The Pats...

...drove me to drink:

Blue Steel

...is what I like to call this look:

This is what happens when people take your picture without telling you as you stare into the sun. It is from our lab retreat on Squam Lake, and was taken by Franck Mennechet, a member of my lab.

Old School Ann

This picture was taken when Ann was about 8.5 months pregnant at 5 Olde Nugget Alley in Hanover. It's funny to think that we used to just be able to go out any time we wanted - I really don't even remember what life was like then. On the other hand, it seems impossible to me that Sadie is turning 2 on Saturday. Memory is weird that way, I guess.
That's one reason I'm glad I have this blog. I can click on the archives and find out that I saw "Punch Drunk Love" with Doug and Kristin on Oct. 19, 2002. That's something I never would have remembered otherwise. Anyway, it's been fun posting every day in November, but it was a bit of a grind. I'll try to keep the posting schedule semi-regular, though - I had really been slacking for a while there.

Intensity

Men on a mission. Ann thinks we look kind of dumb. But I call it intensity.

Pic of the day...

Here's one from way back in the archives. Ann and I at a Halloween party in 1999 in Somerville, MA.
