today we went to the first wedding of the year: cara and j.l. tied the knot this evening in the little chapel of our big church and later we all went to a mansion at marymoor and had a party.
tonight we made a dinner out of gnocchi and leeks and prosciutto and asiago. we paired it with a wine that i cannot spell, which is good because wines that are easy to spell usually taste bad. then we almost bought tickets to new york. it was a nice evening.
today i walked across the microsoft campus to have lunch with my brother-in-law, david. it was cold and i saw almost every one of my breaths as it left. it was sunny, too- almost foreign to seattle's january. it felt good to be outside.
i watched the inaugural address alone in my office, stimulating the economy with my work hours while witnessing patriotic history. i have never seen this level of excitement over a president. mr. obama, you have your work cut out for you. godspeed.
i went to the dentist this morning. normally this makes me want to drink only water and brush after every meal. today, i wanted to drink coffee and eat japanese candy. maybe my dentist is too nice.
this is my brother-in-law, erik, and we went go-karting for his birthday. he is wicked fast on one of those 6hp machines, and we got to keep the helmet liners. happy birthday erik!
this is what my hair looks like when it is too long! i am about to get it cut, and then kelly and i are going to a birthday party for a two year old boy named logan. (we bought him the children's book version of eats shoots and leaves for his gift- did you know there -was- such a thing?)
there has been a blanket of immobile air over redmond for days; every morning and night the fog slips in and makes things mysterious. this is the balcony on my floor of the office building in which i work; i wanted to go outside but the door was inexplicably locked.
kelly made a new recipe for us tonight. it had golden beets with their greens, pasta, onions, and a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts on top. it would have been delicious on any day, but we'd just returned from the gym and that, for me, makes everything taste wonderful.
this is my radio in my car, and i am listening to a story on 88.5, kplu, and soon my lovely wife will be here for what i am slightly ashamed to admit will be the first gym visit of the year.
hi, i'm jonathan! i am a software engineer and amateur photographer living in redmond, washington (you may, correctly, guess the large corporation that pays my mortgage).
i post one photo here every day, which documents my life, or my friends' lives, or what i ate for lunch. these photos are taken with an aging cellular telephone and completely untouched.
think of it as a stream-of-consciousness sort of thing.
