It was a gorgeous winter day out yesterday. Kenny and I spent a few hours just moseying around the Muttontown Preserve. After re-reading The Great Gatsby and Nelson DeMille’s book The Gold Coast I have found great curiosity in the estates and homes that have in the past and in some cases still pepper the relatively small area known as Long Island’s Gold Coast.The immense wealth and decadence is amazing. We walked quietly through what was left of the snow, poking around the ruins of the Knollwood Estate. It is now nothing more than a sad, lonesome speck of its former glory - a true ruin. With each passing year, the Earth takes a little more of her space back and the memory of Knollwood fades even further in to the past.
Do you know that song Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead? I don’t know why but I can’t move passed the idea that the trees are fake plastic and not fake comma plastic trees. I don’t think that the comma is necessary and it may in fact be grammatically correct to forgo said comma but it still vexes me. I’m also strangely obsessed with the fact that Tom Yorke has that wonky eye that seems to be in a perpetual state of almost winking. That and he looks a liiiiiiittle too much like a gelfling from the Dark Crystal but that is a whole other conversation for another time.

Non-Moto: Baitacular

I don't really know if Baitacular is really a quality that I would ever personally strive to achieve, but, okay. I suppose there are equally idiotic adjectives floating around out there in common-speak. Just remember baybeez... you saw it here first!

I snapped this pic as we slowly drove along the expressway on our way home from NYC last evening.
Each day can be like a game. You never know if loving people or hating people will win. Tick one down in the love column for me.

The first person who looked at a turkey and decided that it looked like good eats must've been one seriously starving mofo.
A happy and safe holiday to you and yours. Be careful out there on the road. People drive like idiots! Hmmm. Maybe I should laminate up some one finger salute cards for you guys...
