Merry Christmas! I am down in South Carolina with Matt's family, and it's snowing. The accumulation is only 2-4 inches, but it's still impressive ( Read more... )

One of the perks of my new job is free tickets to the New England Aquarium, which I've been wanting to visit for a while. Little known fact: I love aquariums, and the last one I visited was in Albuquerque, which was surprisingly abundant for an aquarium in a landlocked city.
