Things to know
Posted on May 14, 2008 by Dan in family, random.**Down to the final three celebrities on Dancing With the Stars…I’m pretty excited about it. Yes I know it’s kind of lame but, I love ballroom dancing and I’m not ashamed. **Meghan asked if I was now a *Chicago Bears* fan, I think because of the “Go Bears” sign in my office window (see picture […]

Late Night Updates version…4?
Posted on March 3, 2008 by Dan in family, kitties.**This weekend was lovely – 60 degrees and sunny. And headaches.

Doing some cool things, well, cool-ish things, things that we really enjoy (going out to brunch, movies, bookstores, etc.) **We organized the […]

Fellow blog inspiration
Posted on February 28, 2008 by Dan in family.So, I’ve really enjoyed one of the only blogs I link to from here, DC365. I appreciate it not only because she enjoys a good restaurant, and is funny, but also because the premise of the blog is one that I can get behind – being a tourist in one’s own city/area. It was always […]

A year in the life
Posted on February 9, 2008 by Dan in Cal, city walks, family, friends, kitties, San Francisco, travel.I was sitting around here tonight enjoying my fantastically quiet evening and realizing that this time last February I was still in grad school. In fact, this time last year I was probably sitting at home hanging out doing nothing (unless Dana dragged me out on the town) and watching TV. Isn’t it crazy what […]

Photos from the sheep farm
Posted on January 22, 2008 by Dan in family, travel.900 sheep on the sheep farm. Plus, some horses, dogs (Great Pyrenees, who live full time with the sheep) and 2 llamas (named Troy and Ben, for the Steelers players, who protect the sheep from coyotes…no, I don’t understand how the ratio works) It was actually sunny and NOT an Artic tundra outside as they […]

Saturday?
Posted on November 25, 2007 by Dan in family, travel.So, I kind of forgot that today was the UVA/VT game – what a bad bad fan I am. It was a big game! Decided who would play for the ACC Championship! Good thing we won. Apparently, it was quite the good game. Hooray for our season not being over. However, the polls are all […]

Happy Turkey Day! Part 2
Posted on November 23, 2007 by Dan in family, food, friends, kitties.Did you know that a bear can suddenly become a bird and it eats worm pie baked in Dora the Explorer’s oven? I didn’t, but it’s true! It’s true… again, and again, and again. Also a blue wagon filled with a mop, swifter, and vacuum accessories becomes the Blue Cleaning Truck that drives in circles […]

Aeroplane.
Posted on November 22, 2007 by Dan in family, travel.Yes, we’re in Nashville, yes we travelled on the day before Thanksgiving. I don’t know how many other people have heard that this is actually the busiest travel day of the year, but I definitely have, so it makes perfect sense that I, who don’t especially like crowds, and slow moving people in airports, should […]
