soooo it's been a while...

Tons and tons of fun has been had this past month. The only reason I didn't share it is that I didn't have my camera cord to download picts (and all posts are much better with picts!).

The short version: tons of hikes, leaves are changing (and crazy yellow!), it's starting to get a bit cooler (temp-wise, though of course awesomeness is always increasing as well), oktoberfest fun, lots and lots of fun with Lucy (click here for a bunch of picts!) and friends!

Every once in a while I like to think about where I was or what I was doing a year ago, two years ago, and so on. Today I realized it has been a LONG freaking time since I was at home on this day... 2009: Indonesia (watching my first water buffalo sacrifice!), 2008: Tokyo (working crazy intense 18+hr days after Lehman filed for bankruptcy), 2007: Paris (I ran my now infamous 20-mile training run through the Bois de Boulogne which resulted in ITB injury and muscle imbalances I'm still fighting to neutralize), 2006: New York City (I got my UK Visa and was getting ready to move to London), 2005: Munich (Oktoberfest!). 2010: Vail (home, playing with Lucy)
