Mount Jackson Revenge!

After a fun hike and a great weekend over the New Year’s holiday, I wasn’t sure when the next opportunity Katy and I would get to knock another NH 4000 footer off our list. Most weekends during the law school semester are extremely busy. However, during this past week, Katy mentioned several times that she [...]

Mount Hale and Zipline Tour

This past weekend Katy and I took a mini vacation … to the White Mountains in New Hampshire … again. If you’ve been keeping up with this blog you will notice that this has been a frequent destination of ours this summer. Before the summer, when we had only summited 10 of the 48 4000 [...]

Mounts Tom, Field, and Willey

After our recent Labor Day weekend trek up North and South Kinsman, Katy and I had completed 7 of the 48 4000 footers in New Hampshire. In the hopes of getting to double digits before the winter settles in, we planned a visit to AL and UP’s condo in Bartlett, NH for Columbus Day weekend [...]

The Kinsmans

This weekend, Katy and I decided to continue our assault on the 4000 footers by taking a single day trip up to Franconia Notch to summit the peaks of North Kinsman and South Kinsman. This time, however, we brought friends. My sister, Maureen and Katy’s sister Anne both took us up on our invitation to [...]

Mount Moriah

A lot of things have happened since Katy and I tagged the top of our most recent 4000 footer. Most notably, we got married! After years of dating, a long engagement, and much planning, we finally tied the knot on June 12, 2010. It was a perfect ceremony, a whirlwind reception, and an incredible day. [...]

Mount Tecumseh

After a long winter with many changes going on in my life, this weekend it was time to get back to our new constant. Katy and I checked off another mountain in our pursuit to join the White Mountain 4000 Footers Club. This trip was actually a very spur of the moment trip. Our weekends [...]

What’s Next?

So what’s next for me? I’m happy to say the initial trauma of being laid off is gone, but not without sentiment. Sun Microsystems is the first company that I worked for as a fresh, green college graduate, and I like to think that my experiences there took a very unique path. I started off [...]

Oh LaTeX how you taunt me

Here’s a good one. Since I’m currently unemployed and looking for a job, naturally I’ve been sending resumes out. I’ve used LaTeX to generate my resume for years now, and it has always worked out quite well. However, today I had a need to print out my resume, and when I did, I noticed that [...]

Shocking News

It’s been a while since I posted anything on this blog, and I wish my return was the result of better circumstances but no such luck: my position at Sun Microsystems has been eliminated, and as a result I have been let go. It is ironic that the European Union’s lengthy delay in approving the [...]
