So the other night I’m getting my mail, and become instantly excited when I see three separate Netflix packets arrive. I share the account with my roommate, and he gets the emails when new discs ship, so I’m never entirely aware of what we have coming in the mail. My excitement […]

Laugh if you will, but I’m always a little excited to get back to the Inland Empire. It’s going to be kinda hot though…. 99 degrees!
By the way, Flickr is awesome! I can always find great pics of exactly what I am looking for. Check it out - […]

This past weekend I ventured out to Lopez Island of the San Juan Islands with three good friends. We woke up way too early on Saturday morning with three bikes, one tent, some backpacks, and no solid plans. It was one of those weekends where everything works out so perfectly that you just keep waiting […]

My roomate Aaron and I finished up watching the first season of 24, Fox’ emmy award winning television show, on Friday night. Wow! We watched all 24 episodes in about two weeks thanks to the power of Netflix. Netflix is one of those things you don’t know how you lived without once you have it.
24 […]

I caught a great show last night at Chop Suey: Tullycraft, Math and Physics Club, and The Salteens. I’ve seen MAPC before, and have met the band through a friend. They were fun to listen to as usual, and just released a second EP. I am really looking forward to a full length album! Tullycraft […]

Mykonos, in the Greek islands. I’ve never been, but I’ve heard it’s quite choice!

From Bud Withers (by far the best sports journalist in the NW) of the Seattle Times:
Sixteen months ago, over breakfast at a retro diner on the edge of the Gonzaga campus, he said what he wanted out of his first pro paycheck was a Cadillac Escalade with “24-inch rims and spinners.”Today, what he really wants […]

Ronny is going in for surgery on his heart tomorrow. I love what Andy Katz has to say in this article on ESPN.com today.
“We’re an extension of [Turiaf’s] family and we’re going to be there with him,” Few said.
I think it says it all about how tight the Gonzaga family is. Thanks […]

According to Joel Rushing such as thing exists in Texas (where else?). Apparently a diner owner in Snook, Texas by the name of Frank Sodolak came up with the idea. He thinks he is onto something and can be quoted saying, “I ain’t never heard of it anywhere else.”

Even though today is Tuesday, it feels like a really tough Monday. I spent the weekend at Lake Chelan swimming, biking, and running a triathlon, hanging out with friends on the boat, playing poker, wakeboarding, winetasting, barbequing, and living it up! It’s really tough to be back at work today…. I’d just rather […]

I doubt it. After an impressive run in the Alps today Lance regained the Yellow Jersey.I think he will power on to his 7th straight Tour de France victory, and not relinquish the lead again. In doing so he’ll secure his spot as the standard by which all great athletes of […]

Jason Bay, former Gonzaga Bulldog, will play in his first All Star game this week, and will be a contestant in the homerun derby this evening. I had a class with him while at Gonzaga, I think it was Religion 201 something or another with good ole Father Nigro.
Go Jason, hit some homers tonight!

Ronny Turiaf got some good press in the LA Times today. I would love to see him be “this guy” for the Lakers. In the 100+ games I witnessed him play in a Gonzaga uniform he is most definitely a junkyard dog.

It seems summer league coach Kurt […]
