Aaaaand… we’re back!

For the last three days, I thought our ISP web host had totally killed our site. Some migration failure on their part & they were none too quick with a response, either.

Good times.

I was looking through Jeff’s photos today because I needed an underwater shot for a work-related blog. I was struck by this image and asked him if I could post it here. He said he fell in love with shooting in black and white on this particular trip to Mexico, and this shot right here… this one inspires me.

See more of Jeff’s work at 130Down Photography, and check out his blog (about diving and motorcycles).

Room with a View

Several weeks ago we headed up to Portland for a weekend. I’d gotten tickets to see David Sedaris at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, and since it had been a while since Mr. Wolf had gotten solid time away from work, we decided to make it a nice long weekend away from home.

We stayed at the Hotel deLuxe which is just outside of downtown and close to everything — we could either walk or take public transportation everywhere, so we parked the car and didn’t move it all weekend. The hotel itself was gorgeous (Mama Wolf would love it — it’s decorated in an “old Hollywood” style), the staff was friendly, and this was our view, looking towards downtown:

I would definitely stay there again.
