My friend Richard pointed me to this wine logging website, Winelog.Net.
I have been using it to log the wine we have stockpiled in the apartment. It is quick and easy to add wines, but I mistakenly added the year to the title a couple of times, so I had things with the year listed […]
It’s been awhile since I went looking for free mp3s on the Internet.
This song by the Those Transatlantics was the second one I listened to off of the Pitchfork Free Downloads page.
“In Your Neighborhood” starts out slow, kind of a rocking lullaby, then kicks up into sugary, sweet pop rock with harmonies. […]
On Monday night, Patty and I attended our second charity event for the Center School, which is a high school located at the Seattle Center where our niece attends high school. Other than the principal looking like he is a teenager, the school seems like a fun, funky school, with an emphasis on the […]

I am sure my assertion in the title is not news to those who know, listen to and read Sarah Vowell. However, it is not every audiobook we take on our road trips that leaves Patty yelling for tissues to clear her eyes as we hurl down the highway at over 70 miles per […]
Back in Redmond after a week on the road.
Here is a photo of an orange psychadelic british rocker furilla near the Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota. More to follow as I settle back into life at less than 75 miles per hour.
I have been rather quiet on the blog as of late, making daily contributions to my Red Sox blog. It has been limited my desire to post on this blog and it also shows that I am a terrible sports writer. I think I am getting better, but hard to tell. Living […]
Maaza is a mango flavored soft drink produced Coca-Cola. It’s sweet mango goodness. I had a couple of these each day I was there.
After visiting Charminar, we decided we were thirsty. We wanted water and beer. We then spent a good amount of time driving around while the tour guide and the driver looked for a place to buy Kingfisher beer. Kingfisher is ok beer, if you don’t want too much out of a […]
