I voted at 7AM. It probably doesn’t need to be said, but today is a historic election. Make sure you vote.

This photo is my submission for the New York Times Polling Place Project.

The family and I took a spontaneous trip down to Cape May County Zoo today and this was one of the more interesting shots I got. I don’t know what kind of bird it is, but it was moving rather slowly. The implied speed was a happy accident.

I took the wife to see John Mayer at the Borgata in Atlantic City last night. While I did go into it hesitantly, I will admit it was a great show (Our great position in front of the stage didn’t hurt either). He’s a tremendous guitar player and when you take his studio albums combined with his live performances he reminds you very much of a modern day Clapton.

Yes we can.

Jon pimped out our foosball table with floodlights at the Hive for better night time playing. Game On!

It feels strange posting this today since our town has the ass-backwards tradition of Trick or Treating on the 30th. A tradition which is wrong on every level. But none the less, Happy Halloween.

If this doesn’t deter you, I don’t know what will.
