Tonight is the semi-final playoff game for the Screamin’ Eagles. In the several seasons I have been on the team, we have never made it past the semi-finals, though we get to that game regularly. Our flag football team has had a decent season, but we picked up a former pro basketball player who is now our star and haven’t lost when he plays.… read more “Flag Football Playoff Game Tonight”

OCB: Factoria Old Country Buffet
Today was “Seafood Friday” at the Old Country Buffet in Factoria, so B and Sae and I hit it up. “Seafood Friday” meant that they were serving clam chowder AND “Baked Fish”. No specification on what exactly the “Baked Fish” was, but my guess is herring.

Bellevue’s Lincoln Square
Used to going out to “areas” of town to find bars like Capitol Hill, Fremont or Belltown, Nick and I tried to do the same thing in Bellevue. After driving around looking for awhile (and making a side trip through the millionaire mansions on Medina), we ended up at Lincoln Square.

Factoria WA Structural Fire
Right now there is a big structural fire about a block from my building in Factoria, WA. All of the office peons are watching it out of our 4th floor window
