I think we’ll go to Boston

Scratch that last post, cause we have a better plan.
It turns out that Boston is closer to us that New York City is — driving distance, anyway. We’ve never been, though, because every time someone comes to visit they want to go NYC. No one will go to Boston with us, and we haven’t found [...]

Going to Foxborough, Mass!

I know even less about Foxborough than i did Greenbay, before I made that trip, but I’m going there!
My company has 4 offices in the States: Virginia, Albany, Greenbay and Foxborough. I’ve been to all of them but Foxborough.
When I searched for it on Google, I got a bunch of football images, so I’m assuming [...]

Every day I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie:
The whole wide world is mine

Well its done. The last difficult conversation has been had, so I can share our news with you all. This likely won’t come as a surprise — to those who don’t already know. But its big for us, and its been important to approach it as the massive challenge that it is…
We’re moving back to [...]

Morgan Stanley issues full US recession alert

Think of Nicole and I like the canaries that miners used to bring into mines. When the canaries started to have problems, the miners knew something was wrong.
We feel the hurt of the US economy’s problems first through our exchange on the dollar, but that doesn’t mean everyone else won’t be feeling it soon after.
According [...]

I love the smell of ignorance in the morning

I woke up this morning to find a rather interesting comment on yesterday’s post about Christmas. My first instinct was to delete it, with all the other spam I get. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to approve it. Finally it struck me that the author had put so much [...]

Fenway Park

A stumbling economy. Thousands dead in a war with no end started for questionable motives. And a government eroding its own constitution…
But then a moment like this happens at a baseball game, and reminds you that this is still an incredible country, and that most of its citizens are actually pretty wonderful people:

On Healthcare in America

To our American friends: please, please watch SiCKO. I know its by Michael Moore, and if you can’t put up with the anti-Republican rhetoric, you can skip the section from 33:00 minutes in until 42:00 minutes in, and still get the point of the movie.
Someone recently suggested that the fact that Canadian health care was [...]

Worst. Vacation. Ever… but still totally worth it.

Let me tell you a story about a vacation… not just any vacation, but possibly the most ill-fated vacation ever…
As most of you know, we’ve never been on a vacation before. We did go on a honeymoon, which my parents paid for as a wedding present, and it was very nice, but we’ve never said [...]

Where We Are

Rather than try to fill in all the details of the past week or so right now — which I may do via posts and pictures later — I think I’ll just report on where we’re at right now. Its just easier.
Nicole is on her way to Canada, having dodged the cops twice now with [...]
