  • How times have changed

    I was going through some old digital photos recently (by old, I mean up to 6 years at max; let’s face it, that’s old for a digital photo) and stumbled across the photo there on the right of a gas station we stumbled across while in San Diego in March of 2003. It was the…

  • Saffron has arrived

    As promised, Jaden ordered me a year’s supply of Saffron.  USPS dropped it in my mailbox today. I’m surprised by just how much Saffron a year’s supply is. I really think this’ll last us more than a year. Thanks, Jaden!

  • Redfin Updates

    Looks like Redfin just did some maintenance and updates to their live service. I’ve been using Redfin during our house hunting as our preferred directory of available houses.  I’m not planning on making my offer through Redfin – this is our first house in Washington state, and the market seems totally different than it is…

  • Tonight’s Heroes episode

    Anyone else notice that Peter Petrelli looked disturbingly like Top Gun-era Tom Cruise in tonight’s episode?
