We just got back from a high energy trip to New York.  A quick rundown of the experience includes: double decker air mattress with headboard, old friends, new friends, new museum (hell yes!), national history museum, extreme mammals, spicy macaroni and cheese, super-sized squash, pho, china town massages & cupping, cupping hickeys, stanley the guinea pig, tater heaven, beautiful weather, catching up about old projects, catching up about new projects, high fives, the metro.

Stanley.

massage, cupping, strange oil, “Tips”

At Kelsey’s house for dinner Monday night. Note huge butternut squash on the mantle.

We stayed a couple nights with Josh’s brother Elan who has a great view of the city.  Elan officially has the coolest job of all, he’s a director at the Natural History Museum and gets to regularly interface with research scientists, and of course we had to drop in to visit him there.

It is 20 degrees cooler in antler shade.

We had a great time and we’re excited to be back with a slightly higher interest in breeding guinea pigs.

On our recent excursion to NM we would often climb things. In this instance I got excited and started running down a hill. Looking back at it I realized it looked like I was about to take off into flight. Thanks Kevin Hoth for playing with this and Helen for photographing it and rental car for your willingness to be attacked.

Exercise videos coming soon / stay tuned………

We recently got back from some R&D out in New Mexico.  We can’t spill the beans yet but this project is going to be cutting, edge.  We traveled to Santa Fe where we got to stay and work with our wonderful hosts.  Secret work aside, we climbed mountains, ate christmas (red and green chili), saw zozobra burn, made exercise videos, traveled down scary dirt roads to nothing, took lots of photos, sweated in hot springs, played Settlers of Catan, stumbled onto the set of McGruber and bonded.

Santa Fe, NM – here we come! We’ll tell you about the difference between scattered and isolated when we get back. We’re meeting / pseudo-living with Andrew Merriell & Associates for a few days to work on a rad new project!

Dear clients and friends,

We will be out of the country for a while in February. We will be seeing some of you in New York and then we are traveling to Israel leaving us M.I.A. from the 14th to the 26th. Do not despair, we will be traveling with our internet devices and will be checking email daily.

Enjoy this picture of a cow. (We will be staying at Josh’s grandmother’s dairy farm – where his father grew up – in Israel.)
