Many things are going on. We bought a house. Our house rules. It has an awesome twisty curvy staircase and hardwood floors and a basement an an attic. It’s approximately three times the house we need and almost more house than we want. Today I…
Before it totally fades from memory, here are some more high points from Honduras: We hired a van to get from from the Lodge at Pico Bonito to the Maya Vista hotel in the town of Tela. The hotel was on top of the highest…
We had a member of the Russian national women’s judo team working out with my judo club this week. She was about my size – so I was a good person for her to throw a few (dozen) times. I think it’s great that the…
I seem to be achieving one of my goals for this house buying process – do as much as possible electronically – at least more than the last time I went through this dance. I hate FAX machines. I hate the “me use markum stick…

Home for a day, with redmed before headed to Honduras for a (well earned) week’s vacation tomorrow. On a crazy lark, headed to technolope and capital_ls place directly from picking redmed up at the airport last night. We had a fantastic dinner and made an…
I am in Hampton, VA. I have the same hotel room that I’ve had before. I’m pretty sure that’s a sign that I travel too much. Yesterday, I saw the Dalai Lama. He wore a Patriots ball-cap. It was awesome. Now I have *another* pile…
Is it seriously almost May? Holy crap. Just got back from a quick trip to New Jersey. On said trip, I … well … let’s just say it was work, a little stressful, it’s not quite done yet. You should see the other guy. I…
