Best Room for Rent in Park City

Saturday, September 16th, 2006

I have moved to Park City. I found a great place to live, just a block from work, two blocks from the Park City Mountain Resort town lift, and three blocks from the bars.

And it snowed last night!

This is the view out my front door, and a close-up of the snow. I’ve only [...]

Anywhere But Down

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

When new students arrive at Pomona in the fall, they always sit through the requisite slideshows and welcome speeches. They are told these will be the most exciting years of their lives. They are told to make the most of it. They are assured that everyone else is as nervous as they [...]

The Weather’s Good

Sunday, July 9th, 2006

at 6900 feet, roughly 6600 feet above Claremont.

It’s been a while, but here’s the update — Italy was indeed great with Berky and Folu. I had the best meal of my life (salmon, but 5x better than any other salmon I’ve ever had… and Walter’s serves good salmon) in Venice. We drank a [...]

The Leaving Song

Friday, April 28th, 2006

Dude, I made it onto my girlfriend’s blog. I guess this means it is internet-official, and so I’m allowed to write gushing posts about her. Well, if anyone hadn’t figured it out from hearing me obsess about how hella tight she is or hints on thefacebook, now they know. In short: a [...]

Yeah You

I haven’t updated in a while.

If you’re interested in public education drop me a line. Between three and eight years from now I’m going to call you back. Promise.

In Loving Memory

Friday, January 13th, 2006

I’m at a math conference in San Antonio right now having a great time, but I wanted to pause for a moment and post this today.

It’s unbelievable to me that it’s been three years.

They came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything [...]
