The One Gathering

Kath and I took the ferry out to one of the islands for a Reiki workshop put on by her office mate. It was cold but sunny...



Went to this place called Aldermarsh. Really cool retreat center with different little buildings.


Sweat lodge


Heated bathroom outside.


Jen giving a talk about life and spirituality and cool stuff.


Then we hit a quaint little pub near home and had a beer & food. It was a good day.

Animator vs Animation

Thanks to C Tyrell for sending this...
This is a short about someone working in a program called Flash. I can totally relate since I've been stuck in Flash land for the past couple of months.

Awareness Test

If you pass this test, it could save my life.

New Couch

Here's the old couch... not bad, but too short.



We inherited this couch yesterday.



It's a big change going from blue to red. I think it could use some different throw pillows... either gold or black. Also, we'll need different color curtains now. But it does have about six more inches of usable length, so I can finally fit on the couch laying down. I'm already fantasizing about the naps I will take.

I Am Envious

I want to work for a cool design house that does kick ass work like this.

The Gorge Cabin

Once every couple years, I try to go do something fun to bond w/ my nephew Andrew. This time we went to the cabin w/ my buddy Jason, his girlfriend Misty, and their gang of 3 kids + a dog. Btw, I've know Jason since 4th grade. Due to a pass closure and some other road closures, a 2.5 hr drive took 7.5 hrs! But once we got there, we had a good time. Andrew immediately hit it off w/ Julian, who is the same age.

The kids had the loft to themselves.

Sunrise on the Gorge w/ JLuc and Tristan.


Catching air off the swing.

Whipping up some yakisoba action.



We hiked a pretty good rock face.

Throwing rocks on the houses below.

Playing catch (or "drop" as the case may be).

This was awesome fun!

Leah is a total sweetheart.

Andrew slept pretty much the whole way home.


I think we bonded a little more. I can't really think of anything that I taught him, tho. I feel like I need to impart some wisdom of some kind, I guess. Maybe I'll just teach him "please" and "thank you"... Adam (his other Uncle) can take it from there.

Spring Snow

My day yesterday:

Cats inside


Snowing outside

Me inside, drawing, working on website, went running, too.
