Tonight my friend Snooks and I went out to McMenamins Kennedy School for beers, food, and more beers. While there it struck me that just over two years ago Kelly and I got married there, and two years ago this very day we were in Dublin. Dammit, I wish I were back there right now, [...]
Well, it's official, Travis and I are old now that our kid brother Chad can come out with us drinking beers. We'd been inviting him out on our (more or less) weekly outings since he turned 21 in January, but up until this evening he'd never managed to make it out. Last night he finally [...]
Kind of like soul love, but not really. I’m just loving the cool weather. It’s been a long hot summer and the past two days have been cool, cloudy, and even a little bit rainy. I can almost hear a collective sigh from every tree, shrub, and blade of grass in the entire region. I [...]
Just a quick 'Happy Birthday' post to a good friend John Bob. He had a little gathering at his house this evening, complete with a keg of Terminal Gravity ESG (Extra Special Golden). Kelly and I had a great time. Here's to you JB! (raises virtual glass)
Last night Kelly and I ventured to McMenamins White Eagle Saloon. It's a nice spot, very much a McMenamins, but more relaxed and pleasant than say, Kennedy School, and certainly more enjoyable than Ringlers or the like. One key difference between this and other McMenamins establishments is that The White Eagle has live music (looking [...]
Finally getting around to posting about the annual camping trip known as 'Farmfest' that was held at my friend Brendle's family property near Brownsville, OR.
The trip, like the last 3 years I've been there, was fantastic. This year Ghost Dog was invited along so I rode down with them on Friday, August 11th (Kelly had [...]
While skimming the local weekly news zine Willamette Week just now, a friends name popped out at me. My friend Craig was mentioned there for one of his sites, humanclock.com, which was named as one of Time Magazine's "50 Coolest Websites" 2006. Way to go man!
Craig started Human Clock years ago when he and I [...]
Kelly and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary this evening by having dinner at an upscale Thai food restaurant near where we live called the Siam Society. Despite some of the reviews on CirtySearch.com (presumably by folks that were either very picky or were there on an 'off night') we found both the service and [...]
OK, so I've been neglecting my blogging duties, and I have much to do (such as my beer review, and a post of last weekend's camping excursion) and will get on them soon, but had to write about a pretty big power outage in our neighborhood tonight. Nearly two hours ago there was a dimming, [...]
My friend Martin sent me a link to a page of Star Trek-themed ‘inspirational posters‘. Some of these are just hilarious. You can download larger versions too! I suggest you print them up and hang them around your workplace. Especially the first one… and Nomad.
