US World Cup Team Visits the White House
USA! USA!
Brooklyn Half
Last November I had the experience of a lifetime in running the New York City Marathon. It was the culmination of months and months of training and totally lived up to the billing as one of the best experiences of my life.
During the training for the Marathon, a funny thing happened - I realized I actually quite enjoyed running for long distances. The miles and miles traversed in the Park were...
coffee bag totes
As many of you know, I spend the better part of every day working with entrepreneurs who are starting or running businesses. Getting to see ideas put into action and (hopefully) turned into successful businesses is invigorating and something I’m really passionate about. The vast majority of the companies I work with are technology-based or technology-enabled and are often looking to raise...
Photo Shoot
Yesterday Tracy and Miller met up with Tracy’s friend Layne, who was in town visiting some friends. Layne was a student at Chapel Hill High School when Tracy was a Young Life leader there and is now a very talented photographer. In addition to catching up on life, Layne took some photos of Miller that are awesome.
Sailboats in the Park
Someday I’ll tell you about sailboats in the Park.
I’m sure you won’t believe me at first, mostly because I’m your dad and I have a tendency to take some editorial license when telling stories from the past. But then I’ll tell you all about sailboats in the Park. And you’ll know it’s true.
I will tell you about today, when it was just the two of us because Mommy was out of town visiting...
Daddy Day Care
This weekend marks a momentous occasion in Miller’s life - his first “guys weekend” without Mom.
You see, Tracy boards a plane bound for Dallas in less than half an hour, where she will spend the weekend visiting her great friend Heath along with several other of her college roommates. Though it was a little hard to leave “her boys”, Tracy left us well stocked with...
They Built Sioux City
on Rock and Roll
This is unintentional comedy at its finest. Hat tip to Eller for the link.
Metz (and the Overlook) gets some press
Great buddy Andy Metzler of Overlook fame was featured in the Kansas City newspaper for his extensive community service work (which also earned him a special seat at a game for his beloved Kansas City Royals).
Two things I love about the article - Metz gives a shoutout to the Overlook in his “Best Vacation Ever Taken” answer. And he settles once and for all his allegiance by...
Friday Photo Fun
As one of my college professors used to say at the end of class
“The sun is shining, the sky is blue, it doesn’t get much better than this”
On this Friday with the sun shining bright, I have to agree. For no other reason than because we captured these great pics over the last few weeks, I present some Friday Photo Fun.
Google's Chrome Browser is fast
A couple months ago I switched to using Google’s Chrome browser almost 100% of the time. I found it to be faster than Firefox and an overall better experience.
Based on the above Google Analytics stats for the last month’s worth of visitors to this site, it seems half of you are using Internet Explorer with only a handful experiencing the web via Chrome.
The folks at Google...
Spring has Sprung
As the calendar turns to May, I believe we’ve (finally) turned the corner here in NYC and are in for warm weather for at least a few months. This weekend it felt more like summer than spring, but we made it out to the Park on Sunday for a picnic with friends from church.
We enjoyed playing around without a need for jackets or blankets!
And Miller had fun hanging out with his friend...
Jensen is 3!
This is a day late but my tardiness shouldn’t be misconstrued as a slight against the lady of the day. That young lady is a year older as of yesterday, when our niece Jensen turned 3.
I remember distinctly the day Jensen was born…I was sitting at my desk at work when I got a call from my brother-in-law Jason. I was expecting him to tell me that Jennifer was in labor and the baby...
