Brush with fame

Last week, Leah's brother, Nathan was in town for a visit and we met for dinner at McMenamins. It's always great to see Mat and Leah and it was fun to meet Nathan.


Nathan is a bit of a celebrity. After inventing a super-fast rope ascender (it's like reverse rappelling), he started a business to sell his product and landed a job as a host of Design Squad, an engineering show for kids that's on PBS. He was actually in town to do some presentations for kids at OMSI and go on a morning news show. Pretty cool. Nathan is a super-nice guy (how could a sibling of Leah's not be?) who just happens to be really smart and creative.

It was a fun evening!
