    Posted on December 16, 2009 by Dan in lists.

    These are the books I’ve read this year that I have enjoyed the most with a little bit about them (a teaser, if you will), because I just know that due to my recommendation you’re going to run out and read all 10. Get excited. Prep, Curtis Sittenfeld Girl goes to prep school, lots of […]

  • Her Birthday from Her POV

    Posted on December 8, 2009 by Dan in food, lists, San Francisco.

    Well, Dan gave you the basic rundown of what he did for my birthday – it was amazing! Not only did we spend the whole day eating (but not overeating – which was impressive) but he planned out a really detail heavy experience. Considering that I’m most often the planner/details oriented/organized one of the two […]

  • Her Birthday from His POV

    Posted on December 5, 2009 by Dan in food, San Francisco.

    What do you get a foodie for her birthday? If you said dinner, you’d be wrong. At some point a few years ago, birthday dinner turned into a week of dinners to celebrate. She is constantly reading food blogs, aware of the newest restaurants, and even knows the names of top chefs in not just […]

    Posted on December 5, 2009 by Dan in random, travel.

    I think KK has been boycotting writing until I take the time to contribute more. For all you loyal followers, we’ve clearly been way behind in our posts… sorry about that. We have a lot to catch up on! Now that it is December, let’s talk about Halloween! It is always a fun time for […]

  • City Walk: Potrero Hill

    Posted on November 22, 2009 by Dan in city walks, San Francisco.

    Another day, another city walk post. This area of San Francisco is called Potrero Hill, which is south of the downtown area of SF, and is a bit more industrial than other walks we’ve been on. It is also a really tight knit residential community, and supposedly where the “up and coming” folks in SF […]

  • Highlights of home

    Posted on November 8, 2009 by Dan in family, friends, growing up, travel.

    So after the Gorge trip, and working a couple of weeks, I headed back to the East Coast for a week. Dan didn’t come with, because when we were making plans, we were unsure about his work stuffs. It ended up being a good thing – he got called for some interviews while I was […]

  • Pacific Northwest: Miscellaneous

    Posted on November 7, 2009 by Dan in concerts, food, travel.

    While we drove all the way up to Washington primarily for concerts, we did manage to do some other stuff too. In between the second and third shows, we took a side trip to Idaho. Because…when the heck else would we ever be in Idaho? Granted, we didn’t get very far inside the border, but […]

  • Pacific Northwest Roadtrip: The main attraction

    Posted on October 21, 2009 by Dan in concerts, travel.

    So, the big trees happened. About 13 hours of travelling happened. Onto day 2. We spent the first night in Albany, Oregon I believe, which is a bit south of Portland. We hung a right at Portland and found ourselves in the Columbia River Gorge. Which is full of those “wow, this is really gorgeous” […]

  • Pacific Northwest Roadtrip: Very large trees

    Posted on October 9, 2009 by Dan in travel.

    Disclaimer: I was going to write this post tomorrow night, as I have a pretty rockin headache this evening. But tomorrow, we have to take the cats to the vet, and as it’s a production even getting them in their carriers, I think tomorrow I’m just going to want to sit down with a couple […]
