november 22 2009. all it took was two quarters and a little bit of teamwork. after getting completely tricked by the new highway ramps in the city we grew up in, my sister and i ended up in new paltz for lunch. this was a complete accident that ended up having a ripple-effect of rewards. after having matching meals (onion-mushroom-bacon cheeseburgers with sides of green beans and chocolate milkshakes), i decided to try my hand at Hot Stuff (the claw) for my nephew, hayden. first try! reindeer down the shoot! nothing is set in stone, but i think i definitely helped my case for “coolest uncle” (at least for 2009).

november 21 2009. it’s nice to be around nature again. dad picked me up from the airport today and we stopped to play disc golf on the way home. it was more akin to a hike in the woods, with the addition of stopping every now and then to chuck a disc at some far-away chains (or, more likely, some nearby tree… i’m not very good) we climbed up some moss-covered rocks, clamored over a few rickety bridges, found a potential bear cave, saw a beaver-chewed tree, and had a good time catching up.

the streets of chicago are dirty and filled with glass. these are my hands after fixing a flat. i have ridden my bike in this city for three years without once getting a flat. in the past six months, i think i’ve had ten. what gives, windy?

lauriebreaker: so i started using googlecalendar again in attempts to organize my life. looks whats left over. tech crew is every week, kids. awwww breaker! it’s weird to have something be such a big part of your life for so long and then all of a sudden it’s just not… i miss the days when tc was so tight. i got to hang out with dana in september anyway, so that was cool! (you should be next!!)
