Cherry Blossoms!! This past Wednesday I took the day off to visit Census (more on this later); afterward I stopped by the tidal basin to see the cherry blossoms. It was awesome. It’s not my first time visiting, but it’s surreal every time. It was the perfect day for a picnic, if only Webster Spencer had been able to join.
Day 2 dollar days date destinations were the American visionary museum and the observation deck at the World Trade Center. They have a lot of interesting art at the museum, and this tree is among my favorites. I told Spencer we’re going to have one of these in our front yard some day. I love how this thing catches light!
Last weekend was dollar days in Baltimore, where admission to most museums in the Inner Harbor area is only a buck. We wanted to go the the aquarium, the Maryland science center, the American visionary art museum, and the observation deck in the World Trade. We made it to everything except the aquarium because the line there went around the
There’s a bunch of holiday activities planned in the Inner Harbor, and since we’re close enough to walk, we’re going to try to see most of them. First up, the holiday lantern parade this past Saturday. It wasn’t much of a parade, maybe 10 minutes total, but it had it’s ups. It’s the first year they’ve done it so there’s
I’ve been meaning to tackle this DIY Pantone Paint Chip Magnet project from How About Orange for some time, but alas I had no pantone chips to speak of, and was waiting until something equivalently awesome came up. Well, on an outing to Lowes I came across this: Perfect! This is actually cut up already, the original had about 25 rows, with
We’re going through the HURRICANE OF DOOM Irene, or at least the weather people would like us to believe.. I swear the weatherman sounded disappointed when he said it’s a Category 1 instead of 2 or 3 like they originally expected, and that damage has been much less than expected… darn. but anyway, so it’s been raining all day. Since
Key West was awesome. That could be the end of this post because it summarizes the trip quite well. We stayed at the Marquesa, which is the loveliest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I should have taken more pictures of the pool area and our room, but their website does a pretty good job. The service was excellent, our room
The 2011 Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) Conference was in Miami this year. I somehow got talked into writing and presenting a paper, but I’m so glad I did. It was a great new experience (presenting), and I guess being in Miami wasn’t all that bad either . Getting there was a little annoying, our flight kept getting pushed back; Spencer was
I’ve been slacking on the postings, even though we’ve been less hermit-y than usual. So I’ve decided to start a new series on our summer adventures. Or summer “adventures”. It should really just be summer leaving the house, though that’s too long for a title. So let the SAPs begin! A few weeks ago we went to Roosevelt Island. It
According to Spencer, this is a goose. If so, I’m pretty sure this is the first non-Canada goose I’ve ever seen. It’s all white and… goose-like. But after googling, it could also be a duck. It’s bill is very… duck-like. Either way. More to come!

I was browsing through my posts folder, and I came across a previous version on this post that never got published. It started out with “Rejection sucks” and proceeded to be a garrulous rant of the woe is me, self deprecating, my life is over variety. Rejection does suck, but dwelling on it helps no one.. and actually it makes
