It’s Been Awhile …

23Mar11

Wow, November 11, 2010. Just call me a slacker!

A lot has been going on since last year. Another wonderful Christmas came and went. Emma surprised me with a new fishing kayak which I was pining for – a Jackson Coosa. She boxed it up nicely to fit under the tree

Cool kayak Christmas ornament.

Emma got a new Nespresso CitiZ to feed her (my?) caffeine addiction. This little machine has broken our shackles from Starbucks and Caribou. I’m amazed how good home espresso machines have gotten. If you can get your hands on one, do it.

Another typical day with the Nespresso machine.

We took some trips to get out of the weather …

… and the animals enjoyed staying inside and warm.

Ethan honed his ninja skills, and is in love with Tae Kwon Do. We couldn’t be prouder with his progress and his focus to “get a black belt”. He’s moving through the belts pretty quick.

Yellow Belt!

Green belt!

Personally, I fell back into one of my passions – craft beer. So much, in fact, that I started a “side project” start-up with a friend called Hopshunter. It’s a new social way to enjoy, experience and discover craft beer in your neighborhood. Think of beer + social + location and you get the idea

Right now only the website is accessible. Visit, sign up and take it for a spin! We’re working hard on an upcoming iPhone app, which should be released very soon. Thankfully, we’ve got plenty of good beer to enjoy to help us along the way.

Ahh, good times.

Oh, and my new wife Emma? Well, in a word – amazing. Our one year anniversary is right around the corner. Which reminds me, I need to get on some planning!
