Let me just take this opportunity to say, having my parents come with was one of the best ideas we’ve ever had. (Don’t tell them I said so.) Babies are great and I wouldn’t trade being a father for anything, but sometimes they can just be annoyingly needy. Enter my parents–my dad annointed himself Henry’s […]
Happy Friday to everyone! I’m still a little jetlagged, but thought I’d take a minute to share a couple of pictures from our walk on the Great Wall. Keep checking back every few days–I’ve got so many pictures that I’ll probably post a few every couple of days for the next month or so.
Please ignore the arm next to his butt. Henry had a great time at the Great Wall–stayed awake and looked around our whole walk out, stayed slumped down in the Baby Bjorn for the entire walk back. For St Louis faithful, that is indeed a Cardinals hat on his head–my parents are going to submit […]
I’m used to getting stares when I travel. There was once the guy in India that came up to me while I was lying at the beach and sat down 2 feet in front of me (facing away from the ocean) for about an hour just to stare. Then there were the Indian schoolkids that […]

One of the “benefits” of working as a consultant is you get to fly a lot. Mostly, this isn’t all that great (you start thinking about planes as buses in the sky and know way more about airports than you’d really like), although it is a great way to amass a silly volume of frequent […]
Hello everyone! I haven’t written anything for awhile, because I didn’t really think I had anything too exciting to write about. Since we’re taking our 10 month old on a 2 week trip to China, however, I thought it was a good opportunity to make a few posts. So! Check back over the next few […]

Karen and I are off today: catching a flight to Singapore tonight, staying overnight, and then heading on to Tokyo tomorrow (the free trip home is via Singapore, the rest thanks to my consultants’ frequent flyer war chest.) Japan will be fun, because not only do we get to see my brother and his wife, […]
