Haircut!

I donated my hair to Locks of Love today.

Before:



Rebecca and Sara came along to watch the event. Here are some pictures of the process that Sara took. Rebecca may sometimes be seen in the mirror.







After:

More snow

Winter isn't over yet! After getting almost no snow from early January to late March, I think this is the third significant snowfall in as many weeks. Here's a view out my guest bedroom window:

First bike ride of the year

I rode with Sara and Rich from Louisville to the Boulder Farmer's Market this morning, where we met up with friends of ours, Josh and James. I snacked on the vendors' offerings before settling on tamales for lunch. We had some chai at the Dushanbe Teahouse, then headed back home.

UPDATE: Josh (front left) took this picture of us at the Dushanbe Teahouse. Clockwise from him are Rich, Sara, James, and me.

Badminton

I played badminton tonight with the Boulder Badminton Club. Ilana, my new office-mate (since January), is a member. I'd played a couple times before with my co-workers Joost, Julie, and Craig. It's a fun sport!

Google Maps

One day last fall, Harald and I were sitting outside of my favorite coffee shop in Boulder, Peaberry, when we saw a car with a set of cameras on top. We figured it was the google street view car, so I've been checking for us periodically since then. Today, I noticed we had made it on street view!

I am sitting with my back to the glass, wearing a white shirt. Harald is to my left; his silver Subaru Outback is in front of us.



We're pretty far away, but google tends to blur out people's faces (and license plates) anyway.

Ann's birthday party

Last night, I went out with a group of people from work to celebrate Ann's birthday. We went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner, followed by a trip to the Grizzly Rose, a cowboy bar in north Denver.

Here are pictures of our table, and of Ann and the Joe's Crab Shack staff:

Week-and-a-half Update

A week and a half ago I flew to Washington, DC, to visit with my parents, aunt, uncle, and cousins.

I took this picture while we were waiting for a gate to open:



I visited GW's campus; the most noticeable difference for me was that where the hospital used to be, there was nothing,



and where there was once nothing, there was a new hospital (above the Foggy Bottom Metro stop).



Unfortunately, I didn't use my camera for the rest of the trip. I had a good time though, and was able to meet some first-cousins-once-removed for the first time.

It snowed over a foot this past Thursday, which gave me a day off from work. The weekend was sunny and warmer, so the snow is quickly starting to melt.

In anticipation of participating in the Bolder Boulder, I went for a jog today. Here's the route I took.
