Almost back

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

It’s Sunday morning in Boston. We’re relaxing at Meagan’s parents’ place with some coffee and pastries. Tonight, we complete the return home to Seattle.
The trip has and honeymoon has been fantastic, but I must admit to being a bit homesick for friends, modern conveniences, good food, and my own bed, so it’s good to be [...]

Zanzibar

Monday, August 11th, 2008

We’re on Zanzibar for another four nights. We’ve been here for five days but internet hasn’t been working. Such is life here, we haven’t missed it a lot.

Today we spent our third and final day in Moshi, again hanging out with Greg and checking out one of the projects he’s worked with, this time a vocational school outside of Moshi.

Fun in Vermont (Part 1)

Monday, July 28th, 2008

[Originally intendend to be posted on Friday afternoon (7/25)]
The days leading up to wedding weekend have been a blast.
The fun started on Tuesday night when I left Seattle after a furious packing effort (packing for both a wedding and an Africa trip is a bit challenging). One minor glitch was, of course, leaving my suit [...]

Headed east…

Rock the tail!

At last night’s Mariners/Red Sox game:

Start of a resurgent trend? Bring back the rat tail!
Oh, and, go Sox!

Genius

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Those that know me well know that if I wrote about every Onion article that amused me, I would be writing quite a lot. “That reminds me of an Onion article”.
But one today had me chuckling way more than normal.
Rain, rain, go away…
