    I don’t think I’ll be up for doubling our count next year, but you never know! Amy has read that a north/south orientation is better for capturing sunlight so we thought we’d give that a go.

  • easter 2013

    As with last year, we took to Cardigan for Easter. Though there is still well over a foot of snow on most of the mountain, today was glorious, whereas last year was chilly, gray and brown. I had slightly more luck sliding this year than last too.

  • boarding school

    I’ve been tucked away in Maine this past week with my parents and brother. I was only planning on a long weekend but with work about to get crazy, it seemed like a good time to get away. Yesterday we decided to try the local ski bump. My brother recently took up snow boarding, which […]

    We didn’t get the 24″, but it was enough to play with the plow and get in some nice xc-skiing this afternoon. Glorious day!

    Amy and I have been getting out pretty regularly this winter. It hasn’t been the whitest winter on record but it’s a damn sight better than last year and we’re making the most of it. We found that snowshoes were a bit overkill last weekend, while boots alone were too slippery, so we hooked ourselves […]

    I got a hot tip last week on the down low about a nearby hill with great views at the end of an easy 30 minute walk. And now some sidescrolling CSS magic. Someone came to me a few weeks ago with a supremely long horizontal timeline and they wanted it to be scrollable right […]

    I completed what was probably my last apres-work ride of the season this past week. By the time I was back in the parking lot the stars were out and the moon was high. So I decided to transition to running (blech). There is a beautiful network of trails between campus and the river called […]
