I got my son a new bike recently, as he looked like the jolly green giant riding his old 24″. Now that he has a ‘grownup’ bike, and the addition of a trailer for his sister, we’ve been getting out every chance we get. It sure doesn’t hurt that Seattle’s...

Oh my my what a busy few weeks, culminating in what should be a great Memorial Day weekend in eastern Washington. I came across this video and have to share. My son will be turning 12 in just over a week, and this summer we (including his 4yo sister) plan to head out to the mountains a...

Friday Psych 5-18-12

It’s been such a nice, sunny week here in Seattle, it’s been quite difficult to focus on work and getting things done. Today is Bike to Work/School day, and in honor of that, I thought I’d share one of my favorite bike clips. Imagine if this was your daily commute? ...
