Thanksgiving Day

I'm in Hamilton, New York right to visit my father's side of the family for Thanksgiving.


Kara came back from the Virgin Islands to visit:


All the females on this side of the family:


A close-up on some of the beauteous ladies:


Thanksgiving is fun!



Kelsey getting manhandled:


My 9 year old cousin is an amazing artist. It's worth zooming in on this photo to see the portrait she's drawing:


Dinner, minus turkey:

And the best part of the previous photo, in case you didn't catch it:

Kelsey, waiting for the turkey to fall on the ground:

This is what happens when you have a "Who Can Gain the Most Weight In One Day?" competition:

My Last Michigan Post

I have finally gotten around to putting up some pictures from October, my last month in Ann Arbor. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give October an 8.

Before we get to the more debaucherous pictures, here is some pretty ivy growing on a wall:

In reverse chronological order, we start off at the Zingerman's Halloween party. This is Allison, Jack, and I (with Jamal in the background). Jack was a pirate.


Jamal was not dressed up. Lame.


Some of us lined up for the costume contest:


Me and Paul and his girlfriend:


This is a bad picture, but good costumes. Stewie!


I love this picture. Monica was not happy about waiting to get into the Blind Pig.


Inside, uber-hipster party, but at least everyone was dressed up:


Okay, so I was NOT drooling, I just didn't realize that my straw was leaking all over my shirt:


Gumby and Gumby!


Some other night, at the Heidelberg with Zing people, drinking boots of beer:



My going-away dinner at Cherry Blossom, delicious Japanese food. Allison eating sushi:


Julia, Caitlin, me, Allison:


Caitlin was so hungry that she was drinking soy sauce:


Sean was so disgusting he was eating raw meat, raw meat that he was supposed to be cooking at the table:


Caitlin and I at Circus:


Hot:

A visit to the Apple Orchard

Sean and I went to the apple orchard back in September (I think).

Inside, sorting apples:

Seany dodging the terrifying bees to try and rescue the cider and donuts:


Best. Donuts. EVER.


Apple trees!

Stopping by the Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary to check out the Open House (I forced Sean) and the arrival of hundreds of rabbits from another state:


More (and more exciting) pics soon...

I moved

Hello.

For those of you not aware, I've moved to Virginia.
Alexandria for a week or so more, then to Arlington. That's the D.C. metro area to the not geographically inclined or not American reading this.

I have some pictures from my last few months in Michigan, but I'm stealing a wireless internet connection and it is spotty and slow and so I gave up trying to upload them.

I promise to start updating more regularly, now that I have a life.
