My Idiot College Friends
Recently I spent a good chunk of the day with a friend and his buddies from college. First we went out for a few drinks, then met up with them later along with another slew of his college friends. As I listened to them joke around and watched them interact, at some point I commented

Extra Toasty Pine Nut Action
Had a great inaugural weekend at the beach, with a gorgeous beach day on Saturday, a delicious lamb dinner, and great company. Thanks to Rob, Bill and Sam for joining me! The "extra toasty pine nut action" refers to a conversation we had about the toasted pine nuts that I put in my spinach salad

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

Paris Recap, Part 2
After sleeping for 11 hours, I geared up and wandered across the Seine to the Jardin du Luxembourg, where my Dad told me that he saw many Parisians jogging. I got completely lost on the way there, but had a lovely walk, and after a good run I wandered back along a different route, taking

Paris Recap, Part 1
I’ve gotten a bit of grief from the peanut gallery that I haven’t given a detailed rundown of my Paris trip, so here goes. As a bit of background, with the exception of my last night, I stayed at a studio apartment owned by Blue Marble, the company through which I’ve done my bike trips

A Picture of Paris
