An Early Thanksgiving and B-Day Bash

On Saturday we had a b-day/early thanksgiving bash. Having a birthday so close to thanksgiving always ensures a good meal. After 8 hours in the kitchen, Isabelle and I were completely satisfied with the bird and so was everyone else. The dutch contingent enjoyed it so much they suggested a repeat in February.

TeamWork

Testing out some suction cups that Becky got turned into a feat of human endurance as you can see in the photo above. Each cup is rated to 40kg, pretty impressive.

WHAT AN ELECTION!

In celebration of yesterday's election results we had a little party at the Art Bar. Everyone was happy and London reacted with a lot of enthusiasm towards our new president. What a fantastic day!

Will's Photos from Chicago

About a month ago I posted some of my pictures from Chicago. After getting Will's photos today I thought that I would post them too. I especially like the composition of the crane photo.

Marathon Number 1

Exactly one week after finishing the Dublin marathon with my Dad and Gianpaolo, I am posting the pictures. I finished with a time of 04:03:53 which I was happy with, but will no doubt be trying to better soon. I had a great time training and even more fun on the day of the big run. As masochistic as it sounds, I'm already looking for one to run in the spring.

WOW!!!

My Friday was made much more exciting with Becky's purchase of spring-loaded stilts. Very, very cool.
