It has been entirely too long

...to go without posting, as noted by new Twitter friend @kateo.

So what's happening? Do Ben and Dru still...
  • like food? Check.
  • make and consume potent potables? Natch.
  • travel? You bet.

Over the last year plus, we've traveled like mad, trying to see the world before settling down. Christmas 2009 through New Years in Aruba, Valentines day weekend in Paris, 4th of July in Portland, Oregon, and an October weekend in New York. Beyond that, I got to see the country from San Francisco to Maine for work.

The super summary by city, Twitter style


Aruba: sunny beaches, quiet island, and I got to read eight books over seven days. Drive the island and stay away from the tourist high-rise cluster.

Paris: three of the best meals I've ever had, incredible museums, long walks, and chilly weather. Food, wine, and strolling.

Portland: saw the Old 97s at Wonder Ballroom, had a great afternoon biking, eating tacos, and drinking at Amnesia Brewing

NYC: The New Museum = blah, MOMA = great; walking = COLD; Fatty 'Cue and Momofuku Ssäm Bar = divine, and hung out with Dru's sister Casey and my friend Becca.

Beyond that, I've adopted twitter @benheartsbeer, switched roles to work in marketing (for the same company), and "settling down" is imminent.

Updates to follow.
