To renew the lease or to not renew the lease, that is the question.

Missed a day due to a busy day and intoxicated night with family and friends. Its a leap year so I will still have 365 photos, it makes for a good excuse anyways.

Christmas eve was a fun celebration as is tradition for the Cypriot side of our family. Its one of the days my Pappou (grandfather) can come back from the nursing home and eat a real meal with everyone and we are all glad to share it with him.

Driving home at 11:30pm is kind of cool, there is almost no one on the roads and it goes by very quickly. The bane of night commuter's existence is the lights with no car sensors, the ones on a timer that let every side go every three minutes.

A pleasant and quiet walk through Passaic River Park, 90% of the tracks were all non-human.

Desmond helped me make sesame tofu with brown rice and broccoli today. He had a great time pouring the rice and water in the rice cooker, handing me the broccoli to chop, and most of all, getting to mix! I foresee him laying a three course meal out for us at 7, but we will see :)

There is something about the connection of head gear with a jacket that tugs at my heart strings. Many a chill has been curbed by your soft fabric.

The mid-atlantic and northeast is being slammed with snow as winter makes it presence known a few days before the solstice.

Des has been really taking on a personality recently. He loses himself in what is borderline maniacal laughter, happy to get everyone around him involved and in tune.

I can't think of a holiday that consumes more electricity than Christmas.

Oh how I love thee. I received an early christmas present of a coffeemaker because our feline housemates broke the old one I had.

I have decided to take a week of food related photos, starting with #65.

Got to visit the regional headquarters for a liability seminar at work, its fun seeing how the "bigwigs" work. They have free coffee all day, thats enough motivation for me to move up :)

First 365 submission taken with a cellphone camera. Liberally edited in Aperture though.

Working towards a full-fledged mastery with the spoon. Not only can it be consumed without a huge mess but now we have the leisure of intense observation while holding a big load!

When has cold ever kept a playful little bear inside? Well, I'm sure it will happen as it isn't even the solstice yet but I am very proud of this little guys spirit to stay outside!

Its been over a year since I have smoked a cigarette. My dear brother cannot say the same. At least it makes him a tame subject for photography. Thanks brotah.

First bit of snow to fall here in Jersey. Got an inch in New Providence. All in all a perfect day to not have to go to work.

Waiting late at work to make sure all the grease traps get cleaned out. I know they are done by the horrid smell of putrefying fat.
