Back from a really beautiful day in the North Cascades with Karrin and pooch.

Heading out into the North Cascades with Karrin and the pooch

Yay! Video of all 3 of us! http://ping.fm/QZhg3

First photos of me with Karrin & Moxie

First photos taken with Karrin and Moxie. We've been together since January 6th. Moxie is a teapot Maltese. The photos were done at the photo booth at Bellis Fair Mall in Bellingham, WA.

Yay! Silly photos of me and Karrin at last, done at the instant photo booth at the mall -- http://ping.fm/cq1yM

Today: (1) we got a good president at last, (2) I turned 40, and (3) my wonderful sweetheart got me an iPod Classic. What a day!

Oh. My. God. Karryn got me an iPod Classic! Now I think we're going on a day trip somewhere. Mountains? Deception Pass? Not sure yet.

Watching the inauguration and feeling old.

I am getting highly weirded out, for tomorrow is my 40th birthday.

Karrin + me + pooch + couch + TV + her blackberry = happy Saturday evening

R.I.P. Andrew Wyeth, one of the greatest artists of our lifetime.

I love that Karrin is excitedly counting the days to my birthday! Awww! :-D

Is waking up Karrin and getting ready for work

Can hardly wait...

At work, missing my girl! Can't wait...

Sorry I have nearly dropped off the face of the earth. I've been a bit preoccupied. :-)

Could I possibly get any more nervous & excited?

Tired, lonely, with badly aching back. BUT -- I posted what may be the best photo I've ever done yet! http://ping.fm/ZwLK6

It's possible that this weekend might not suck after all. But I am so nervous...

Remind me to never, ever, ever be optimistic about anything or ever get my hopes up. Everything hear-related fails in epic ways. I suck.

Listening to the "Atom Heart Mother" album and thinking about somebody I haven't actually met yet. *chirp tweet*

Thank god that miserable, shitty year is over. 2009 is going to be a great year, I really believe it.
