Recently I have been listening to a Harry Potter podcast that I really enjoy and highly recommend called Dear Mr. Potter. As I’ve been getting into podcasts (Yes, I know I’m late!), I’ve been seeking out content about topics I really enjoy – which most certainly includes Harry Potter! Unfortunately the vast majority of HarryContinue reading “Dear Mr. Potter”

Last Friday we hosted a Harry Potter dinner at our house for a small group of friends. It was a blast! DECORATIONSTo create a Hogwarts-like ambiance, we made a few changes to our dining room: We set up all of our Harry Potter books on the buffet: The wands are courtesy of the incomparable (andContinue reading “Harry Potter Dinner”
Magical Weekend in Florida
Last weekend we went to Florida to celebrate our nephew’s sixth birthday! It’s been years since I’ve been and a great deal has changed since the last time I was there. Katie and I flew in Thursday and were immediately treated to a wonderful dinner of fish tacos at my brother’s new house. Both heContinue reading “Magical Weekend in Florida”
Easter
Easter was a wonderful experience this year! Now that I’m back in the US, Katie and I returned to our routine of driving up to Hot Springs, AR to visit extended family. The drive is seven hours but it went by quickly as we spent much of the time talking and listening to Harry PotterContinue reading “Easter”
London
This weekend in London was awesome. After a week of being sick enough to keep me out of the office (The doctor was positive I had malaria–yikes!) I managed to shape up enough to travel on Friday without incident. Friday evening itself was uneventful and I just settled into my hotel in Westminster. Saturday IContinue reading “London”
Long Time, No Blog
Sorry I’ve been off the scene for a while. Coming back from Italy there was a lot to do at work before gallavanting off to the US for the Nolte-Rakowitz wedding. Then, once over there, there was a lot to do trying to keep things moving forward remotely. My time in the US was veryContinue reading “Long Time, No Blog”
Tolkien and Workouts
I finished The Silmarillion last week and have moved on to The Hobbit. I really love the simple, fantastic Hobbit narrative. It was the hook that bought me into the rest of Tolkien‘s works (Thanks again, Lee and Sam!), which I have read and reread many times over. In many ways this is similar toContinue reading “Tolkien and Workouts”

Let me bring you up to speed in a few areas: Classes Last week we finished our second and final weekContinue reading “Delinquent Blogger”
Electives
This weekend I finished reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, my favorite (so far) of the movies. It was a great read and I’m really enjoying the extra depth that the books provide–both of the plot and of the character development. Although it may sound blasphemous, I find that there are some scenesContinue reading “Electives”
GE O&G
I feel good about the GE O&G interviews yesterday. The people I met with were smart, motivated and were working on intersting, impactful challenges. The company clearly has the potential for major impact on the world’s energy supply and carbon footprint. Furthermore it is part of a corporation that also is doing more and moreContinue reading “GE O&G”
