Halloween

October 31, 2011 – UTC

Now that we have kids and live in a neighborhood that does trick-or-treating, we’re starting a tradition of decorating the house. Our street doesn’t go as all-out as 16th and 17th Avenues do here, but most houses decorate significantly. Since our house was built by the guy who created Rainier Beer, we thought it’d be [...]

Eva is 10 months old

October 20, 2011 – UTC

Eva is 10 months old today. She’s crawling on her knees now and stands up on her own, with the help of something to pull herself up with. She says “daaa daaa” a lot, which everyone but me thinks is “Dadda”. Eva at 9 months, 8 months, 7 months, 6 months, 5 months, 4 months, [...]

Hudson had his tonsils and adenoids out this morning. That’s a Tonsillectomy and Adenoidectomy, what the doctors refer to as a “T&A”. You’d think doctors would know that abbreviation.

Elysian Great Pumpkin Beer Festival

October 8, 2011 – UTC

We finally made it to Elysian’s pumpkin beer festival this year. I love pumpkin beers, it’s one of my favorite styles so I’ve been looking forward to it since I missed it again last year. This year they had it at their new (huge) brewery in Georgetown and they sold tickets so we were guaranteed [...]

Steve Jobs

October 5, 2011 – UTC

I’m sad that Steve Jobs died today. Steve Jobs, among a couple others in the early days of personal computers, inspired me as a kid to make software and, hopefully, one day create my own software business. His entrepreneurial story in the late 1970s, building a computer in a garage and selling it, amazed me. [...]

Date Night

October 4, 2011 – UTC

For this week’s date night we went to Sitka & Spruce, another place we’ve been trying to get to. They also do a bunch of small tasting plates. We got a 5 or 6 dishes and 2 were very good, the others were so-so. Before dinner, we had a cocktail at Bar Ferdinand, which is [...]
