If love dogs, the below video is worth the two minutes it’ll take you to watch. It comes courtesy of photographer Mark J. Asher, a fellow Californian, dog lover, Subaru driver, and guardian of Payton, a Stella look-a-like. Two years ago today I was getting settled into my office in our new home, getting used […]

In what felt like the first official party of the summer, we made the most of our yard Friday night for a crazy impromptu BBQ that turned into a rockin’ good time and tons of fun. From enjoying Cati’s most delicious sangria to cruisin’ on Jami’s “Paid 4” bicycle (as dubbed by Alex) to break […]

Two years and three days ago Jen and I became first-time home owners. June 14, 2004 is when we closed on our house. One year ago I posted this entry: 1 Year of Home Ownership. One of the many cool things about having a blog is for the (public) historical record it creates. I can […]
