world land-speed record

November 17, 2013

we set a new land-speed record for the segment of earth between Williamsburg, Virginia and northwest Washington, D.C. today — with a traveling time of just two hours and seventeen minutes.

if i recall, last time the trip took just under 6 hours. and, the last time I had a sub 2:30 time was (quite literally) in 1997.

which is great, considering i leave first thing tomorrow for a 4:54 hour drive to Corning, New York.

yippee.

#20,000

November 11, 2013

Apologies for two consecutive navel-gazing posts, but there are a couple of auspicious milestones that demand attention. I’ve just ticked over 20,000 photos since I relaunched my photography habit back in 2004, and it looks like I’m up to my 2,500th blog post.

To make things more dramatic/traumatic, I just realized next spring will make it 10 full years of blogging. (I started blogging the same month that I started dating my beloved wife, so a decade of blogging will clearly be the second most important anniversary celebrated that month.)

It’s stunningly hard to explain the number of things that have changed over the last ten years… and it’s hard to believe that I’m even the same person.

Speaking of, my kids are yelling at me, so I have to go.

After three years, it was about time for a new look and feel for the family blog.

I launched the last look shortly before sparklet’s first birthday, which means it’s been up and running just over three years. now, one all-nighter later, we’ve got a design that looks like it’s been designed in this decade, which should be quite the upgrade.

Talk to y’all again in 2017.
