Seems to be a little bit of boom for Gram Parsons material. Rhino just released The Complete Reprise Sessions Box Set. In the process of looking that up (I haven’t bought it yet), I noticed a dvd entitled Gram Parsons - Fallen Angel. Instead of buying that, I ordered it up on […]
I guess I am a sucker for the brown t-shirts with the funny animals on them. I just have not decided I need any of the pirate ones yet.
I guess it was only in the high 70s today, but it still feels hot, hot, hot. It is kind of nice that summer is here early. We might even have a sunny 4th of July next week.
On a day where I also saw Jack Black in Nacho Libre, you would think that The New World would stand out as an example of great, artistic,poetic filmmaking. Not for me. I would take Nacho Libre any day (and it wasn’t that good of a movie).

We launched the Estes rocket this morning. I got a pre-built model called the Speed Freak, which meant little assembly work. It also has a speedometer in the nose cone. We headed out early to Marymoor Park in Redmond. We expected it to be deserted, but the remote control airplane guys […]

The cold medicine is not making the US World Cup performance look any better. 1-2 loss to Ghana. Landon Donovan just never really played up to the level needed for the US to have great run in the World Cup. 1-2-3 out. Given the lack of crispness or execution, I think Bruce […]
I am still dragging from my cold, sore throat, flu thingy. Going to work doesn’t seem to be helping.
On the bright side, I did get to have some meatball soup while at our favorite local Mexican-American restaurant in Kirkland celebrating our friend Richard’s birthday. He got the jumbo margarita, so I am […]
It’s been a long, weird weekend. Not as crazy as the one in June 2004, but perhaps there
Friday is a blur. We headed into Seattle to have dinner at Marco’s Supper Club with friends. The food was ok. I was expecting better. The fried sage leaves were very tasty. […]
