Today marks the 2 week anniversary of the day I became a runner. It also marks my accumulation of 40+ miles run since I started (41 to be exact). A good day.
It may seem funny, that I’m so excited about this new running business, but I can’t help it. For a number of reasons, big [...]

It will probably be a quiet week on the blog, as I am busy wrapping up my Whatcom Land Trust web design project this week, in preparation for the return back to full time at the INN next week.
Check out the new pictures on the right side from my sister Lora’s graduation this last [...]

It’s been a good week. In all the busyness of this summer, it’s nice to be able to look back sometimes and say, "hey, it’s been a good week." Here are some reasons why:
My tomatoes are getting ripe. And boy are they good bite-sized snacks, a couple at a time.
I moved offices. This is good [...]

I’m up for speaking again tonight at the last Summer INN of the quarter. We’ve been going through the book of Acts this summer, reading along through a new book called "The Dust Off Their Feet," a retelling of Acts and commentary. It’s been a good read, with some fresh perspectives on what can be [...]

Tuesdays are such good days. At least when good new music comes out. Today, MAE released their 3rd studio album, "Singularity", which I am now listening to on my iPod as I get prepped for writing tonight’s talk for the INN.
I saw MAE perform live at the Viking Union at Western last spring as [...]

Ok, I have to be honest. I’m actually home now. We got in yesterday. I’m sipping a cup of French pressed Princeton blend coffee. And now, I’m going to finish the story.
With the subways pretty much out of commission, (oh, you should have heard the New Yorker on the street’s dismay), we took a long [...]

Right now I’m sitting in our Boston hotel room, with a slight headache, tired from a long day of traveling. Stacy and Jo are still sleeping, while Mark and I prep for the day ahead and still work on waking up. It’s 1pm EST.
The last 30 hours have been a whirlwind of travel. We woke [...]

Well, we’re back in the good ol’ Ramada INN of Boston tonight, after our two-day trip North into New England. We’ve seen a lot of country the past couple of days. First, up the coast to Portland, ME, weaving through the seaside towns along the Atlantic. Then across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont to Burlington, [...]

Bright and early this morning, we crawled out of bed at the Ramada of Boston, hopped on our favorite train into downtown, and picked up a Jetta rental car and headed North. I haven’t been feeling so hot the last day, so I spent most of the morning moving between helping navigate and sleeping.
Starting [...]

The second and third days of our epic Boston trip have come and gone. It’s been quite a whirlwind tour, but by the end of the day today, we have seen most of the sites in Boston we came to see. Which means we’re ready to head north tomorrow, into New England for a night. [...]
