Back to reality...

You don't have to be Peter Pan to have a distaste for getting older. For the most part I have loved getting older (and hopefully a little wiser), but I do have one complaint. The lack of vacation time.

Every June, I feel like I am missing something. It gets harder to go into work as I know kids everywhere are getting let out for summer vacation. However, this summer I was able to remedy that a little bit. I took vacation for 2 1/2 weeks to Norway and France. This is the longest vacation I've had since 2002. It was a great relief. I haven't fully gotten back to Seattle time, but I am working on it.

Here are a few photos from my time in Norway.

First Train Home

I can't wait for Imogen Heap's new album to be released. I'm hoping she comes to Seattle again soon.

Some day...

I hope to have a wedding this awesome.

Doctor, doctor

Yesterday I went to the doctor. I saw a new doctor and as she was getting familiar with my chart, she piped up with, "Oh, I'm twenty-eight too!" The first thing that crossed my mind was, "Damn, what have I done with my life?" The idea that someone my age could have both figured out what they want to do with their life and finished all the schooling necessary to go into the profession was a little humbling to say the least. Regardless of my intimidation, my doctor was great and it was nice to have someone my age to talk to.
