Washington D.C. to Doha, Qatar! Here are some photo updates from the last week or so… Erin sent me some photos of a park she discovered when exploring our neighborhood last week. Again, you’ll notice she failed to send me any photos of her pretty face – so, if you want to actually see Erin …
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 …
The last couple of weeks have been intense and insane. Last week I logged just under 80 hours for the week. Up at 5 – at work no later than 6:45 – back to the hotel around 4 or 5, then a quick dinner or roomservice, work until 11:30pm or so – then to bed, …
Just a couple of updates from DC! My brother has arrived for a week’s visit. We planned this trip before I knew that my trip in Doha would be extended by more than a month. But – Erin and Scott will have a good time together! And – look what he brought with him (via …

Due to some changes in my project, I will be in Doha for several more weeks, possibly until March 14th. Things are very busy, and my days mostly consist of taxing from the hotel to the office at 6:30am, back to the hotel by 3:00pm, working from my spot on the couch until 11:30pm or …
It has been a really busy week at work – heading into the office by 6:30am and not shutting down for the night until 11:30pm. I haven’t had much time to update, or keep in touch with what’s going on back at home. Erin has called a couple of times, and we have mostly stayed …
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. Although the crowds were significantly smaller than his first term (about 600,000 people turned out this year) there was still …
Washington DC is on excited lock down! Loads of tourists in town, and loads of police securing the area. Yesterday I met a friend for lunch and a movie before meeting Erin after work. I had a little time to wait before Erin could meet me, so I walked around the Mall looking at rows …
