A new car
I vowed never to buy a minivan, but well... we bought a used minivan. The lab auctioned off it's car, and in anticipation of Jon and sue coming, we thought it would be a good idea

The kids have started climbing lessons!
The drill was to run to to any part of the wall and hang on. Zoe went straight for the 7a. I'm a proud papa.

Madeleine, the best way
There is a little known way to get to Madeleine via the South. Little known because it requires a little riding in the dirt, which many are loathe to do on their road bikes. Hank and I, however are no encumbered by such pragmatism, and so we got to enjoy one of the the most beautiful rides in the Maurienne.
Always a pleasure riding with Hank!

Tour de Chartreuse
My college buddy Micah came up for a little (ok a big) ride through the Chartreuse. Placette->St. Laurent->St Pierre d'Entremont->Granier->return via the plateau. It's a stunning ride, and we both felt pretty studly because it was raining for a good bit of the ride!
We stopped at Hank's at St. Pancrasse, and eventually made it back to our place. What a great ride.

Sad
Many nice beans, all incinerated in typical "French Roast" style. Maybe someone can explain what the upside of dark roasting is?

Hanging out with Ben and Terry!
Great as usual! We went to two breweries in Marin, and I enjoyed hoppy beer
Then back to mom's place where we sampled some Medronho, and broke out the turn of the century, pre-ban Absinthe
