I just knew the confirmation this morning was too early!  Just got the text ...something happened with daddy and the boyfriend and now she can't go but wants to reschedule....again!  At least she is really sorry.  Ha!

I just woke up...took advantage of the lack of a shoot and got an extra 6 hours of sleep.  I can't really complain too much about that.  Time to get ready and go to Einstein's.

k  Greg you must be cursed with what just got out of...the "OMG I have to re schedule" cycle.. and usually always within 12 hours of the shoot (or less) so you have no time to get a standby... and whenever you dont have the time...your'e inundated...go figure...

we feel for ya'  and look at the bright side...you got your beauty sleep....lol... could be worse..after a lovely dinner last night...our sink clogged...unable to snake it...had to rent a super duper one for Home Depot...
tooo heavy for ed to drag it up to the roof...so he had to take it it apart and put it back together on the roof....

and the back up went all over the kitchen and living room...nice   at least it wasnt the bathroom...lol

I think I may have had a better evening than you.  How is that possible?  Babysitter sat on babies and the wife and I went to Cafe Cibo for dinner.  That place is always yummy.

Oh, speaking of snakes...when my boy found it interesting to shove toys and tubes of tooth paste down the toilet....I bought a 6' super snake of sorts from Home Depot for about $50....you must have needed an ANACONDA SUPER DUPER 500' SNAKE or something.  Yikes!

Little over 10 years ago,I moved away from Long Island,
thankful I would never drive a truck on that decrepit overrated
sand bar....
Today I was reminded why I wished that decrepit overrated sand
bar would burn...
Traffic is now 5x worse than 10 years ago,even with the improvements(ie a few lanes added,they needed to build at least 4 more freeways because
most of the highways trucks can`t go on,thank you envirofucks..
People are still selfish assholes.......
People are still dicks...

Yes,Chris is stressed like he hasn`t been since before May 2000

And because of those "envirofucks", you have some pristine beaches and water to shoot in and around. If it were left up to most businesses, they'd look like a cesspool..  So yea, give them a hug...

Those same envirofucks were the reason 4 freeways on Long Island/
Queens/Brookyn were scrapped,which would have made it MUCH
easier for trucks to get around Long Island,Queens and Brookly.
There are only 2 ways to get out of that area,I495(The Long Island Expressway)
which is the Only expressway that goes the length of the Island,and is on the north side.
The south side has a Freeway(Sunrise Hwy,st rt 27)that becomes
more like a blvd with lights in Nassau county..
Half the time trucks have to go through local streets that you can barely make turns on with little or no traffic,which during daytime hours is choked with traffic)
Keith,I had 2 stops litterally 5 miles apart,if this was a normal region
it would have taken me 20 minutes tops....
However,because the hwy was a parkway(no trucks allowed because
the bridges have clearences of 10 feet or less,my truck 13`6)
I had to go 25 miles out of my way,with local streets and traffic,
took me an hour and a half...
A freeway was proposed to be built over the parkway as it is a major
North South corridor......the envirofucks said no because they didn`t
want the pretty stone arch bridges replaced..(meanwhile look
at our own suncoast parkway...its pretty and trucks can travel on it)

If it was about architecture then those were NOT envirofucks.  Perhaps historicalfucks, but not enviro...  And no offense, but if drivers can do it in europe, it can be done here. Yes, it's an inconvenience and I understand what you're saying, but it is truly amazing how we want to destroy so much history in this country. We're not much for working with the history to make things viable, it's all about slash and burn. Try driving around germany or ireland.. It's an eye opener.
