On Monday and Tuesday Sam was preparing for the wedding. That meant a lot of tagging along (and then staying home) for me. On Monday Sam got her dress fitted and then we went to Jay’s house for a bit. I wanted to do a photoshoot there of her awesome modern+tropical house, but we weren’t […]
First Sunday in Bangkok
While in Bangkok on this trip Sam and I had the privilege of staying in her friend Jay’s brand new luxury condo in the heart of the city. Jay is one of Sam’s oldest friends and she’s actually the reason we made the trip to Thailand this year, as she is getting married on August […]
Seoul Korea
I am physically incapable of sleeping on an aircraft. This is now confirmed as fact. After a midnight flight out of LAX and 12 hours in the air over the pacific ocean we arrived at Incheon in Seoul Korea. Incheon has to be the cleanest airport I’ve ever seen. I was able to get a […]
“Shrugged” is appropriate
Unlike most Americans, I was alone on July 4th and decided to “celebrate” by catching up on my netflix queue. One of the films I watched was Atlas Shrugged (part 1). I’d already heard the production was sub-par, so that wasn’t surprising. What I was surprised with was how unambiguous but also uninformed the economic talking points […]
Home sweet home
I started blogging about our new home a few days ago, but I didn’t have any photos. On Sunday I went out with my camera and finally shot some photos around the complex. If you want photos of the inside, you’ll have to wait a bit longer as everything is still in flux. Perhaps […]
what to do
I haven’t blogged for more than five weeks. (UPDATE: I found some photos from some events in those weeks and have made some new entries and back-dated them since writing this post) It isn’t because nothing has happened. On the contrary, a whole ton of stuff has happened, but that’s partially why I haven’t had […]
Pasadena Chalk Festival
On June 16th, Sam and I went to Pasadena to meet up with Cindy. We were going to the chalk art festival, but there were other events coinciding with it that day. There is an ongoing series of free concerts in LA this summer, and one of them was going on just two blocks from […]
weekend food
Sam continues to make even simple meals at home into a culinary adventure. First a “simple breakfast” at home on Saturday morning. Afterwards we went downtown. We walked over to the main library, which Sam had never seen. When we got home we had crab legs. On Sunday morning Sam made a variation on chicken […]
Parasailing
On March 31st Sam had booked a para-sailing thing (cruise? tour? event? not sure what it’s called). On that day we went out in the rain and cold and the boat was ordered to turn around due to adverse conditions. We rescheduled for about six weeks in the future, when we thought it would be sunny, warm […]
Zion National Park day 2
On Sunday, April 29th, we headed back into Zion for our final full day in the park. Below is a shot looking back at the quaint little bungalow village we stayed in on our trip. We couldn’t decide which trails to visit as we felt that most that were left were easy. However, after some debate, we […]
