Adventures of a well-rounded geek
Gene and I went to Roxborough State Park this morning. Now that we have a state park pass I figured it was high time we went hiking there. We did a three mile hike because I wasn't interested in doing anything longer and Gene was a sport and went along with me. The park is…
Today has been a lovely day - I started with breakfast outside, breathing in the smell of fresh mulch (Gene and I put it down yesterday) and enjoying the site of green trees and sun.

Check out these cute vases I made the other day. I wanted to separate my air plants a bit more and realized we still had some of that InstaMorph (moldable plastic) Kevin got Gene YEARS ago. I think my vases turned out great (although not exactly smooth) and I might just make some more. I'm…

Look who's being a naughty boy and trying to eat the Christmas tree... He was trying to climb it a day ago and now he's just causing general havoc around it. I get it, it's a giant thing that just popped up into the middle of our room out of nowhere. I'd be interested in…
I cannot get enough of my camera. The portrait mode is really something. Isn't Gene handsome? Or, at least, really clear and crisp? ;P This picture was taken to try to replicate this picture: Elisabeth took this picture in November 2007 - that's 10 years ago! Gene still has that sweatshirt, in fact, he's wearing…
