2006 Year-in-Review
Here’s my third annual Year-in-Review blog entry! As usual, in words by season, in photos by month. In sum, it was a year of new stuff. Between getting the hang of life at the agency and playing in the roda, ’06 started with new challenges, in the good sort of way. It was also a…

Happy New Year +1 day! This New Year’s eve I went out to dinner with friends at May Restaurant in Wallingford. The service was a bit slow, but otherwise the food and drinks were all pretty good and I really dig the ambiance of the place. It was also just nice being out on New…
