Casino Baden-Baden
Baden-Baden – Day 1 On Thursday, Val and I took the train (actually 3) to Baden-Baden, the famous casino and spa town. We arrived in the afternoon and walked around before having dinner. We ultimately ended up in this bizarre little restaurant filled with smoke and chicken dolls hanging from the walls. This oddity aside,…

Tübingen, Germany
While in Germany, I stayed about 3 days in Tübingen, the university town that Val is studying at this semester. Besides teeming with college students, I soon learned that the streets there are filled with chubby-cheeked, blond, blue-eyed babies, and a disproportionate amount of people carrying ice cream cones. No, really. It’s rather bizarre. It…

London Sightseeing
My parents arrived to London Saturday morning where we met at their hotel in South Kensington. It was a pretty eventful next 3 days where we went sightseeing and I had the chance to show them around (namely via Tube). During their stay we went to the Natural History Museum, Westminster Cathedral for Sunday mass,…

Working from London (Days 1-4)
Six months ago this city was pretty foreign to me, so it was comforting to arrive and actually know my way around, more or less. I spent my first 3 days in London working from our office here and really enjoyed it. Not to mention, my jet lag wasn’t nearly as bad as it was…

Cinco de Mayo Cuatro
05/07/07 This weekend Ryan and I hosted our fourth annual Cinco de Mayo party at my place. And since my camera’s broke and I’m now in the habit of sharing photos from other folks’ cameras, here are some pics from Kevin. Good times. My fridge is now packed with leftovers, particularly clams. But good stuff!

Team Events
Last week my teammates from New York flew in for the agency’s annual analytics summit. It was one very eventful week including Happy Hour at Ibiza, dinner at the Pink Door, another dinner at Salty’s, a night out at the Garage, and a final Happy Hour at Fado. Fun stuff, but was quite exhausted by…

Geocaching Sunday
Today I went geocaching with Ryan and Kevin around Ravenna Park and the Arboretum. We found a record 9 caches in the three hours we were out and about. Glad it finally feels like Spring (minus the allergies).

April in Seattle
For the first time since November, I don’t have a trip lined up. Traveling has a been a lot of fun but it’s also good to be home to and see friends, enjoy life in Seattle, and get back into the swing of things. That and it’s nice having my suitcase off the floor and…

Week in Florida
Happy to report there’s free Wifi in the Ft. Lauderdale airport. So I leave to Atlanta today and I must say, this is probably one of the better trips I’ve had out to Florida. It was on business, but it was good meeting a client with whom I had exchanged so many e-mails and phone…

Week in Philadelphia
Last week I made my first trip to Philly for a business trip, namely to attend the AA|RF Global Solutions Summit. Besides team events, training in the Philly office, and an evening walk to find the Liberty Bell, the week was much about leveraging data and cross-discipline knowledge sharing. By the time the week was…
