I’ve had enough of this Seattle winter… enough… I’m going to where its warm, I’ll send a postcard.

I’ve linked to Seth Godin before, and I have one of his books sitting on my bedside stand wating to be read, but this post caught me as being truthy.
The culture of dissatisfaction
Seth is right… its all about relationships… not about ever evolving products and goods. I still shudder when I think that my new […]

I am envious of people who own their own businesses and take the initiative to become the man.
This week, my good friend Tall Tom Hergert is taking a big step forward in his career, and becoming the first full-time employee at Tallzag Auctions.
He posted the news to his blog a couple of weeks […]

How about something white this week.
Vin du Lac - 2003 Pinot Gris
According to them: Pinot Gris is quickly rising to superstar status due to its fruity nose and character, easy approachability, medium body. Vin du Lac Pinot Gris does not disappoint. You’ll marvel at the forward, yet complex fruit nose and easy […]

I don’t blog very much about work, because I feel like keeping work and the blog separate might be a good idea… kind of like the separation of church and state. The two might play nice with each other, but then again… you might be playing with fire.
At any rate, today was an interesting […]

Best sandwiches in Seattle… easy. Check out their site. I’ve eaten there about 5 times, and it’s never disappointed. I go with “the bandit” every time. mmmm, beef brisquet and bbq sauce with cheddar cheese.
 

I think I have discovered my new favorite cheese - brrreeeport.
I think they make it in Redmond.

I’ve been waiting for a moment during the Torino Olympics to blog about, and I just finally watched it. Enough pair skating, enough talk of Bode, enough talk about Kwan, enough of Apallo, enough snowboarding… and tonight, finally a great Olympic performance by Ted Ligety of Park City, UT to win the mens […]

Tonight Liz and I are drinking a 2001 Terra Blanca Syrah. It’s quite good and we found at Pete’s Wine Shop in Bellevue for nearly half off - I love a good deal. Regular price is slightly over $20 and it’s on sale for $11.99. This wine is from the Red Mountain […]

The sun is actually out in Seattle today, so I’m thinking I’m gonig to stock up on Vitamin D for the next three months!
Check out the results of this study - Midday sun holds the key to good health
“Our calculations have found that the best time to be out in the sun if you want […]

Is there a more beautiful mountainous region in the world than the Alps? Ryan went and had fun in the snow in France last weekend, check out his pictures here.

Winning is not a sometimes thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
There is no room for second place. There is only one place in […]

I think I actually came close to picking the score of the Super Bowl correctly.
First quarter- Touchdown Darryl Jackson - Hawks 7, Steelers 0
Second quarter - Touchdown Roethlisberger - Hawks 7, Steelers 7
Second quarter - Long field goal by Josh Brown - Hawks 10, Steelers 7
Third quarter - Touchdown Willie Parker - Hawks 10, […]

Hawks 27
Steelers 21

Kelly’s Revenge Shiraz 2003
This is a budget pick, and can be had for around $7 or $8 and is really very good. I tasted it last weekend for the first time at a tasting, and picked up a bottle.
The description according to Kelly (I wish I could write about wine like this… soon!) - […]
