Recent Travels

New York and Texas

Here are some photos from our recent travels to New York and Texas.

Maower

We learned today from Andria, Katie's old roommate and bridesmaid, that our old cat Maower has lymphoma. Andria, Katie, and I found him in the fall of 2000 when we visited an animal shelter in Chicago. There was never really any doubt as to which cat we would pick, because when Katie held Maower (which Rawson told us was German for "wall"), she started laughing uncontrollably at his sheer girth. He has some pretty endearing qualities, like whining for tuna, placing his full weight on your lap, and angrily pooping in corners because his previous owners had removed the claws he otherwise would have used to destroy our legs. But he's ultimately a sweet cat, and Andria's been lucky to have him for the past five years.

Maower is eleven now, we think, and still alive and kicking. He has had many names: Simba, Malachy, Fatty, Maower, etc. But most importantly, he's had a life full of good tuna, good owners, and a tubby butt. Long live the 27 lbs. feline--we will miss him.

A reminder

We're blogging about our China experience over on our other blog, Boulder2Beijing. Check it out.

Green, Greene, and Rabbi Greenburg

Our friends Susan Green and Adam Greene were married by Rabbi Greenburg on the eastern edge of the greens of Central Park. Oddly enough, there was a lot of green flowers at the wedding. And they made the Times.

We've been busy

Post Bar

Since the bar exam, we've been traveling a bit and celebrating a bit, and we've attached some pictures of our activities above. There's also a few more pics up on Chris and Jenny's website, Roenblog.

For now, though, we're getting ready to head east, to Beijing. In fact, we leave one week from today. We'll keep it professional over at our other blog, Boulder2Beijing, while keeping friends and family entertained on this one. Please keep in touch.
