What's that Smell? Part II.

By
Yup... it's FALL! The smell of open windows, and crunchy leaves on the ground. It has a distinct smell of fresh air with a hint of smoky... mm..



So it's been a while. Let's recap the past, oh, 9 months. We got married, so that took up most of the year. Anika finished her first YEAR of law school. 1 down, 2 to go! We wrote all of our wedding thank-you cards, which also took a long time. And, we decided where to honeymoon - finally. We'll be going to (drumroll..) Argentina! In December, just when it's time to layer up in DC. I can't wait. And, we've harvested tons of peppers and tomatoes from our lovely little veggie garden in the front of our apartment.







We've also had a lot of visitors, since we upgraded to a new apartment with a spare bedroom. It makes us feel like real adults. Amit visited, and we explored the beautiful VA wine country - we paired wine with $ 0.25 hot dogs, yum!










Here's a photo of Anika and the brothers Coats, at a tea party rally in DC. Everyone loved the Fox News truck, and taking a photo with the truck just seemed appropriate. It was a pretty bizarre rally, with all kinds of crazies shouting for their particular cause. My favorite was the accusation that AmeriCorps is a civilian army... that is ARMED by the government. Last time I checked, AmeriCorps 'army' members didn't qualify for much more than food stamps, but maybe they've changed the program around a little.

After the rally, Sapun tried out being an astronaut. Lookin good!



We also enjoyed to Opera in the Ballpark. They showed the 'season-opening' opera for free in the baseball park (the Barber of Seville), simultaneously with the premiere in the theater for paying patrons. It was pretty awesome, especially when we snuck in heaps of wine & cheese, so we could sit, drink, and enjoy the show all for free. Good times.


All in all, it was a fun summer, which makes being back in school that much more difficult. At least we have South America and more consistent blogging to look forward to!

Repatriation, Month 2

By
We're in the second month of returning stateside. What an evolution it's been. We relied heavily on family to get us through the first few weeks, spending nearly every weekend with cousins. It was nice, but they have their own routine, and we needed to establish our own. Finally, with the house painted, new floors installed, furniture delivered (hallelujah!), assembled, and boxes (mostly) cleared out, it looks like a house we can live in. Camping had become exhausting and wore the kids out. On the other hand, suddenly having a full house somewhat overwhelmed them - they would start massive fights over a single toy, ignoring the fact that there were now quite a lot of options to choose from. Given our long-term exhaustion over the past several months, this has been an annoying challenge. We have started to establish more of a routine though, and I already feel my mood lifted because of it. I hope it's the same for the kids. The early morning school routine hurts (whyyyyy...

The Failure of the Mueller Development in Austin

By
About ten years ago, development began on a 'forward-looking', 'sustainable', 'transit-oriented' planned residential development that would be near the city, called  Mueller in Austin. Today, it's wildly popular, with higher-than-average per-square-foot housing costs, high HOA fees, and homes selling quickly. However, I believe it is a total failure. Austin had a chance to start from a clean slate, where a truly people-centered community could be built. One with dedicated bike lanes, infrastructure for transit growth plans (extra lanes for bus rapid transit lines... tracks for a tram... anything, really). One with businesses sprinkled throughout the community in a way that would offer true walkability. More options like the garden court homes (which sold super quickly, by the way, but are unfortunately VERY limited in quantity) which have protected and shared backyard space for multiple homes in the same way a German baugruppe of housing might. Things th...
