Recession Recip.es

Life has changed quite a bit around here due to me getting laid off from the Las Vegas Art Museum at the end of February. My job at the Museum brought us to Vegas, and we aren’t really sure what the future holds for us except for Carlo finishing his MBA at UNLV in May [...]

El Calafate aka the most windy location in the middle of nowhere anywhere on earth!

We are finally back in Vegas with a reliable Internet connection and more importantly the time to update our blog with photos from our incredible honeymoon to Argentina.
I’m sure the following posts over the next few days will be gushing odes to Argentina, but neither Carlo or myself can stress what an amazing and beautiful [...]

Howdy from Buenos Aires

We are having a great time here in Argentina. Buenos Aires is fantastic, it’s a great city with a lot of culture that’s very relaxed and lots of friendly people. Some highlights thus far have been lots of great food (of course), the Recoleta Cemetery, the MALBA art museum and exploring Las Cañitas, the neighborhood [...]

More snow…

I can’t sleep because I keep coughing, so I decided to come downstairs to glug some cough syrup and noticed it was snowing again. Snow really is beautiful to watch coming down, or at least it is when it is a once in a blue moon freak occurence. I can’t imagine it being fun having [...]

Winter Wonderland

When I first twittered on Monday that it was snowing in Las Vegas, most people didn’t believe me. But huge fluffy flakes fell over the West Side of town where we live blanketing everything in white. It looked incredibly beautiful although it was very strange considering we live in the desert and snow isn’t the [...]

Our Vegas Neighbors

So most people think that in Vegas anything goes and you can never know what to expect when you visit here, but I didn’t think that was so applicable when you lived in the ‘burbs of Vegas. Turns out I was wrong.
Last month I woke up to some one doing falconry outside of our bedroom [...]

Bethany Enjoys the Fruits of Red Rock Canyon

Bethany was in town a couple of weekends ago, and we took her out to Red Rock Canyon for a hike. The Alex-led excursion involved a hike that was a bit more difficult than we remembered it, but we still managed to enjoy ourselves, not least because of this:

In the middle there amongst the branches, [...]

Catching up on photos

I’ve spent the morning catching up on uploading photos to my Flickr account, clearing out a, uh, year or so backlog. Thought I’d share some here.
Mom and Dad were in town last week, and we took them to bingo at Red Rock. I found the seriousness with which they took this noble game impressive for [...]

Luke, I am your father

Carlo was very excited this weekend because the limited edition Marc Ecko Storm Trooper hoodies arrived at Fashion Show mall. He of course had to go out and get one!

Back to my regular geeky husband

At last!

There are basically three “seasons” in Vegas: hot, hotter than hell, and very cold and windy. Thankfully we survived the 3 or so months of hotter than hell weather this summer and have been enjoying just plain hot weather the past month with highs still in the mid-90s. Today ushers in the brief transition between [...]
