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 […]

Liz and I manged to almost completely forget that MacHomer is playing this week at the Hanna Theatre. Luckily, we managed to remember in time to get tickets for this evening’s show, which played to a surprisingly packed audience. If you enjoy “The Simpsons” and have read or seen “the Scottish play” at […]

So, I’ve been meaning to catch up on things since last week, and just too busy and burned out to get around to it. I figure it’s about time, so here’s a little bit about our Turkey Day weekend.ThursdayWe slept late. It felt incredibly good. I spent much of the day in […]

For the record, lazy weekends pretty much rule.
Friday night we watched Bowling for Columbine, which simply has to be seen to be believed. It’s scathingly funny and incredibly depressing at the same time. Brilliant.
Saturday we slept super-late, which felt great. We went out for lunch, which turned out to be a disappointment, […]

In general, there’s been a general lack of bubblegum, and a corresponding abundance of ass-kicking this week:

Drove to Columbus with Liz last weekend
Had an awesome dinner at Martini’s in Columbus. I was pleasantly surprised to see a Vino Nobile de Montepulciano on the wine list, and the server was extremely happy that I knew […]

There is next-to-nothing happening at work right now, so…
Saturday

Lunch
Once we got all of us cleaned up and dressed, Andy, Liz, and I joined up with Lauren to have lunch at Amer’s, a deli place off of State. I had a moment of deja vu as I realized I’d been there before, in a […]

Yay, it’s my first live post from somewhere other than Cleveland — hooray for laptops and wireless LANs! We’re currently in Ann Arbor at Andy & Lauren’s house. We drove up last night, and will probably stay tonight as well. I let Liz drive my car, since I was feeling like crap […]

Okay, here’s the story of our trip to Stratford!
I wonder how long this post will take….
Thursday
Thursday we packed up my Jetta and left town about 10 am. It was a lovely day, though hotter and more humid than the forecast had otherwise suggested. I managed to not kill either of us (or my […]
