Mel and Westin

Another wedding -- this one close to home.  More pictures coming later, but here's our pre-wedding prom pose pic.

Sushi Mio

This was only some of the sushi that we managed to eat.  A great end to what may have been the longest four-day week in history.

Fried Egg Sandwich Perfection

I started making soup for lunch before I decided that didn't sound nearly as good as a fried egg sandwich.  And man was that a good decision.  

New Blood

A successful start to the season at the Sewanee Invitational for Emory XC.

And the new members of the team played a big part in the team's performance.  It's amazing what a difference a year makes.

Good Advice

Ellwood feels my new office is a bit too zoo-like.

Gear Day

(Most) of our Asics stuff arrived yesterday, so I spent all day sorting boxes, counting apparel, and making notes of everything that they forget/didn't ship/lost/sent the wrong item.

After Pics

It's not "gray," it's "sparrow."  

And the new ceiling fan looks a lot better with:  1) the light working, and 2) no sparks shooting out of the base. 

Emory/Berry Watermelon Run

A dual meet to kick off the season at Piedmont Park.

Vents

Don't worry, Mom.  I finally got around to it.

Home Makeover

Finally time to tackle the pink-ish hue of Jared's old room.  Not to mention the sponge-painting border around the ceiling.

Hill Climb

A great day to run up a hill for almost 6 miles.  

Athletically Challenged

It's a good thing these kids can run fast because the rest of their athletic skills are questionable.  You might ask why Ishan was standing in the canoe to begin with.  I would have no answer for you.

XC Time Trial

Emory XC season is under way!

Corner Office

New year, new job title, new office space.  The window looks out onto the hallway, but it's better than a wall.  

More CO fun

Colorado is home to wonderful scenery, awe-inspiring natural beauty, and tons of fun tourist activities -- and Taco Express breakfast burritos.  Guess where I started Jess's introduction to CO.

And then more CC fun-time at the BBQ for Ray and Rachel.

CO Time

I'm getting too used to seeing these guys on a regular basis.

And the night was made even better with giant beers, and a manly meal of steak and eggs.

Ray and Rachel

A beautiful wedding outside of Golden.  The bluegrass band for the reception was a fun touch.

And a fun mini-CCXC reunion.

Email Night

This picture may not be all that exciting -- but getting my "Reply To" folder down from 47 emails to 3 was pretty exciting for me.

To-Do Avalanche

When my to-do list stretches onto three post-its, I start to get worried.

Stocking Up

Official member of Costco.

Back to the Future

"Back to the Future" on the big screen as part of the "Retro Cinema" series at the movie tavern.  Jess had never seen it, and it was still as great as I remembered it.

You're kidding me

Returning Champs

Now that the NFL has their act together, it's time to get football season started!

Clown Cabinets

This all came from one closet and one kitchen cabinet.

Black Thumb

So apparently Jess and I share an ability to kill plants in short order.  We didn't even get to eat any of this basil before it was dead and gone.

Meet the Parents

Still slightly drugged up, but well enough to eat BBQ with Jess's parents who were in town visiting.  

Editor's Note

So I'm posting all the pictures I could find on my various cameras, iPods, phones, web albums, etc.  I am probably missing a couple that I'll add in the next couple of days, but I know I've been slacking and just missed some days, too.  I'll try to do better in the coming weeks!

Better living ...

Let's hear it for drugs!

Rations

Mom really didn't want me to go hungry.

Done and done

Glad that's over.

Fueling Up

Pre-surgery dinner at La Fonda at the end of an exciting day that included a phone interview on four hour notice and Mom coming into town.

Also, wedding invitation #5

Priorities

Post-vacation to-do list #1

Welcome home

Well, we're not in California anymore -- 86 degrees at 10:40 PM when we landed.

7/12-7/17

California trip -- pictures coming as soon as I wade through 300+ pics

About time

Wedding invite #4 -- glad that Jared finally got around to making this one happen.

Ding Dongs

When you get a craving, you get a craving

A new chapter

It can't be as good as his music, but I'm still hoping it's pretty good.

"You're a handsome devil"

Dobrasz's latest work -- he says I look like a hitman.

It's no Wonder Years

... but it'll do until Netflix gets their act together.

A favorite

It's not top-5 all-time, maybe not even top-10, but I can't imagine not having this album.  Especially for leisurely breakfast music.

Jimmy James!

This email made my day!  Kinda late notice, but great news that James will be in CA for Marcus's wedding.

America

Rockies at Braves for the 4th, with Ubaldo on the mound!

And compared to the rest of Atlanta we missed most of the rain and saw a great fireworks show.

Expo time

I don't really like crowds, but being at the Peachtree Expo is a lot of fun every year.

Back to Nike

Thanks, Nike, for finally making another soft, bouncy shoe.  It's no Skylon, but it'll do
