I didn’t realize that allergy season hit Seattle so early in the Spring, but clearly it has based on how stuffed up my head feels. The culprit is the evil Cherry tree (see picture to the right). For the past two days, I just have not been feeling normal and I wanted to have a…
I have a lot of respect for Bobby Knight’s coaching ability. No matter what you think about his coaching style and techniques, it is nearly impossible to deny that his style is successful for people that choose to play for him. His teams (for the most part) win. That said, being a coaching legend doesn’t…
Recently, I was turned on to Weeds by a friend who recommended it as a must-rent the next time I was at Blockbuster. Well, last weekend, I took her advice and rented the entire first season (two DVDs) and watched the entire season in two sittings. I was seriously addicted. I would describe it as…
Since I used to work at Yahoo!, I still have a Yahoo! email address but I only check it once a week or so. That being said, when I checked my email last night I had nine new emails and four of them were from Barack Obama. Can you say spam? I actually really like…

Now that the writer strike is over, the big question that I want to know is: How long will it take to get the reruns off the TV and get back to some new programming? Do you think that the writers have been actually doing some writing during the strike and as a result there…
Last night, my real estate agent and I sat down and made a formal offer on a condo on the North side of the Lower Queen Anne area of Seattle. You can see the picture of the building below. I have to say that I am very excited about this place. While there are a…
I’m not a huge TV person (although I do have my favorites that I DVR and watch religiously), but I’ve definitely become a skeptic when it comes to the current crop of "reality shows" on TV these days. Thus, when a good friend of mine told me about the Dirty Jobs TV show the other…
