Erin and I are back from our trip to Seattle and San Francisco. It was a lot of fun roaming around the Pacific Northwest for a week - eating, drinking, hiking, running, etc. We took a lot of photos (over a thousand), and I’ll be posting a few of my favorites this to Flickr week.
Erin and I heading to Seattle and San Francisco for a week and we’d like to eat some tasty food, drink coffee, hear great music, see some art (and hopefully learn more about the history of each town) and spend time outside enjoying nature. Any recommendations?
Google Calendar is incredible
Fantastic!
I’ve taken the whole week off to relax and stay local. It’s pretty nice.
It’s Erin’s 26th birthday today (happy birthday!). We’re heading out for dinner and a movie in a few hours. Jin Ju (Korean) on Clark St, not sure about the movie.
Tomorrow, we’re heading out to dinner with a bunch of people then heading back to Erin’s brother’s place for a new years eve party.
The year 2005 has gone by far too fast, and I suspect 2006 won’t slow down at all. Here are the top things that I want to do in 2006:
-Snowboard and ski for the first time -Travel to Spain, France, Switzerland, Holland and possibly Italy again -Receive scuba diving certification -Cycle a century (100 miles) -Spend 3-4 days in wine country (doesn’t really matter where, but probably back to California)
I hope that everyone has an amazing year in 2006!
My brother Dave and I win again
A coworker told me today that his favorite interview question is: ‘What is your favorite Miles Davis album?’. Interesting.
I’ve been pretty busy lately, and haven’t take the time to write my thoughts down.
“Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.”
This last weekend was a nice, long weekend. On Friday, Erin and I went to Milwaukee to visit my older brother and his family. While there, we saw the Black Crowes and Tom Petty at SummerFest. We came back on Sunday to see the Cubs play the Nationals, a team I didn’t know existed until I looked at the ticket stub. Sometimes I feel like I’ve lost my machismo, and that not only should I know who the Washington Nationals are, but I should be able to recite a long list of stats from the past fifteen baseball seasons. But I don’t, and it’s because baseball is just plain boring. I know that’s un-man, and un-American…but come on! Football, hockey, bicycle racing- all exciting. Erin even made a comment that it doesn’t seem like players were running hard enough. Hell…without beer, the sport of baseball might not even exist!
