  • And I thought Rio was cool

    Ok, Rio is pretty cool. But, dude, Buzios is insane! It is seriously like something out of a movie. The whole little town is a fishing community in a peninsula located a few hours north (by bus) of Rio. I was able to talk Reagan into experiencing the Brazilian Rodoviaria and cross-country bus trip that…

  • Red skies in the morning, sailors take warning

    I was resolved to wake up before dawn this morning, so that I could shoot the sunrise from the point between Copacabana and Ipanema. Reagan was a really good sport, and came along with me. Not even being dramatic, it was one of the most fantastic sunrises that I have seen. I’m totally glad that…

  • Fluminence-1, Palmeiras-0

    Reagan took me to a futebol game today. It was in the Maracana, which is one of the largest stadiums in South America. It has held as many as 200k people before. Here we are field level about an hour before the game started. Also about 5 minutes before we took our shirts off. It…

  • Brazil or Bust

    On Friday, Reagan and I are headed to Brazil. I’m pretty stoked about it. I haven’t been back there since ’99. It’s so crazy. It will be almost exactly 10 years. Here is a photo from last time I was in Brazil, hahaha. Notice those blue skies. Reagan has been doing some Rosetta Stone lessons.…

  • The Cuzzins

    After a super rainy day yesterday, the sun came out bright and early, this morning. It made for a very breathtaking drive, on the way to and from visiting Piper, because the leaves are now in full colors. Piper’s cousins were very excited to see her. When we first arrived, it seemed like Piper wasn’t…

  • Puddle Jumping

    Reagan’s sister is in town this weekend, visiting some friends. Since we aren’t able to see our little Atlanta based nieces nearly as much as we would like to, Reagan’s sister offered to bring them along so that Reagan and I could hang out with them this weekend. They have been incredible sports about the…

  • Weekend Generally

    Reagan’s friend from high school, Lacy, and her husband, Alex, were in town this weekend for work. So we were able to hang out with them pretty much the whole time that we weren’t in CT. It was fun to see them. Last time I saw Lacy she was pregnant with their little guy, Noah.…

  • Fall’s a comin’

    ^–Dash Snow Tribute in SoHo It is such a nice surprise, when I think that I’m going to be working all weekend, then find out on Friday afternoon, that I’m off the hook. I took full advantage and slept in on Saturday until noon, to catch up on some sleep. Reagan was a good sport,…

  • Weekend, Etc..

    Besides having to work all day, Saturday, this weekend was a lot of fun for me (despite how serious I look in the photo, above). We were able to get to know some friends a little bit better on Friday night, by having dinner with them. Saturday night, we attended a party hosted by one…

  • Marathon Season

    Oh man. I opened my email yesterday and this is what I saw. I’m starting to get really excited for this race, and fall marathon season generally. I will be running this one with my friend Carl (who does not yet have a blog, but is diligently thinking about it). Reagan will be doing the…
