After what might be the longest draught of an update from my end, here’s a photo dump of what I’ve been up to lately.

Off-site for work – dim sum followed by glass blowing.

And now we’re caught up. It’s been a fun last few weeks, but it’ll be a little bit less fun now, since my back has gone bad again. It actually went bad between the time I took those last two pictures, on the way down the mountain. Had to walk my bike back down. Good thing Hayden was there and could go get the car for me.

So next week in New York is going to be interesting, to say the least.
