce site was recently launched by Dabanga Jewelry. The photograph to the right was taken in the South Bronx, a few months prior to Jimmy Carter's visit in 1977. |

December 2007 The mice living in our basement have a sweet tooth; they love chocolate! During the fall I took over management of the national web site for the Green Party in addition to my on-going volunteer position as Photo Editor for Green Pages. Contradictions continue as I'm now a member of the IWW,while continuing to serve as a Board member for the Greenwich Chamber of Commerce. Some recent sites include Ruth A. Ihne, Alpha Omega Publishing, Draft Nader and blogs for writings & photography from Main Street and Green Pages. |

September 2007 As always, the summer disappears too quickly. I traveled to Maine twice this summer. Once for an impeachment rally in Kennebunkport and once to meet with a client in Rockland. I also spent four days in Reading, PA. for the Green Party annual conference. Our niece Molly & her boyfriend Andrew moved from San Diego to Boston in August. Their apartment is only a few blocks away from our son. The man in the photo to the right is Inga's father-in-law. Inga was born in Latvia. When she was a child, her family traveled to Germany. While there, Latvia declared it's independence and because her family never returned to acquire new documention, Inga became stateless. She's currently being held by the INS, which has no country to deport her to. iTunes carries some of her music. |

May 2007 I'm sitting in a BNI meeting at the Greenwich Library doing a live demo. Two sites have gone live recently, Hudson Crossing Park and focus on flowers.
Last week while traveling through North Adams, Massachusetts we came across this sign. It was not a warning for a speed trap or dwi check, but for a construction zone. If nothing else, it gave us a chuckle. |
|
September 2006 We're in Montreal, celebrating Jude's 50th birthday, staying in the most elegant hotel imaginable, the Hotel Nelligan. Jeanne Lefebvre, the Chef Concierge had fresh flowers, chocolate truffles and Champagne on ice waiting for us upon arrival. The room took Jude's breath away. |

The Story So Far In August 2001, after 24 years of working for a paycheck, I left the safety of steady employment in the rear view mirror and headed off for the local coffee bar. It was time to become a stay-at-home dad and raise my children full time. How in the world did I survive those 24 years without an afternoon nap? |
