I spent a very busy week in Portland coming up to speed on our latest project - which is a good thing since I’ve come to the project quite late. Everyone else has had five month head start.
As I said in an earlier post, Portland definitely has a different vibe. It does not feel like […]

It’s been a whirlwind week. The Ski Boy and I arrived home from the Bay Area very late last Tuesday night. I turned around and got back on a plane Sunday afternoon to wing my way south to Portland for business.
So, as I type I’m in Portland. It’s been twenty years since I’ve been here […]

The Ski Boy and I stayed in Cupertino for Songya’s graduation. Cupertino is about 15 minutes south of Palo Alto and Stanford as the crow flies on the very scenic Interstate 280 (I’m not kidding - 280 is just gorgeous).

After yesterday’s Wall Street Journal article, the emails have been pouring in. Tyge is handling it all quite well - although he realizes that he might be the first ever Bouvier (other than Jacqueline Bouvier (Kennedy)) featured in the WSJ.
Tyge’s rescue person in New York saw Tyge’s picture and started crying (tears of happiness at […]

I’m a bit late getting this posted, but two weeks ago, while we were in Seattle, I snagged my 500th geocache!!!! It’s a big time milestone - either that or yet another example of my extremely geekiness.
Based on a suggestion from my buddy Scott, Peter and I decided to do the 500th via kayak. So, […]

I made the New York Times. In the Arts Section. A year ago.
I just discovered the article yesterday. I was puttering around in Google Reader and ran across it. I’m stunned. I’m a published architecture critic, in the New York Times no less, and I had no idea!!!!!
