nablopomo day 30: more scenes from bath (and pretty much what every day looked like)
c h o o k o o l o o n k s
Another view of the Roman Baths. The Romans, it turns out, were rather fastidious about personal hygiene (or, at the very least, frolicking about naked with each other). The water comes from thermal springs, and feels like, well, a warm ...

c h o o k o o l o o n k s
This weekend was considerably laid-back: Marcus and Alex and I went to our usual local restaurant on Friday night, and on Saturday we went to a backyard barbeque to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday (the weather has finally cooled down enough that ...

how she rolls
c h o o k o o l o o n k s
Up until last Friday, Alex didn't know how to ride a bike -- a fact which is sad, not just because she's already 7-1/2 years old, but because her father is an avid cyclist, entering mountainbike races and trailbike races and triathlons with ...

second grade eve

Today is the last day of Alex's summer. Kids in most of the rest of the state have already returned to school; however, for reasons that I won't go into here (except to say that Alex has always excelled in school, so it doesn't have anything to do ...

beautiful beaches, ocean life, and why it's good to live in the information age
c h o o k o o l o o n k s
Several weeks ago, my friend Maile (she of the amazing Epiphanie camera bags for women), invited me, our friend Laura and our families to spend a weekend with her family at a beach house in Port Aransas, Texas. Now I'm going to admit something to ...

scenes from our hotel room
c h o o k o o l o o n k s
Despite the many adventures to some really fantastic places that I've been able to have this summer, I was really tired of being away from Marcus and Alex all the time. So when booking my travel for the BlogHer conference, I flat-out told Marcus, ...

scenes from july 4th
c h o o k o o l o o n k s
Today was an incredibly quiet day: it was just the three of us. In fact, I worked most of the day. Then Marcus and Alex broke out the Slip 'n Slide. So I, of course, had to break out the camera. Then after ...

coco reef, tobago
c h o o k o o l o o n k s
Last Friday, quite unexpectedly, Alex and I found ourselves on a plane to Trinidad's sister island, Tobago. The story of how this came to be is one I'm saving for tomorrow's post; but suffice to say that when one is presented with an opportunity to ...

c h o o k o o l o o n k s
Last Tuesday evening, I spoke to my Auntie Sonia on the phone. "I'm coming to pick you and Alex up early tomorrow," she said. "You need to take some pictures of real Trinidad." I was very excited about this: Auntie Sonia used to be married to ...

grandma the great and her garden
c h o o k o o l o o n k s
Our second full day in Trinidad (after having gotten our beach fix), we headed southeast to Champs Fleurs to visit my grandmother, or as Alex calls her, "Grandma the Great." This is my dad's mom, she's 93 years old, and I want you to listen closely ...
