Mark and Sarah get married
The happy reason for this trek out West was my little brother’s wedding. After his first marriage ended a few years ago, he had returned to bachelorhood and I didn’t quite know what to expect next. But then he met Sarah and her two kids and, well, after a couple of years of dating, they […]
I’m in Idaho!
Oh man, I do love a good trek. Like getting from Fez to Granada in a single day. Or, in this case, 4am wake up in London (after 3 hours of sleep, natch), 9am presentation to 85 lawyers, 12pm dash to the airport for a 3pm flight to Seattle, ten hours later (but still only […]
Table Rock
When everyone feels stir crazy but not yet ready for more left-overs, you head to the hills to stand in the wind and watch the sun set.

When you’re all together only every few years, you best take a picture while you’re at it.
Thanksgiving
Eighteen people representing four generations, four states and two countries, all under one roof! The culinary winners? Justin’s yams and Lady’s apple pie. Love these people!

Boise weekend!
This time last week, I was on my way to the airport to catch a flight to Boise. I’d found a good promotion on Alaska Air a few months ago and decided to seize the opportunity to shore up my position as the Favorite Uncle and catch up with my awesome twin sister. How did […]
Christmas!
For the first time in, gosh, how many years? I didn’t spend the month of December working around the clock to close a bunch of year-end deals. Instead, I had a great December full of sisterly visits, furniture shopping and — to top it all off — a white Christmas with my sibs and the […]
Stories to tell . . . later
Had a fantastic weekend, and I’ve got lots of photos and stories to share (spoiler: there are beaches and sequins and pecan cheesecake, among other things). But it’s late and I’m tired — and, since I spent the weekend (mostly) playing instead of working (as much as I should have), I’m going to need to get an early start […]
