I hope everyone had a restful summer vacation. I had the best summer of my life, (especially since I completed my Masters degree in March) and I finally enjoyed a real vacation this summer – no work or school! My wife, Erin, and I celebrated our third anniversary in Napa, went to our family cabin, and spent time on a houseboat. All three were places of extreme relaxation and serenity which I was very grateful for. I had never been on a house boat and it was the most amazing thing ever. Our little puppy Holly even enjoyed it and learned to swim for the first time.
This summer I also began reading the greatest sci-fi masterpiece ever (Dune) and discovered my favorite hobby to date: woodcarving. I’m working on three projects – a picture frame for my wife’s wedding photo, a Real Zaragoza plaque, and a jewelry box. I really want to take classes so I can actually learn what I’m doing. (What you see below is my best attempt with the little I know about woodcarving.)
Looking ahead, I’m excited to be starting my fifth season with the Company and I look forward to heading to Denmark! Oh, and one more important thing that’s happened since I last blogged with you… SPAIN won the World Cup! Viva Espana!
