Here are some of my favorite things about fall. Hope your fall is as enjoyable as mine.

After neglecting my family for the better part of 2 months, we took a much needed, but quick, vacation to Vail, CO. If you've never been there before, you're missing out. As usual, many more pictures are available at my Flickr.

For those of you who did not have the pleasure of knowing J during his short life, you missed out. He was one of a kind, and I'm proud to have called him my friend. J, thanks for the good times. I'm sorry we didn't see much of each other over the last few years while I was in Ohio, and I'm sorry I couldn't make it to lunch last month. Thanks for your friendship and example. God speed buddy;

We noticed that this boy's:train set was gradually disappearing. We noticed this started about the same time as our subwoofer began to rattle. Tonight, I took the subwoofer part. Come to found out, this boy:had been stashing away these parts in the sub's front port, and they were stuck to the magnet (except the wood block):

I watched the whole thing but they didn't teach me how to forward emails about school kids' projects and boycots on gasoline.

The time between our announcement of our departure and the date of our departure was short and we therefore missed doing some things we would like to have done and said goodbyes to those whose friendship we have appreciated over the last 5.5 years. The day after Thanksgiving, Ali and the boys flew back to Salt Lake, and after dropping them off at the airport I headed downtown to take a few final

I have some great friends who work there and look forward to joining them. Over the last 5 & 1/2 years, we have come to love Columbus, and I

With Ali and the boys out of town, I used Saturday morning to take a fall drive through the scenic hills of southeastern Ohio. I awoke at 5:00 am--not atypical for such a drive. The nightstand, however, wanted me to stay home.I cleaned up and looked for a bandaid, but could only find Noah's "Finding Nemo" bandaids, which I figured the country folk would like--a city slicker driving through the

For the most part, I was pleased with Ohio's election results last night. More than anything, I am glad that I don't have to watch any more ads from the following: Obama, the DNC, McCain, the RNC, Steve Stivers, Mary Jo Kilroy, Issue 5, Issue 6, Eric Brown, John Connor (did this guy really win?) and et cetera.As for President-Elect Obama, whether you voted for him or not, I think we can all

With the nice weather we were anxious to see the sights of fall, so we decided to head to Granville, an iconic small Ohio town nestled in the hills of eastern Ohio. We rode the rails-to-trails trail from Alexandria to Granville, had lunch at Del Mar (owned by the owners of Club 185 and the fantastic Rossi), and rode back. Nice ride in a beautiful area.This is a tree at Denison University (can

We have finally put our home up for sale, 5 years and 1 day after we moved in. It is definitely a bittersweet moment. Have a look at ClintonvilleCapeCod.com. Thanks to Brett for the killer web design.
