D.C. When It Rains
We made it to the Zoo.
…then it rained.
So we proceeded to rock the Cathedral
National Zoo
Last weekend it was very chill in our house. While the collegiate and professional football machines continue to ride the wave of excitement following their season kickoff…
…Little One and Dad completely hogged the tube.
I think she’s getting the hang of surfing. I don’t recall following too many games closely though. We were all over the channel map thanks to her...

Dive into the Liner Notes…
From the band’s myspace…
“One of the most beautiful and moving works I’ve heard in a long, long time. Just astonishing.”
-NPR’s All Songs Considered
“Hospice is a skyscraping blend of the ambient and the anthemic, a record that swings for the bleachers at a time when it’s fashionable to bunt.”...
Fine People
I’ve decided to start something new here. Everyday we come across multitudes of individuals. Both conniving and then honest ones. Folks from the entire the spectrum.
The good - never seem to be valued enough.
More often than not - the ugly come through first.
So as I go about my weeks, I am going to share moments where Fine People just make their mark on me.
By sharing here, I hope this...

The duo killed it in last nights MTV VMA’s
Hall Of Famers
Before I discovered music…my world revolved around sports. I collected their cards…followed their game.
Each figure inducted last night is legendary in their own right. Each heart carries a little different perspective of humanity. Each gave something different to the game they loved. Completely glad to have caught last nights basketball induction ceremony.

Again...Where The Wild Things Are
Still very excited about viewing this one:
Plus spotted this little craft:
Quickly bookmarked and dubbed this a “future weekend project for my daughter”
Then laughed at this (shared by a talented colleague):

Below was the beginning for me a few years back…my ears have had a solid relationship with their sound ever since.
This Old House
During the Labor Day weekend…We tackled a home renovation project, caught up with loved ones who journeyed East for us, and spent some overdue time away from the office chaos.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT YOUR DUST MASK ON!
The house we fell for was built in the late 1940’s. For the most part, it’s in a quite delightful condition. Like most older homes, it’s filled with...
Them Crooked Vultures
Hows this for a ‘Super Group’? Don’t know about you…I am liking what I hear.
Comprising drummer Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana), vocalist and guitarist Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Eagles of Death Metal) and bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin)
BTW - Grandma and Grandpa, we can’t be more thrilled to have you...

…plus the guy has a new record coming out.
Break Up With Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson will be released on September 15, 2009
By the clock.
Early noob Dad discovery:
Babies “take the Browns to the Superbowl” on a routine schedule! To the second!
Our family carpools…
Mom is the first one dropped of at her office. A quick kiss good bye and the car moves on.
Baby then heads to day care, followed by Dad making his way into his desk.
Every day, at the exact moment when we are hopping off the interstate,...
