(As always, much more and higher res photos can be found here) On Sunday we had lunch with D & G, Sam went to elementary school in Thailand with G. After lunch at a French Bistro they drove us to Sports Basement where we rented bikes. We took a leisurely ride across the Golden Gate […]
OSU vs. Cal
On Friday Sam and I headed to LAX to catch an 8pm flight to San Francisco. Because of “fog” (how unexpected for San Francisco!) our flight was delayed by two hours. We finally arrived at our airBnB rental long after midnight but were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. We’d probably have to […]
Denver Tuesday
On our last day we “took it easy,” joining J, J &N for breakfast before a trip to the Denver Botanical Gardens in the morning, just a few blocks from their house. We saw some tiny hummingbirds (yes, tiny by hummingbird standards) and I struggled to get a shot. There were no good clear […]
Monday in Denver
On Monday we walked to Snooze’s for breakfast and returned with take-out to eat with J, J, J’s mom and little N. Around noon we headed west again, driving past the old Argo mine in Idaho Springs again before heading south and up Mt. Evans. The highway going to the peak of Mt. Evans is […]
Sunday in Denver
On Sunday we stopped by Whole Foods before heading to Red Rocks. Red Rocks amphitheater would undoubtedly be a great place to see a concert, but after seeing Zion National Park and the red rocks in Arizona, these Red Rocks were not as impressive. We walked up around one of the trails and then consulted […]
Saturday in Denver
On Saturday immediately following the closing whistle of the OSU opening game Sam and I headed to LAX to catch our flight to Denver. We needed to drop off the car at a parking lot first. Sam had reserved a spot weeks in advance, however, when we reached the parking lot there was a cone […]
Copro Anniversary Show
After the bachelor party I got a bad cold. It’s otherwise unmentionable except for the disappointing fact that it was the first time I’d been sick in nearly two years, so the counter was reset. Fortunately Sam was still in China, so my being sick didn’t ruin any plans or make her sick. Ironically she […]
B Party
For about six months I’ve been planning Byron’s bachelor party with his groomsmen. On Friday, he finally walked off the plane and the party started. Byron was so excited for all of this that he created a custom tumblr page for pre/during/post event media: Obviously most of the photos in this post are cell […]
Only in LA
After work on Wednesday a coworker and I did the regular sunset hike in Griffith park. The regular crew cancelled because it was cloudy and could possibly rain. The two of us from Kaiser decided we’d go anyway. When we got to the top we saw six or seven vehicles parked there. This is an […]
Sunset Hike Griffith Park
Now that Cyndi Lauper has left Los Angeles fate would still try to ruin our rescheduled sunset hike. The first strike was a record setting heat wave raging across the southwest. The temperature at Griffith was at least ten degrees warmer than normal, but in a dry heat with a little breeze it wasn’t back breaking […]
