June

Oh god I never thought I would let it go this long.  For some reason I haven't felt like posting.  Most probably because after I get home from work the last thing I want to do is use my brain to pull some patterns out of the chaos.  But here's basically what"s been going on out here in June:

Shannon has been traveling a whole bunch.  First she went to Madrid and then to Amman.  I got to go on my first business trip ever to Barcelona which was rad.  I participated in a sailing regata.

My fancy international law firm rented approximately twelve boats and put teams of us lawyers out there with a spanish skipper.  As you can see I had one of the better looking crews.  The girl in front is from the Amsterdam office and in the back is from London.  The crazy thing was we thought we were going on some sort of pleasure cruise but really ended up racing.  It was a riot. I worked me ass off cranking the crank.  We got third place.  I even got a medal.  That night in Barcelona we had a fancy dinner at the zoo and the President of the International Court of Justice spoke to us.  She really didn"t have much to say.  

Last weekend we went rafting which was cold.  This weekend we are throwing a baby shower for our friend Emily.  I followed the directions on the back of a can of Rosarita refried beans this morning and ended up with a highly satisfying chili relleno breakfast casserole.  More soon.  I promise. Here"s a picture of my feet in the Meditteranean as a parting gift.
