Wyoming: Part 2
Jetlag and Whitewater Sometimes, jetlag can be your friend. Saturday, the plan was to go to the morning-after breakfast in Jackson, then chill out until we joined a bunch of folks from the wedding for a white water rafting trip on the Snake River. Welcome to Mountain Time, eastcoaster. So, you’re in Teton Village. It’s 05:30 and you’re awake with your camera equipment. Not too many options come to mind. Have to be at breakfast in Jackson at 10:00. Check. I get the car, Laura gets coffee for me and tea for her from the cafe next door. By a bit past 6:00 we’re heading to the park via Moose-Wilson Road. The recon from the day…
Wyoming: Part 1
Weddings and Recon Earlier this month we found ourselves heading to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. In a word it was a fantastic trip. That’s more than one word, but you get the point. Laura had never seen Yellowstone. I’d been once, but I was a kid. Maybe eight years old. I think I was younger to be honest so, I don’t know if that counts. Actually, it probably does. But more on that later. The occasion for us to go was for Mona and Will’s wedding. Mona and Laura have been pals since seventh grade in Kuwait. Lots of history there. So the decision to go was easy. Destination wedding here we come. With the Grand…
Laura’s Most Excellent Nia Adventure
Earlier this month a couple of important things happened. One, Laura had a birthday. That’s a lot of fun with the usual birthday stuff. With dinner at what’s apparently becoming one of our favorite restaurants: 18 Seaboard. The other big event that same weekend: Laura arranged to teach her first, full Nia class. Since getting her white belt earlier this year, Laura had taught a few songs in some classes, but her birthday weekend would mark her first full class instruction. I stuck around for the first three songs and took pictures. The class was held at Triangle Dance Studio and while it’s a great space for any sort of dance or movement activity, it’s…
Sunday Brunch Road Trip
So a few months ago I managed to catch up with my old friend Sean. And we’d talked about catching up while he and his family were visiting his parents in Virginia. Seems like as good an excuse as any for a road trip. Destination, Chateau Morissette for the world’s latest brunch.* The ride up was fun, with a scenic detour to check out Floyd, Virginia. Yes. There is a Floyd, Virginia. And they look to have quick the homegrown music scene starting to pick up there. In the course of the few minutes sitting in front of the Floyd Country Store to have a cup of coffee and borrow a WiFi connection to reroute…
And we’re back. . .
Got back on Thursday. Looks like the WordPress iPhone application managed to eat a post instead of. . . well. . . posting it. Not sure where it went, but essentially it was saying we were coming back. And included the photo here (taken on the iPhone). I have to say that aside from that glitch, the iPhone was nothing short of fantastic when I had a signal or a good WiFi access. Spent a good chunk of Friday, drinking coffee and doing a course edit on the shots from the trip. I’ve got a lot of work to do on getting this site together, but I’m thinking now it’s matter of getting work uploaded…
last round of 30s
So I had a birthday this weekend. Fairly low-key event. Had dinner with some friends Friday night, worked on a video project, had dinner again on Saturday (we planned on going to The Pit, but they were closed for a private party, but we were lucky enough to get reservations at 18 Seaboard. 18 Seaboard is a pretty solid choice. What I’d call a good jack of all. But I still haven’t been to the The Pit I’ll have to figure out another reason to go. We went for a night cap to Big Boss for a few rounds of Bad Penny. And then Sunday. Got out early and Laura and I took the pooch to the NCMA’s Museum…
Give me a second to set this up. . . .
Okay, this plugs into that. . . . Wait. Just a minute I think I’ve got it. Is this thing on?
