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”
Below is the college football bowl schedule, along with my predictions for who will win each game. Ones not highlighted are ones I have no prediction for. I am willing to take accept friendly wagers (such as lunch), especially on the national championship game. Bolded teams are my predicted winners.

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.
Once again, the top two teams in the Bowl Championship Series have been beaten. This means that Ohio State most likely will play for another championship against a two-loss team.

A great man has passed away and everyone needs to remember his incredible feats. 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”
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”

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.
