Jason, Sarah and I went to Maneki for dinner tonight. They’re going back to North Carolina next weekend and we wanted to grab one last farewell meal. The food was excellent, although I definitely ate a bit too much. With interns like Jason returning to school and the weather turning, summer really is coming to [...]

A group of us went with OutVentures this weekend to raft the middle White Salmon River. It’s near the Oregon-Washington border, a ways east of Portland.
Don, David and I drove down on Friday night after work. We camped at Memaloose State Park in Oregon. We arrived pretty late, but set up camp and sat around [...]

A friend of mine had a BBQ picnic out in Ballard at Golden Gardens Park this afternoon. After grabbing brunch with Sarah and Jason at Charley’s (middling food, but it’s close and they’ll seat you right away), I dropped by the farmer’s market to pick up some cherries to bring (it’s the end of the [...]

Hmmm… Typically, I get between 40 and 100 views a day on my Flickr site. On July 18th, I got nearly 300 which was a huge spike at the time. For reasons which are still unknown to me, I got 1366 views yesterday (Monday 8/11). Maybe it’s a mistake or maybe the pattern will show [...]

Faustrecht der Freiheit translates literally as ‘Fistright of Freedom’ which frankly sounds a heck of a lot cooler than ‘Fox and his Friends’. Leo glosses it as ‘law of the jungle’ and ‘right of force’. Oh well, I [...]

Jason, Sarah, Sarah’s brother Sean (visiting from out of town) and I went out to the Olympic Peninsula this weekend to see Olympic National Park. We took the ferry over on Friday afternoon and spent two nights camping at the Heart O’ the Hills campground in the park. I was worried about being able to [...]

Jason, Sarah, her brother Sean (who’s visiting from out of town this week), Nikunj, Sachin and I went to Magnuson Park to see Greenstage’s production of Hamlet outdoors this evening. The weather was perfect and it was a great performance of what’s probably the most widely performed English language play. They still have a bunch [...]

Summer is such a busy time! I’ve got a few minutes before heading off to bed, so I’ll recap what I’ve been up to lately.
Last weekend, I went to Vancouver, BC for the weekend. It was Vancouver Pride, but mostly I just went to visit some friends. It was a fun time, but somehow I [...]
