A Tale of Two Hikes
| Monday, October 12, 2009 | 3:42 PM
You're so far away from me
Near the end of our Hawaii trip, Luke, Mandy, Claire, Morgan, and I all headed out together to do a little hiking and enjoy the sights. The Bakers were going to take a hike down to see the tide pools, while Morgan and I were headed up to hike to a lighthouse. As we reached a turn in our hike we gave Luke a call, and had him take a photo of us, and we took a shot of them. Enjoy:

I would walk 500 miles
The "Honeymoon"
It had been remarked by more than one person that Morgan and I looked very much like we were on our honeymoon. Given some of these photos, it is hard to disagree.[Update: We just held hands on the beach.]
Oh, one other thing: Hawaii is awesome.

The Pittsburgh/Baltimore Trip

I was born on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay.
UPDATE: All the pictures are now up: Baltimore/Pittsburgh 2009
Sven and I took our annual baseball trip this past weekend, hitting Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Both cities were quite nice (Pittsburgh amazed me), both stadiums were beautiful, and our seats at both games were fantastic. The rest of the pictures are soon to come.

Top Five: Little Things People Do That Drive Me Crazy
| Saturday, August 22, 2009 | 9:00 PM
Memory will rust and erode into lists.
- Leave their shopping cart in the middle of the parking lot.
- Refusing to use their turn signal when changing lanes or turning.
- Leaving their cell phone ringer on loud when in a public place, even after it rang.
- Littering, especially out of the window of their car.
- Failing to obey basic traffic laws while biking on the street.
