OK, it’s been a bit since my last post, here’s what I’ve been up to:
- Kelly and I have been to the Goose Hollow Inn a couple weekends in a row, first just Kelly and I, a second time with our friends T & Aymie and Miranda. Good lord I love their reuben sandwich. Mmmmmm….
- Had an afternoon outing with some co-workers last Friday. The development team at SuperSweetCo were given a few hours reprieve to celebrate the the next big release of SuperSweetCo’s flagship app, and were taken to Grand Central Bowl. And despite my embarrassing high score of 86, I had a good time. Oh, Grand Central is definitely the fanciest bowling alley you’ll ever go to.
- Still digging on the kegerator, my brother dropped by over the weekend, we hung out in my garage (aka: ‘Ryan N Kelly’s Pub’), had pizza delivered, and generally had fun chatting and sipping beers.
- Kelly and I have been planning another trip to Europe (Belgium and Netherlands, taking advantage of the direct flights from Portland to Amsterdam)… looking forward to another vacation.
I’ll close with a video I found yesterday, by Trey Parker & Matt Stone (of South Park fame) featuring an audio clip by Alan Watts.
You can watch more of these here.

Mmm…Goooooose…
Oh my god, I love that video. It makes such an amazing point. As if life is a rat race and once we realize we have lost control of our own destiny it could feel almost too late. Realizing what we were somehow meant to discover to do, versus expected by society is absolutely priceless. This is why it’s so important for me to travel. To see, experience and understand the world beyond what I see daily.
Love it. I will seek and watch more.
Thank you for sharing.
I am now wishing we had more time to spend in Europe. 10 days just isn’t enough. Darn it! 🙁 We’ll plan better for next year. Next year might have less business travel, but who knows.
I’m super excited!
