Congrats to the Wens on 35 years!

May we be so lucky!

NLCS Game 3

Incredible outing by the Phils allaround. Almost removes the bitter
taste of the Birds' loss.

The Phils scored more points against one of the NL's best teams than
the Eagles did against one of the NFL's worst. Sigh, even on good days
it's hard to be a Philly sports fan.

Steak!

Perry's Filet at Perry's in downtown Austin, de-lish!

Barton Springs

This shot doesn't really do it justice, but this was a really nifty
swimming hole in Austin. It's fed by the same spring that supplies the
city's drinking water! (as I understood it). Definitely stop by and go
for a dip if you're in Austin. Now on to oysters, champagne, and
Mexican food!

Austin!

Day 2 in Texas = much better! This picture of the state capital is
from my post training class run, I had a great dinner downtown at
Louie's 106, and I got to walk around a bit.

Austin, TX

The inside of the Omni in dowtown Austin. Would have preferred
something more exciting, but the red-eye and a full day of training
wiped me out.

Congrats to Angie and Jason Kobrin!

And a wonderful job by the officiant and co-author of the photoblog!

Show Starter

I know it should be an action shot but I got caught up in the moment.
Each of the 4 times I had to jump start the car today. Now is anyone
interested in buying a 2000 Jetta that works great?

New Shoes

Pete's not Stef's. Real grown up shoes. Like maybe the first shoes
I've owned that I can't wear with jeans. The perfect way to celebrate
the 4 weddings and 6 days of job interviews I've been to this summer!
(grumble, grumble, lateness grumble)

Double up

From yesterday, sorry to dissapoint. Not pictured: watching football
on the couch and Malaysian dinner in Chinatown with Steve B

Palace of Fine Arts

Stef and I went on a photographic expedtion today to get some stock
images for various wedding stuff. This won't make that cut, but I
thought it was kind of cool.

Curling comes to CA!

Probably the best rock I threw all day, knocked out the other team's
rock and gave us the lead.
