I admit that sometimes I am not the easiest person to keep track of. Jetting off to here and there; I am never at home by my phone. Hopefully you can keep up to date with these notes. --Dan
I stopped over at the Audubon Circle Restaurant and Bar on Beacon after I was done climbing at Metrorock. I met up with Matt, Ben+Lauren, and Lauren’s friend Andrea for an after dinner round. Audubon is completely different from the other bars around Fenway; The cheap beer and large televisions that frequent those […]
Our softball team is doing pretty well so far this season. Tonight I was three for three along with a two RBI hit! That brings my record to 14 for 18 this summer. The playoffs are coming up, and I am anxious to see how far we can go. After the […]
I went climbing with the guys today to MetroRock and met a girl named Hanna. We concluded she obviously wants me because she took my name and number three times! I thought it was all a bit ridiculous. I had never been to MetroRock climbing before, since I had always gone to […]
I am back in Boston now, and my first order of buisness was to get out on the water! I stopped in at IBM and grabbed my wakeboard, and am now out at Sean’s for the first wakeboarding of the summer!
I went skiing this week in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula at Ski Brule. Our timing could not have been better, seeing as the past two days have been the coldest of the year. It was twenty below each day, which meant we had all the runs to ourselves: no line at the chair lifts, […]
It was Friday night, so what better to do than take over the world! Everyone came over to my house to give it a try. The new Risk boards come with a slimmed down version of the rule book. We played by the 1980 Risk rules, with all the optional rules for […]
Today I went to a Twins game with Chris, my old roommate from Madison! I bought a jumbo Chicago dog, which was the largest hotdog I have ever seen. There were more “fixins” on it that you can get at subway. It was very tasty at 11 in the morning! I […]
Today was my last “Wakeboarding Wednesday” of the summer. I am overcome by Sean’s generosity, letting us come over each week and sometimes on the weekends. Grilling out each night and chatting over bottles of wine was as fun as the wakeboarding itself. To say thank you, we bought Sean a weather […]
Every sport has its own Natalie Portman. Snowboarding and Skiing have bottomless powder, a wind at 45 degrees while sailing, or a cheesy meatloaf song playing during bowling league. This morning we were faced with the perfect conditions for wakeskating, a lake as smooth as glass!
Today I flew over a mirror as I […]
Today after work Joe, Jordi, and I went over to climb at the Boston Rock Gym. With over 40 ropes and several paths on each, there was plenty of variety. I am still climbing around 5.7 or 5.8, and they had plenty of that difficulty for me to choose from. I even […]
It was my fifth time out wakeboarding this summer, and I finally landed my first jump. This of course was accompanied by several spectacular crashes and superman like aerobatic maneuvers!
Sunday I went rock climbing at Red Rocks with our new friend Micah who I met at Risque. It was very pleasurable climbing rock wall faces in that very scenic area. I hadn’t been climbing since this past summer in Boston, and now I think I will have to procure some climbing shoes.
