May all your picnics and bbqs be meaty. Very meaty.

Back from Boston

I am back from Boston tonight, Suzi and I left Saturday and just got back tonight. It seemed like a really long time to be gone. Anyways, the HOW Conference was amazing and I saw a lot of very inspiring talks and am back tired but very creatively energized. Highlights for me were: Stefan Bucher and John Foster discuss inspiration and creativity, Debbie Millman interviewing Michael Beirut and a creativity workshop with Sam Harrison. Now its time to buckle down and put all these great lessons into action instead of just letting them slip away.

I also got to see the beautiful city of Boston for the first time. I have always wanted to go, but never did. We walked the 2.5 mile Freedom Trail there and back and walked another several miles to a great seafood restaurant on the pier called No Name Restaurant. We also got to see a game at the one and only Fenway Park, which just happened to be one of the best games possible as Jon Lester threw only the 8th no-hitter in Fenway's almost 100 year history. I put aside my Mets loyalties for the night to cheer on the Sox with all of the very enthusiastic Bostonians.

UPDATE: Pics finally up. WICKED!

Shipping up to Boston

Heading for Boston tomorrow for the HOW Design Conference. I'm really excited and will post more later.

Got to see my first Santana game, as a Met at least on Saturday. Wasn't his best game but he's just getting going anyways and we still won big. Good times, plus the tickets were free and I got to use my new camera to get some sweet close up action shots.

Poor Eleanor

She had to have a minor operation. She is fine and doesn't need to wear the collar anymore, but still. Poor thing.
