Quite Early Morning
My sleep patterns are a little erratic at the moment, likely due to a week of vacation (including one sunrise and several naps) and the stress of returning both to work and panic about my triathlon training. Yesterday, when I woke up at 5:30, I uploaded my pictures and then fell back asleep for a

The Trail of Tears
Slowly easing back into reality after a week’s vacation at the beach. Highlights included several outrageously delicious meals (grass-fed beef steaks, grilled veggies, gumbo, steak tartare, paella, shrimp tacos . . .), a handful of solid runs, some major beach naps, dogs in costumes (not sure I’ll be living that one down for a while)

Hold the Line
For the record, this is the sunset from the ferry on the way home. I didn’t get a picture of the stunning pink sunrise I saw Sunday morning. Another great weekend, including an fantabulous Saturday night dinner from Iron Chef Joe and his sous-chef team, a rockin’ jam session on the beach, a four-mile run,

For Real Fourth
Given the somewhat gloomy weather, I managed to have a very good Fourth of July. Started out with brunch and a bike ride with Lauren and Frank — we started at my place and biked up to the GWB (as you can see here), and managed to stay relatively dry in the process. After a

Faux Fourth
Although it wasn’t really the fourth, it was still a blast, and I still got to sing the Star Spangled Banner (and there was still pig . . . and beans, and yucca, and some killer hot sauce). Pictures from the weekend are here.
