Welcome to The Winter that Will Not End. At least that what it feels like. We even got another dusting of snow last night. A fresh coating on the still remaining 8 or so inches. While we don’t get nearly as much as New York, or other Northeast states, it feels like a lot for …
Last June we decided to paint our bedroom yellow. And then summer came and we focused on the garden, and all things outside. Other projects (like the roof… and basement…) took precedent. So, this past weekend when Erin was at her first massage clinic – I finally painted our room! At first I was shocked …
Erin left yesterday evening to spend Christmas in California with her family. A late departing plane out of Reagan left her sprinting across Newark airport to make it to her SFO flight – but she made it and arrived in San Francisco at about 12am this morning. Since Erin and I won’t be able to …
I’ve been back in the U.S. for over a week now, but haven’t spent any time updating the blog. So, here’s a quick post and some pictures to get you up to speed: Wedding We started out a crazy few weeks with a drive to central Illinois for the wedding of our friends Brandy and …
I’ll be hiding under my covers with my cats. This week has not gotten off to a good start. Monday morning I woke up to some frustrating news about a work project that I’ve put hours and days of planning into over the last month, and a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into over …

Well, more of a week wrap-up. We had a wonderful/busy/strange week, although at times overshadowed by the tragedies that seemed to keep occurring around the country – from the Boston bombings, to the explosion at the fertilizer plant in Texas. A hard week for America, and Americans – especially, of course, any person who was …
On Scott’s last day in DC, Erin took him to the Baltimore aquarium! While you may have heard me mention that it is not as impressive as Monterey, it is still pretty awesome. I asked Erin to forward some pictures, and you’ll notice she is missing – but, she got some good ones of my …
On Monday January 21st – also Martin Luther King Jr. Day – we headed out early in the morning to be present for the inauguration of President Barack Obama to his second term of presidency.
