OH HAI! Sorry about that ahem online leave of absence. We’ve been busy? I guess? But now it’s March and a young blogging couple’s fancy turns to updating their blog, finally.

It’s been a long few blustery Arlington winter months—not a snow day, not even a snow delay to be had this year, though. We had the best time visiting the Wisconsin family in January, culminating in an amazing trip to the NFC Championship game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. We got to watch Brett Farve’s last game, even though we didn’t know at the time. It was a heartbreaker of a game, and the coldest I have ever been ever. FYI for our mid-Atlantic readers: -7 degrees for five hours is cold. Man, oh man.



Sarah’s been on two business trips this winter: one to sunny Miami and now a second to sunny Los Angeles (where she’s feeling under the weather!); I’ve been to NYC. For 19 hours. However, I got to go to the gleaming Apple Cube store on Fifth Avenue, so all’s right with the world.

I’ve also been enjoying my introduction to studio portraiture course at the Smithsonian. Dear Rolling Stone: if Annie Leibovitz is too pricey for your next celebrity headshot, gimme a call.

Sarah has taken off all the ornaments and lights off our dry little Christmas tree that now stands, forlorn, in a deep pile of fallen needles. The Sunday wash is 3/4 finished, and the coffee is almost gone.



This afternoon gives us a choice: go to the Corcoran to see the Ansel Adams and Annie Leibovitz photography shows, or go check out townhouses for sale in the neighborhood? There is an air of desperation on the local craigslist real estate pages. Who wouldn’t want to jump in to the market now?

You suck. Also? The clutch you put in 2003 Pontiac Vibes ¹ sucks, too.

Most sincerely,
D

¹ When it gets fixed, this will be the third clutch the car has had in 48K miles. Yep.

Drew turns 30 today and the poor birthday boy is on a plane to a week-long conference in San Francisco. He hasn’t been too badly affected by this milestone birthday, and I’m sure that all the Nintendo Wii games and controllers he received will help him channel his inner 20-year-old (he apparently minored in James Bond for N-64 at RMC).

…and welcome to our blog. Now let’s knock it out of the park!

With love,
Drew
