before i was in france, alina was in england getting her reiki master certification. pretty cool, i know. to make it even better she received her certification with william rand in glastenbury - near the site of stonehenge.
this is a picture of her at stonehenge the day of her final atunement.

now i'm going in revers chronological order... before napa i took a 10 day trip to france and monaco to visit the restaurants of my boss, alain ducasse. it was a whirlwind, seeing 2 kitchens a day, meeting lots of people and, of course, eating along the way. this is a shot from outside the hotel de paris, in monte carlo - home of the beginnings of groupe alain ducasse - le louis xv...

rabbit loin at mustard's grill

i know... our blog has become an afterthought. posts are becoming more and more random. i've been reduced to posting pictures from a trip we took 3 months ago... shame, shame. well, i'm going to resurrect our old friend 'davidandalina' and start to once again share the 'goings on' in our life with you (whoever you are).
this pic is from one of many great meals we had while in napa valley. mustard's grill, ad hoc, bouchon, the french laundry, the slanted door and boulevard - just to name a few.
anyways, it's linked to a few new pics i just posted on flickr. take a look if you have a chance.

Trey Anastasio Band at 9:30 Club, Feb 2010

we ignored the blizzard warnings and hiked up the street to the 9:30 club to see trey and his band. this was the first time, in all of the years touring with phish, that they (at least one of them...) came to my neighborhood... alina and i had a great night - trey rocked it out for about 3 hours and then we walked home in a blizzard - again. we had really been hoping recently that we were gong to get to see phish this spring on the much rumored european tour everyone is hoping for - but as it turns out, it looks like we'll be waiting to see them again this summer - maybe merry weather, spac again???

here is the 02.09.10 trey and classic tab setlist at 9:30 club.

Set 1: Push On Till The Day, Shine, Gotta Jibboo, Mozambique, Tuesday, Money Love & Change, Tube Top Wobble, Valentine, Words to Wanda, Burlap Sack and Pumps, Night Speaks to a Woman

Set 2: Cayman Review, Simple Twist Up Dave, Drifting, Sand, Liquid Time, The Birdwatcher, Show of Life, The Way I Feel, First Tube

Encore: Magilla, Dragonfly

february 2010 blizzard in dc

here is a shot i took of alina at thomas circle as we were walking home on the night of the first snow storm... a few hours later, we would wake up to almost 3 feet on the ground outside.
