Rowan on the Balance Board
I wanted to play with a GIF animator, so I used a few photos I took yesterday of Rowan playing on the balance board. That kid is going to be so much better than me at just about everything.
Whale Watching Tour
Here are some pictures from our recent whale watching tour out of Gloucester, MA.
Pawleys Island with the Davis Clan
Here are pictures from our visit to Pawleys Island. The whole Davis Clan was there for this trip.
Congratulations to the Kid
A big congratulations to Rowan, aka the kid, for graduating from pre-school. He’s been at Run-a-Muck for three and a half years. Seems strange that he’s done - though officially his last day is tomorrow. I’m very proud of the kid.
Kayaking the Ipswich River
Yesterday I did a 16 mile paddle on the Ipswich River with my buddy Shawn. It was the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning. We put in at Thunder Bridge, made our way east through the Ipswich Wildlife Sanctuary, and finally stopped in the town of Ipswich.
Our Visit to the Eiffel Tower
Melanie was working a flight to Paris this week, and as luck would have it there were seats available on the flight. So Rowan and I decided to join her. Rowan has wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower for as long as I can remember, so that’s what we did on this trip. We flew to Paris, went to the Eiffel Tower, then flew back home. Pictures from our short trip are available here.
NSSnow 2013
Last week Melanie and I had the pleasure to join 13 others in Courchevel, France, for NSSnow 2013. NSSnow is a gathering of mostly Mac and iOS developers who love to ski and snowboard, well, mostly snowboard but skiers were welcome - Melanie was the token skier at this year’s NSSnow.
Pictures from Recent Long Trail Hike
I finally got around to uploading pictures from my recent Long Trail hike. Thanks Shawn for taking the pictures.
Hiking the Long Trail Division 1
Last month Shawn and I hiked Division 1 of the Long Trail. The hike was mostly enjoyable - we had to cut the trip short which meant hiking in the dark with pouring rain and high winds. That part was not enjoyable. But the trail is clearly marked making the night hike easier than expect.
Here are pictures from the trip. If I have more time in the near future I will blog more about the trip.

Boston Marathon 2008
I did something a bit different today. My friend Dana invited me to tag along with him as he took pictures at the starting line of the Boston Marathon for Boston.com. Despite having to get up at 4:30 AM this morning, it was a lot of fun. I even got a few shots in myself like this one of Lance Armstrong just before the start of the race.
Update on New House #2
Work on the house is nearing completion. 4 rooms are now ready to go and I hope to have 2 more rooms completed by Saturday night. This leaves 1 room left to complete before we move in, which is now scheduled for Thursday, January 24. If I stay on track, I’ll have the final room completed on Monday. New carpet on the stairs will be installed on Tuesday. And we clean, clean, clean on Wednesday to get up all the dust and dirt from the floors.
New Pictures in the Gallery
I finally got around to posting pictures from the last 4 months. Check them out in the gallery.
