Shotguns

On Wednesday, the day after the birth of your Lord, I went and blew away some clay pigeons with a shotgun. Trent invited me to join him and his father down in Orting. His dad, Jay, and his dad’s buddy, Bryan, taught me how to use a shotgun. It’s pretty simple, you just load in the shells, cock, and fire.… read more “Shotguns”

Good Eats and Drinks

Jason Robinett invited me over to his sister Rachelle’s place for wine and pizza and movies. We watched the entertainingly ridiculous “Live Free or Die Hard” and “Rescue Dawn” starring Christian Bale as a Viet Cong captive. We relaxed and shot the breeze, it was nice.

Tonight, the legendary chef Ian is coming over to my place to prepare a feast.… read more “Good Eats and Drinks”

Joel’s Relaxed Weekend

Ate Ethiopian food last night with Fletch and Rachel. Went home and spent the rest of the evening with the lady.

Tonight I went down south and watched Enchanted with my friend and her daughter. Interesting flick for a Disney kids’ movie. If you want to hang out with anyone under 12, that movie would be a good choice.

Evel Knievel Has Passed Away

Today, the legendary Evel Knievel died of heart problems. He was 69.

Who has accomplished more for mankind than the man who tried to jump the Grand Canyon with a rocket-propelled motorcycle? Who has loved life more than the man who laid it all on the line for that wonderful jolt of adrenaline most of us get from driving in traffic?… read more “Evel Knievel Has Passed Away”

Pioneer Square Office

The wonderful thing about working in Pioneer Square is all the diverse crazies. I just looked at my window and watched a very drunk man peer around him, then whip it out between two white minivans parallel parked along Jackson and pee all over the street. As my coworkers and I watched and laughed his pee puddle trickled back down to his foot and he shuffled in a little half circle around it.… read more “Pioneer Square Office”

Brett Favre and the Zodiac Killer

After work yesterday, I walked up the Fox Sports Grill on 5th & Pike in downtown Seattle and watched the Cowboys-Packers game with Nick Fitzer and a bunch of his friends. The Dallas Cowboys won, while Brett Favre went down with an injured arm. I don’t usually watch much sports and I think it was more entertaining to watch the crowds of office denizens yell at the plasma televisions in the bar and each other than the game itself.… read more “Brett Favre and the Zodiac Killer”
