It was a sunny day, forecast to be the hottest of the week, so we decided to do most of the outdoor sightseeing this day. We hit the Smithsonian Castle, Jefferson Memorial, FDR Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, Vietnam War Memorial, Korean War Memorial, and the new WWII Memorial. Here are some photos and my…

A Glimpse of Spring
Taken after work Friday from a stairwell landing behind the Pike Place Market sign However, it’s back to being rainy today. At least it’s not cold out, I guess. What a tease!

Talk Versus Conversation
I was on the bus home today, reading blogs on my phone (yes, awesome I know), when I came upon a post I had been meaning to read for weeks titled, “The Forgotten Power of Conversation“. Expecting a sort of top ten list of conversation tips, was surprised to find something a bit more thought…

Spa Noir in Belltown
Last week Irene, Chrysti and I treated Val to a massage for her birthday. And what better way to celebrate your friend’s birthday than to join her? So that’s what we did. We went to Spa Noir in Belltown and needless to say, it was a pretty euphoric experience. They even gave us our own…

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…

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…

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…

New Year’s Eve 2006
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…

Seattle Windstorm
I can’t sleep…because of the wind? The windstorm outside is pretty out of control. It seriously sounds like someone is having a field day with some sheet metal outside my window. Listening to the newscasts now and they’re reporting gusts as high as 63mph on the 520 bridge. Crazy. Maybe it’s because I’m older, but…
