Cooking dinner tonight for my friends in Los Angeles. Kenny, Jeremy, Levi, and JJ are going to enjoy the following with me:
Appetizer. Pugliese bread served with Delice de Bourgogne cheese and an olive tapenade.
Salad. Fresh organic spring mix with a spicy balsamic vinagreitte, sliced bell peppers, tomatoes, chopped pistachios, cranberries, thin apple slices and oranges.… read more “Dinner with Friends”
I am back in Los Angeles now.
Climbed Mount Si again today with Adam Leong. First time climbing it in the winter. Temperatures were well below freezing, especially close to the top. Probably about 15 degrees. I wore a shirt and two hoodies, jeans and a pair of shorts underneath, but I was still cold. The little birds up at the top were really hungry and a whole crew of them ate out of our hands.… read more “Mount Si Take #6”
I did some work and added some features to this site:
A man killed 4 Lakewood cops yesterday and apparently tried to hide out at his house in Leschi afterwards, just a few blocks away from Taras house. Police surrounded the house and raided it, but the killer wasn’t there. They are currently searching the surrounding area.
Frida (taras dog) and I are hiding out under the bed covers lol.… read more “Cop Killer May Be Blocks Away”
As a fresh LA transplant, I have discovered Seattles traffic is much worse than the traffic in LA. Los Angeles is just a much larger city so it still takes longer to get somewhere. But to travel 2 miles through Seattle takes two or three times as long as travelling 2 miles in LA does.
Check out the crazy video below of a kite surfer jumping a pier. Looks incredibly dangerous, but kind of makes me want to take up the sport. Look how high he goes!
Fascinating video on what to do with enemy combatants.

A large group of my friends and I are going to Las Vegas for New Years Eve. We will be staying at the Sahara on December 31st and January 1st. Las Vegas is a somewhat creepy city- basically a giant garish bar- but that is exactly why it will be a super fun place to be on New Years Eve.… read more “Las Vegas for New Years Eve!”
I read the book Blindside by Michael Lewis on the plane ride from Los Angeles to Seattle today. Blindside is the real life tale of Michael Oher coming up out of poverty in Memphis to become a big time NFL left tackle. I thought the book was fairly well-written and whipped through it quickly. The author Michael Lewis was too close to his subject matter though and he tried to cram his worldview down the readers necks.… read more “Blindside Book Review”
