I’ve heard that the measure of a party’s excellence is how much one hurts the next day. By this metric, I have officially had the best birthday party ever. We wound down around four this morning, and I’ve just rolled out of bed to assess the situation, begin the first round of Advil, […]

Another fabulous win for my productivity today–my cube was completely dismantled, moved a few feet to one side, and put back together again, allowing a new cubicle to be built in between me and a neighbor. I was told to expect “an hour or two” that I wouldn’t be able to get anything done […]

Thanks to my wife for spotting this particularly amusing reminder of why I love Google News:

Had a lovely weekend.
Gorgeous day yesterday, perfect for taking care of some last-minute errands and running down to West Point Market with Karla to pick up groceries for Liz’s birthday dinner.
Did some errands with Liz today (frame shop, Radio Shack, etc.), enjoyed helping set up her Tivoli iPod radio gizmo, played some Wii (the Rayman: […]

Had a nice visit with my parents this week; their arrival was delayed from Friday until Sunday thanks to the weather in Denver, which allowed us a couple of extra days to get things in order. They’re back in Mountain Time now, driving from Phoenix to Durango. Highlights include:

Sunday: Stayed in bed all day, sleeping, watching movies, sleeping, catching up on Cerebus and Flight, leftover Indian food in our PJ’s, snuggling by the fire and listening to […]

Go kick some ass, hon!

Liz and I took a well-deserved three-day weekend trip to Ann Arbor to celebrate our anniversary a little early. It’s hard to believe that six years of marriage have gone rocketing by so quickly!
Friday night we enjoyed a good wander around downtown Ann Arbor, discovered, to the peril of my credit cards, the Vault […]

After a Monday night of drinking high-end sake and feasting on exquisitely delicious sushi with my high school buddy Josh, we hauled our sleepy behinds up to Napa for the kick-off of the week’s wine country adventures.
We spent pretty much all day Tuesday at Tres Sabores, getting a tour by way of working for the […]

My recent vacation photos hiatus is in part due to spending last weekend being all responsible and grown-up and stuff–Laura, one of my nieces, came to visit us for the weekend. Note the use of the word “my,” a big step for me, as for most of the past seven years, the girls have […]
