I neglect my site. I know this. It is true. 2008 has gone and 2009 is almost a third over. I am still coming to grips with the fact that next month I will be 31. Perhaps I should make a 31st year resolution to update my site more frequently and to give it the love it deserves.

In reality, I haven’t been doing much but working for the last few months. Generally speaking, life has been relatively stable. I work; I go to the gym; I try to keep my desk and life organized. (There was the one exception when our apartment building caught on fire).

Inauguration was certainly the highlight of the year thus far. Julie and I went with our friends Steve, Mirellise, and Tom, along with a million other people and stood out on the frozen National Mall to watch jumbo screens of Obama being sworn in. It was a memorable day to be sure. I did manage to snag a few photos that I was happy with. My favorite two are below, but you can see a slideshow of the whole set on Flickr.

Spring is arriving in spurts here in DC. Today was beautiful, tomorrow will be chilly. Julie and I are looking forward to some Spring backpacking and sleeping in our new ultra-light three-person tent (well, two-people and a short hound dog). We shall see what future adventures await. Stay tuned.
