Doug versus The Volcano

The volcano won the first battle. Last week, we were supposed to have a long-planned vacation to Belgium. On Thursday morning the Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted from its glacial hibernation in Iceland. Flights across Northern Europe were canceled to avoid the dangers of flying through the volcanic ash plume. It gave us an opportunity to teach [...]

The Son’s First Visit to Fenway

Last Sunday I brought The Son to his first game at Fenway Park. No surprise that he was more interested in the food than the game. Still, he managed to stick around to hear the crowd sing Sweet Carolina, one of his favorite songs. He joined right in.

Happy Father’s Day

I am spending the day at Boston’s Museum of Science with The Son. (Mrs. Doug gets The Daughter for the day.) The museum is hosting a media day on Father’s Day. Apparently they think being a contributor to the GeekDad blog counts as being part of the media. Who am I to argue when they [...]

I get a little enthusiastic about carving pumpkins. Here is my first victim for 2008: Thanks to the pumpkin lady for the spider pattern.

A New Chapter for Me

Yesterday was my last day at The Firm. It was hard to walk out the door after 13 great years. Andy Sucoff extended me an offer to join the real estate group during the summer of 1995.  It has been great working with one of the best group of real estate lawyers in the country. [...]

Back to Work

After spending the month of March home with my daughter on paternity leave, I am back in the office. A lot of changes have happened in the real estate industry, but it looks like the players in the debt markets are still trying to figure out what assets they have before they start making money [...]
