My grandmother never met a stack of pills she didn’t count and complain about.

Kate’s 3rd birthday

My niece was turning three, so I flew to Texas for the Tangled-themed party. My sister-in-law must have spent hours and hours decorating and coming up with activities, but Kate’s favorite part was simply the balloons.

Never built

Design, Photo / May. 27, 2011

To illustrate the cover story about architecture/CRE projects that were planned but never executed, I mashed up a post-cival war plan for a gothic tower Memorial Bridge with a photo I took of the actual Memorial Bridge that was built in the 1920s. I was really hoping to shoot the bridge from the opposite side so you could see the Lincoln in the distance, but it was just impossible since the Virginia side is pretty heavily wooded.

Bet you didn’t know the TGV goes all the way to Stuttgart. Well it does, which means going to Strasbough for the day is super easy. I even got to put my (puny) French skills to use, and people didn’t even look at me like I was trying to speak Klingon. Pretty sure that was less because of my improved linguistic abilities and more that the folks in Strasbough are nicer than your typical Parisian.
