Wednesday night was the final installment of my birthday celebration. RH bought us tix to see Wicked at the Fox Theatre. We had excellent seats…probably the best seats I’ve ever had at the Fox. That is, they were the best seats ever until two guys sat in front of us…two guys with HUGE HEADS. Seriously....

a really fabulous birthday
Yesterday was my birthday. It was fabulous. Really fabulous. As I’ve grown older, my birthdays have become more and more low-key and subdued. I used to really look forward to my birthday, and I would plan some really cool event like a massive dinner around a big tree trunk table, a trip to a cornfield...
yeah, I’m home. and I’m behind!
I’ve been home for over a week now, and I still haven’t finished going through all my pics and writing up my trip report. I’ve gotten distracted by wedding planning…there’s so much to do!
wrapping up our time in Seoul
Today is our last full day in Seoul. Take a look at this photo taken from the top of N Seoul Tower. See how huge the city is? I feel like we’ve managed to cover a heckuva lot of it! I’ll be writing it all up shortly, complete with pics. It’s been really, really great—I’ve...
greetings from korea!
I’ve been in Seoul for a little over a week now, and it’s been awesome! We’ve seen and experienced so much—from all kinds of food to art to family events—and it’s all been wonderful. I’ll post more details and pics later, but for now, enjoy this photo of a “guard” at Gyeongbokgung Palace. They do...
last-minute preparations
Well, I guess packing wouldn’t typically fall into the “last-minute” category, but it does this time. I haven’t even started. Today has been a crazy day. Work was nuts—to be expected, I suppose, before leaving for two weeks. Lots to wrap up and hand off. I probably missed a few things, but my team is...
yes, I’m a big nerd.
I can’t wait to try out my new compact flash card on the trip. It’s supposed to be blazing fast! And it’s huuuuuge!
countdown to korea!
So our trip to Jekyll Island was just awesome. Of course, it was awesome going away for the weekend with my new fiancé, but I enjoyed Jekyll even more than I thought I would. We stayed at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel, and the grounds were jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Our room was pretty sweet too. We...
guess what?
I’m a little late in blogging this…but if you follow me on twitter, flickr or Facebook, you’ve already heard the news by now. If you look closely at the Scrabble board, you will notice one set of letters that looks suspiciously like an illegal move…or, wait a minute…it’s a proposal! Yep, RH surprised me in...
it’s time!
I took this photo about 1,174 days ago in Beijing, in May of 2005. This clock in Tiananmen Square was counting down the days until the 2008 Summer Olympics. And now…they’re here! RH and I visited KM and AM to watch part of the Opening Ceremonies last night. I saw some folks I used to...
