Jen and I have now been to Portland, Oregon twice — both over Labor Day weekends. The first trip was Labor Day weekend 2001 when we were living in San Francisco. And the second trip was earlier this month when we went for our friend Katie’s wedding. We’ve loved it both times. Portland is such […]

After a 5-month hiatus (I warned you: summers are busy), our Saratoga Wine Club reconvened last night at Mara and Vinnie’s great new place for a night of action-packed wine tasting, delicious food, and good laughs. The new format combined the tried and true hidden wine in a paper bag method with a new one: […]

Last night Jen and I attended an Obama rally at the Masie Center to watch Obama’s acceptance speech. Along with running into a few people we already know, we also met a new Blog Master G reader, who recognized us from the blog (always a fun experience). We talked with him for a bit before […]

Tonight at the Inn at Saratoga: (Taken from my new (p)i(mp)Phone, which is better than I could’ve ever imagined — and it’s only Day 1.) Like most summers, this one is flying by already — 2+ weeks since my last blog entry?! — and we’ve done so many awesome things that it’s impossible to blog […]

NYC & Avenue Q
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 · Comments Off on NYC & Avenue Q
Last weekend Jen and I cruised down to Manhattan and had such a fun time that we questioned why we don’t go more often. From Saratoga Springs, it took us only 2.5 hours to the “Welcome to Manhattan” sign just past the George Washington Bridge, and only about 3 hours total to get to the […]

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy birthday, Mom! Thank you for always being such a supportive, caring, and loving mother. Your being there to cheer me on for my first marathon meant so much to me. It’s no coincidence that you and Dad are now the proud parents of two marathoner sons. You’ve always told us that we could do […]

Rock n Roll Marathon

San Diego, CA. June 1, 2008. 26.2 miles. Chip time: 3 hours, 40 minutes, 5 seconds. I ran a marathon. I am a marathoner. Those are words I never thought I’d be able to say (or even thought I’d want to say). Just 6 months ago, the notion seemed insane. On Sunday, June 1, 2008 […]
