DC Blogger Meetup

After a hiatus of several months, I finally made it to a DC blog meetup last night. It was at Pharaoh’s, which is pretty convenient to my house, and it was warm enough to ride my bike. Turnout was slow to start, but we ended up with probably 12 or so folks. Much discussion was had. Also, much drooling over Rob’s new, free cellphone.

Dolly Sods

This weekend we went to West Virginia for skiing and hiking. Most of the folks went skiing on Friday, but Anne and I explored Monongahela National Forest and Dolly Sods. Here’s a panorama, my first on YouTube.
