It's been a long time since I've gotten out my lappy to write, so I might as well write about what I've been up to and all the news.
First, I'd like to announce the new addition to our family: Samson or the Samsonator or Samuel L. Samson and sometimes even Sammy Davis Samson. He was my Christmas present from Glenn. We rescued him from the human society on December 23rd, and he has since become our child. Samson loves playing mousey and will bring it to you constantly. His other hobbies include chirping, waking us up early on days we can sleep in, and dancing. He is also partial to the Colbert Report and Hell's Kitchen. He enjoys being pet anywhere as he is a total attention whore. He's the most perfect kitty.
My second big announcement is that I got a new job! Yay! It's in the private sector and for a company that I believe in (think Green). I was hired as a quantitative research analyst. The money is fantastic, and I really feel like I can make a contribute and add value to the Quant. department. I'm a good researcher and statistician and it seems they need both!
Now that I am settled in a relationship, my traveling has been minimal these days. The last major trip I took was in October. Teri and I went to Brussels and Prague.
Brussels: There is not a lot to do here and everything that you can do in Brussels is in walking distance (it's a small city). The people are fantastic. The food, beer, coffee, and chocolate are beyond compare. If you got to Brussels, you must do a day trip to Bruges (to see the beauty of Brugge I highly recommend the movie In Brugges).
I thought this name of this pub in Brussels was hysterical. My most favorite name for a pub was the Mort Subite aka Swift Death. The Belgians are funny!

Brussels is fantastic for their people, food, and beverages, but Prague is about the polar opposite. The people aren't as friendly and the food isn't as good, but going to that city is like stepping back into time. It is one of the most beautiful cities that I've been too. My pictures are still being developed but here are a couple.
Teri and I posing in front of the Astronomical Clock. The best time to explore Prague is in the early morning. We got an early start and were one of the first people out.
The hazy view from Prague castle. It was sooooo cold that day.
I will leave you with a list of things that are coming up that I am looking forward too: Duran Duran, Vegas to see Love and Duran Duran, Avenue Q, Eddie Izzard (can't believe I get to see him live), Nine Inch Nails, Oasis, Bumbershoot....
