Goodbye XXIX, I am thirty years old (why, what were you thinking?) I had a wonderful Birthday weekend, and I put up a gallery cataloging my special day. We started out with Kathy giving me a nice card and present. You already know where we went to breakfast. Barkley gave me a special Birthday gift, running away to celebrate my birthday. After I dragged him back home we took Carter for his first kayak ride! Special thanks to Eric for snapping some pictures. After that we went to the zoo as a family. To finish it off, we went to the Boat House in Forest Park for dinner. It was a perfect day. However, Kathy decided to throw me a party, so Sunday we had a relaxed Pirate Party with my friends in St. Louis.

Trip to the St. Louis Zoo
Friday, April 17th, 2009
I had to go downtown to pick up my marathon packet, so I decided to take a detour and have the family enjoy the zoo with me. It was Carter’s first trip to the St. Louis Zoo and I think he enjoyed it. Some pictures are here.
Boléro
Friday, March 6th, 2009
Kathy and I went to see a sold out showing of Ravel’s Boléro… my favorite piece of music. This also meant the first time Carter had a babysitter. Carter did well and we enjoyed a beautiful night out.
Family Day Out
Sunday, January 18th, 2009
Family day out! First, we took Carter for a nice visit of the St. Louis Art Museum. Pictures of that are here. It is really nice to live in a city with such world-class attractions! Then, we went for our first meal out as a family at P.F. Changs, and those pictures are here
Scaling Infinity
Saturday, October 18th, 2008
Kathy & I saw the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra perform “Scaling Infinity”. It was beautiful. Thanks to my parents for the gift certificates, there really isn’t anything quite like hearing a world class orchestra live.
Forest Park date night
Sunday, September 28th, 2008
I started a new job at Mobile Armor. To celebrate the change, Kathy & I spent a nice night out in Forest Park. We walked around the Zoo and then took out a paddle boat from the Boathouse. These are two of our favorite places in St. Louis and they each are uniquely St. Louis. We capped off the evening with a great dinner at the Boathouse. One nice touch was that, while on the paddle boats, we stumbled across a live concert that was part of the Taste of St. Louis. The obligatory picture gallery is here.
Labor Day weekend
Monday, September 15th, 2008
My parents came up for a very nice visit on Labor Day weekend. They helped us with some projects around the house, took us to the dog park, took out a kayak, watched me sail, and supported me in my triathlon efforts. My dad’s pictures are up here
City Museum
Sunday, June 15th, 2008
Today, Kathy took me to the City Museum. Wow! That was a lot of fun. Strongly encourage you to bring your child there. As ours was not yet ready, we had to bring our inner-child. It was a blast! Hard to describe. The best description I have heard referring to it was a “surrealist landscape”, I would add “that begs to be explored.” Please enjoy the picture gallery here.
