A Wonderful, Magical Animal
Off to the beach for the 3rd annual pig roast (here are photos from the past two years). Speaking of pig, I loved reading about this chef who got a new pig tattoo, partially inspired by a Simpsons episode. Don’t worry — I’m not planning on getting another one anytime soon.

Non-Beach Beach Weekend
Given that I wasn’t at the beach I spent a hell of a lot of time outside. After Jenn’s barbecue I spent some quality time on Jimmy’s gorgeous and tranquil rooftop (I’m going to plant myself there one day and refuse to leave — it’s that comfortable). Today I met up with Frank and Lauren

It Keeps Me Runnin’
Just got back from my longest run ever — somewhere between 5 1/2 – 6 miles. Thanks to the Joe running team, especially Gabby, who kept me company at my pace.

Show Me the Money!
Got a call yesterday from Nathan, who informed me that one of my pictures is famous — he’s featured in a CNN article, and I took the picture of him "reading" in the bathtub. Now I’m just waiting for the royalties to start pouring in . . . The Seattle pics are up but I’m
