This year we decided to decorate the house for our (hopeful) trick-or-treaters in the neighborhood. We also attend a Halloween costume contest every year, that a couple of friends of ours host at their Brooklyn restaurant. We...
I was recently the featured artist at a Brooklyn restaurant, where I presented some new mixed media drawings I have been doing. I haven't had the time to get all the pieces photographed and posted yet, but...
During our recent visit out west, we were able to meet up with Adam before our flight home for a tour of the Sony Pictures lot. It's a very cool place and Adam is big man on...
For those of you who made it (and those who couldn't), here are some of my photos I snapped during Mom and Gerry's vow renewal party. If you are unable to view the above slideshow, you can...
As we were making pasta a few weeks ago, I decided we could use some fresh garlic bread to go with it - but we didn't have any bread. So, I dug through the cabinets and came...
With Charlie gone, Doug has been pretty lonely and constantly looking around the house for where Chuck may be hiding. So, we decided to contact the woman who works at the agency where we adopted Doug from...
As many of you know, Charlie was recently diagnosed as diabetic and we have been giving him insulin shots (twice daily) to help manage his blood sugar.Early Sunday morning, Charlie had a seizure which caused his...
I went in for Mohs surgery last Wednesday and left 5 hours later with 10 stitches and cancer free.While the actual surgery time is very quick, the process of testing the skin removed after each incision lasts...
Two weeks ago I noticed a mole on my chest that would bleed a little after I got out of the shower. It was a mole that stuck out beyond the surface of my skin, so...
Just before the snow arrived this month, I built a large flower box and bench outside our bedroom window. Grace talked me into making it a foot shorter then planned (which was obviously a good thing) and...
Since we will be in Des Moines on Christmas Day, Grace let Doug open one of his gifts early this year. As you can see from this photo, Charlie is very jealous of his new handsome sweater....
We decided to dress up our apartment's white walls a bit and wallpaper the two story wall where our stairs are. The stairs are fairly steep so we bought some 2x4's at the hardware store around the...
This year, Halloween snuck up on us and so we needed to figure out a costume a few days before a party we went to that was having a costume party. We came up with the idea...
I was doing some old school web surfing on Tuesday and I came across a brand new photo site which I am already a self-proclaimed fanboy of. As a long-time-fan of stuffonmycat.com I was already within the...
Last week Grace and I made a return trip to Milwaukee for the wedding of our two friends Zach and Kristin. We had never both been in a wedding together and that made the whole trip more...
Over the Fourth of July weekend, Grace and I took a bus to Boston and stayed at Brian's work apartment in Cambridge. It was definitely a hot weekend but we managed to walk around most of the...
A friend of mine from work recently won 4 tickets to a Mets game, so he took the four guys I share an office with. The game was stalled a bit during the 5th inning, as there...
I found some neat photos and the following video of the Des Moines flooding area around Dad's house. Sounds like it didn't actually reach his building even though the pictures look more intense.*click on thumbnails below to...
I recently worked on some new work for Freckle Face, a client from Milwaukee that I have been working with since they started. In the past I have done everything from the logo/identity, print work, a sidewalk...
Yet another great pair of pics, featuring Heather and Kris when they came to take the Craig-tour of 30 Rockefeller Plaza.We had a great weekend seeing some NYC and Brooklyn sites, while enjoying some great eats too....

So as I'm heading underground to catch my subway this morning, I catch a glimpse of a new 'sign' i suspect was posted by a not so official person....
We are sitting at the Jackson airport, waiting on our delayed flight to Houston, and just wanted to blog a big thanks to everyone again for helping to make our wedding so fantastic! Hope everyone made it...
Another great portrait of Matt and Shannon when they all came to take the Craig-tour of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Apparently they don't snap photos of people under 18 so lucky for Karlie, she won't have one posted....
There's a new addition to the McKinney family--yesterday we welcomed Charlie's new little brother, Douglas G. McKinney, home. There was a little tension initially, Charlie is pretty unsure about this weird & energetic little thing we brought...
Hi McKinneys! These photos from Craig's phone aren't great, but I thought I'd try out this blogging thing and share them. Hope you enjoyed the holidays and 2008 is off to a good start for everyone! --Grace...
When you visit someone in 30 Rock (Rockefeller Center) you have to check in and get a visitor's pass. If i pre-register guests, the visitor's desk will take a snap shot of the visitor when they arrive...
Rockefeller Center is home to many NBC owned stations - Bravo, USA, SciFi and Lifetime to name a few. Often when a new show is premiering you'll see a whole new set of advertisements pop up around...
Dad made it out east last weekend to check out our Brooklyn pad. We managed to eat at 3 fantastic non-tourist restaurants AND fit in a few of the sights too. We snapped a couple of photos...
Last Saturday Grace and I went to see a live taping of Wheel of Fortune at Radio City Music Hall down the street from my office, courtesy of Adam and his sweet hook-up (thanks again!). Generally speaking,...
my neighbor planted a vine on his side of the fence that (quickly!) took off and spread over to our side. it has these fantastic flowers that almost look too perfect to be real, so i...
Of course it took moving out of the midwest for me to survive a tornado. However, in all honesty, it wasn't all that close to me or our apartment - but it is till crazy that a...
So, we have a backyard that I fenced in (meaning put up some mesh at the end of the existing fence) so Charlie (our cat) can go outside and get in some sun. When he comes in...
