Long-Term Deal

New York Mets third baseman David Wright stands for the National Anthem in a game against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field in Queens, New York on April 7, 2012.

The Mets made sure its best player isn't going to skip town when free agency hits next year. Wright scored a $138 million contract extension keeping him in Queens for the next eight years.  So why am I blogging about this? Basically just an excuse to get a baseball picture up. Already looking forward to the 2013 season!

Birds Of A Feather...

A flock of birds takes off from trees in Parsippany, New Jersey on Thursday, November 29, 2012.

Every night since early fall between 4 and 5 p.m. hundreds of birds bounce from tree to tree around our apartment complex and chirp loudly amongst each other. My wife and I alway joke around about what they're talking about.

Taking Over Times Square

People celebrate the 100th anniversary of Albania's independence in Times Square in New York City on Wednesday, November 28, 2012.

I stumbled into this huge celebration while walking to the office today. I wish I would have had a longer lens with me. The guy on the statue would have looked a lot cooler.

It's Christmas Time In The City...

Bullet

My sister-in-law's bullet chills out in South Jersey on Friday, November 23, 2012.

Bullet knows what the Thanksgiving weekend is all about.

Jace

My nephew Jace shows off his tiger riding skills in south Jersey on Friday, November 23, 2012.

Taren and I spent Thanksgiving and Black Friday in South Jersey. It was an awesome couple of days hanging with family, eating great food, watching football and chasing Jace around the house! 

Thankful

Taren and I in Nashville, Tennessee back in March of 2011.

There's been a lot to be thankful for in 2012 -- For me, without a doubt it's being married to such a beautiful, smart, funny, awesome wife. 2012 h as been a busy year. It's nice to have a day to sit back and reflect on how blessed we are to have each other and such awesome family and friends in our life. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
