Check out my podcast, with a special Pasadena guest!

Many years ago I lived in Pasadena. This blog was one of the ways I explored my new home, and how I met new people - especially those in the blogging community. Some of those connections have lasted well beyond our final year in Pasadena. One of those people was the incredible Ann Erdman, who was Pasadena's Public Information Officer for many years, and who wrote the lovely Pasadena PIO blog.

Last year I started a podcast with a friend of mine called The Sound Logic Podcast. Each week we listen to an album from Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Even though I haven't seen Ann in almost 9 years since I moved to Pennsylvania, Ann was kind enough to join us on a recent episode as our special guest!

You can listen to that episode right here;

Is anybody out there?

After more than a year off, I'm back to being a photoblogger.  I've enjoyed the freedom stepping back for a while, but lately I've been craving the creative space that I discovered when I began "the sky is big in pasadena".  I considered giving this one a facelift and starting it up again, but after some serious thought I felt better about simply starting anew.

You can follow along at my new photoblog, 113 and Beyond.  I hope to see you there!

back to fuller


after spending four year on this campus, it feels a little strange to be just visiting after being away for a year. granted, i have many warm memories, and it is good to be back.

re-discovering our favorite foods


in our four years in pasadena, we fell in love with the many culinary treasures of this area. part of our goal this trip was to enjoy some of that food all over again. so far we are doing well with that goal.

mountain retreat


The first thing we did after our arrival was to head to the mountains to reconnect with our church family from Pasadena Mennonite who had gathered for a retreat weekend.
