Props for my pa

If you haven’t read today’s Seattle Times yet, grab a copy and flip to the Travel section. One of my dad’s pictures is on the front page. If you don’t have access to a copy of the paper, you can see it online:

The difference a year makes

After watching the video of Ronan last year, I’m amazed at how much he’s developed in a year. He’s so fast now - superhero fast. I mean just look at this picture! I’m sure Nick shot this at a super high shutter speed, yet Ronan is still able to defy being captured in pixels.

Ronan & The Crocodile, a Christmas story

I’m posting this movie almost a year after I shot the video for it. Today was actually the first day I was able to download the video off my little flip camera (a pleasant side-effect of the forced Vista upgrade). It is my first effort at shooting something and editing it into a movie. Good thing I’ll have at least one fan out there (Ronan’s mom).

Hi-ho bunny!

Nick and I babysat Ronan last night so Mike and Anne could enjoy their anniversary sans toddler. After a round of playing drive-thru espresso stand (his game, not ours), it was time for a ride on the pony. Of course, what would a ride be without a stuffed bunny? Eat your heart out Tonto.

Rendezvous

Nick in People’s Park across the street from Tempest

Nick and I were missing each other like crazy earlier this week, so we decided to meet in Tacoma for dinner. I picked Tempest, which is owned and run by Tom Douglas’s sister. I’d heard fantastic things about her cocktail concoctions and the food was well-priced.

Little did we know that it was located in the heart of Tacoma’s infamous Hilltop neighborhood or that Tempest was a gay bar. Neither turned us off of the place - it really was a fantastic neighborhood bar. It did, however, add to the adventure of rendezvous.
