The Curse of Northern California

Nathan — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 22:31:43 +0000

It has been a funny last couple weeks, since another New Year’s Eve turned out to be a bust – I swear, I do not have good luck when it comes to NYE. I have been thinking about California in my life and it really isn’t good. The state seems to be fought with land [...]

Healdsburg, Wine & Fun

Nathan — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 21:43:59 +0000

Josh and I went on a quick trip up to Wine Country and stayed at the Hotel Healdsburg and ate at the Dry Creek Kitchen. The hotel was incredible and he and I both thought it deserves all the praise of hype. So many hotels are all intent and not follow through. The meal at [...]

BYE JOSH and GOOD LUCK!

Ellie — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 14:31:10 +0000

Dad,

Hope you are well. It has been so hot and humid here and G_Mom keeps us in the air conditioned bedroom, so I cannot get to the computer! However I figured out how to open the door and last night we got caught. G_Mom came home and we did not hear her….OH BOY…trouble in [...]

Hackintosh and Geekiness

Nathan — Sun, 16 May 2010 20:53:39 +0000

I am the proud owner of a hackintosh. Yes I know this is not allowed by the rules, but I wanted to see how easy it was and really would like an OS X box to sit here and stream media to my TV when my laptop is in use.

My new plan is to [...]

Kolkata, India

Nathan — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:42:21 +0000

Josh took this photo of me waiting on the platform of the New Delhi Railway Station with all of our luggage as we learned that the train would be 5 hours late. I was warned this might happen and at this point in the vacation we were both more that used to things in [...]

Agra, India

Nathan — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:11:36 +0000

Nathan not really awake on the train. We got up early again to catch a train. This one was a two person sleeper with no food. As you can see it is pretty roomy. We had a nice wake up ride.

This is one of the corner towers of the Jahangiri Mahal in the [...]

Jaipur, India

Nathan — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:52:36 +0000

If I recall this moment, I had been looking out the window at the people sleeping in the mud, the outdoor pit toilets, and the general state of how people live. I started to tear up at one point. It can be overwhelming how people live – the squalor and poverty.

I wanted a [...]

Delhi, India

Nathan — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:05:57 +0000

Josh and I started out our tour of Delhi by getting a cab to The Red Fort where we wandered around and acclimated ourselves to Delhi.

A quick walk across the street landed us in the front of Jama Masjid one of the largest Mosques in Asia. The area the mosque was pretty filthy [...]

Snofest in Greenville, Maine

Ellie — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:30:51 +0000

Kicking off Snofest in Greenville, Maine this International event pits powerful canine athletes like me, ELLIE, and our mushers against the legendary Maine snow and cold of winter!! All of the teams get all the help necessary from local people that have as much enthusiasm and fun as all of us dogs and our drivers. [...]

India Here I Come!

Nathan — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 04:05:08 +0000

In about 36 hours I will leave for Bangalore, India. This will be my first trip to India and my first trip to Asia that isn’t the Middle East. I am very excited to be traveling to meet the folks that I work with each day at CTS, see some of Southern India, and then [...]

My Ducati is Gonna Kill Me

Nathan — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:59:25 +0000

And not in the way you think! A letter of complaint about my lemon.

My 749Dark is parked in front of Corsa Motor Sports. It is locked up. My friend josh who lives nearby will drop over with the key to the ignition and the lock.

The brief history of this bike is that is [...]

Storm King Art Center

Nathan — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 19:24:57 +0000

Josh and I went up to visit Storm King Art Center on Sunday. It was a rainy day, but I was enticed by the spin they put on it. Something like, ‘the art looks different in the rain.’ I thought, you know I bet it does. After about an hour drive we arrived, payed the [...]

How are U?

Slobbie — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:30:42 +0000

Hi Ellie, What’s waggin? Well Cart and I miss you. I am writing because Cart still has educational delays that Mom has not corrected. I am the only one with the formal training to write to you. Any way, nothing too new here. We did get back our marrow bones after you left…don’t think you [...]

Where The Wild Things Are

Nathan — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:34:09 +0000

Josh sent me the link to the trailer for the upcoming film of Maurice Sendak’s amazing book. As I sat and watched the trailer, noticing James Gandolfini’s voice, tears were rolling down my cheek. I started to think about why and few things came to my mind, but for some reason the ending clip [...]
