Apparently, I’m still solidly on east coast time, as I woke up today at 6:30 and wasn’t really able to go back to sleep. It was still largely dark out, which inspired me to go chase some morning pictures. I’m two assignments behind in my photo class provided a little extra push. So I headed [...]
I returned to Seattle on Thursday morning, after a fun trip to Boston/Cambridge. The recruiting trip went well, but the better part was hanging out with Meagan’s family and seeing some old friends.
I arrived on Saturday, staying with Meagan’s parents downtown. Sunday afternoon, we watched the Head of the Charles Regatta. I took lots of [...]
I just signed up for Garagiste, in their own words, a “a selective, Seattle-based retail emporium dedicated to the wine artisan and consumer”.
I learned of it when Christopher Kimball, editor-in-chief of Cook’s Illustrated (a subscription to which is one of my favorite presents from Meagan), mentioned it at an event at work on Wednesday.
It seems [...]
I am leaving for Boston tomorrow. The primary reason is a college recruiting trip at MIT. But I’m very excited to see my wife’s parents (still not used to using the word “wife”, let alone “in-laws”, but very happy on both accounts). Also, thanks to the big comeback last night, I’ll be arriving just in [...]
We’re heading to Portland tomorrow night to visit my cousin and her family.
I was researching dinner options for tomorrow night and stumbled across this one: Beast.
First, great name for an upscale French restaurant.

That’s awesome. So obnoxious that we’ll have to try it - maybe not this trip though.
At the beginning of this summer, we purchased some outdoor furniture (and looking at those pictures, teak does indeed weather quick). It’s only fitting that at what hopefully isn’t quite yet the end of summer, we bought a new gas grill: the legendary Genesis E-310.
I’ve been considering this upgrade for a little while, but when [...]
If you gathered from the previous six posts that I spent a lot of time recapping the wedding, you’d be mostly right.
Medical school is back in session, so Friday night started off with a happy hour at the Duchess in the U. After polishing off a few beers, we headed to the Elysian’s Tangletown, where [...]
We’ve been taking it fairly easy since getting back from Africa, adjusting to life, post-wedding and honeymoon. I think I’m finally starting to feel normal. Normal enough, at least, to write a long blog post.
We got into Boston a few Saturdays ago, the afternoon of August 16th, and, after clearing customs and catching a cab [...]
Finishing packing, waiting for cab, heading east…great things await.
At last night’s Mariners/Red Sox game:
Start of a resurgent trend? Bring back the rat tail!
Oh, and, go Sox!
