It's a joyous, great announcement and this is the only picture that I could find of the two of them. Congrats on the wedding. We're super happy for them. The day is set for May 2007 at the Silcox Hut on Mt. Hood. For more info head over to Evan's blog.

I put in a quick call to my parents. Thought I might be able to bring them along for the ride to Washington DC. The cherry blossoms were out and the weather was absolutely amazing. I didn’t even notice that I was a bit hung over from the previous night’s birthday party, dancing and adult beverages. DC is a great city and this weekend it was even better. I’ve always wanted to see the cherry blossoms in person. Check. I'm glad I got that one done.

12 girls. 12 plexi boxes. A NYC intersection. And one interesting promotion. Evan, Suzy, Michelle and myself saw this one Saturday afternoon.

The Safari Club wishes it had a rack this big. Michell, Evan, Suzy and I went to the Natural History Museum and when they were in town.

Manhattan’s First Trader Joe’s


Opening weekend

Michelle and I have been waiting a long, long, long, long time for this to happen. Trader Joe’s opened its first Manhattan store. Unfortunately a ton of other Manhattanites were also waiting to be graced by the wonders of Trader Joe’s. Look closely at the picture and you can see the line people waiting to get into the store. It’s at least 300 feet long. It’s like going to Disneyland and waiting in line for Space Mountain, except it’s a super cheap ride that’s designed specifically for your palate. Michelle was so excited, that she hit the new TJ’s at 9 am the morning it opened for business. Evan and Suzy missed TJ’s so much, that they insisted that we visit the store when they were in town. TJ’s is here. I can’t wait until they open another ten. Then maybe it will be a close to a normal shopping experience.
