Milwaukee County Museum

Milwaukee!

The following photos were taken en route to or at the Discovery World Museum in Milwaukee, WI.

We're back!

I am a delinquent blogger.

My apologies to all my loyal readers. You've been deprived of my eloquence for too long. Today's post will catch you up on what's been happening.

First... it's 2009! 2008 was not the best year for us. I am confident that this new year will bring new challenges and great joy. I look forward to sharing these experiences with you all and have resolved to stay in touch with friends and family near and far. I encourage you to help me maintain this resolution by sending me a note every once in a while!

Panda and I started attending agility classes in December. She loves to jump and she's learning to love going through tunnels and tires. Thanks to our classmate for taking these photos!

This is Panda's favorite apparatus. "Box!"

I'll post photos from a Milwaukee trip soon!

Thanksgiving 2008

Louis playing touch football.


Panda and I went for a walk in the woods.


"...and that's how you write a Major chord."


Louis' cousin Jacob hamming it up.


In the grand tradition of his father, Louis sets up "Plasticville."


Louis' cousin Josh enjoying the trains.


Louis puts on the finishing touches.

Somerville Thanksgiving!

Louis spent all day in the kitchen...

...and was very successful!

We were joined by friends...

...who brought delicious sides to share.

Don't forget dessert!

Where'd all the food go?

Things I've learned from bike commuting

1. Drivers with Obama stickers on their bumpers are not necessarily better drivers. In fact, it may be an inverse relationship.
2. Never, ever trust that drivers will signal their intentions. They are more likely to run you over with glee.
3. Cold weather biking will make you a better biker. Balance improves quickly when your hands are too frozen to brake and your feet are the size of elephants.
4. The bike lane is really just an extra parking lane with an occasional biker weaving in and out.
5. Bike commuting is the MOST REWARDING life change I have ever made.
