New Work Schedule

30Jun08

I have a new schedule at work, a schedule that just might force me to become a morning person.
By nature I am a night owl. I like to stay up late. If I have to see a sunrise I prefer to do so before bed rather than just as I wake up. I love […]

I really appreciate the fact that God chose to place me in the 21st century in a country with a high rate of broadband proliferation. Tonight, I had the pleasure of chatting with friends across town (Issaquah, Fairwood), across the country (Colorado) and across the world (Japan).

Epic Lego Combat

28Jun08

This being Saturday, I was free to enjoy the day with my family rather than slave away at work. Everyone went down to Kent Station and we watched the cheap, morning showing of Kung Fu Panda. As I expected the movie was entertaining but not enthralling. After the movie, the Emily and Arita went to […]

Olive Garden

25Jun08

Today, I took my sisters out to the Olive Garden. I had promised them a long time ago that I would but, as is too often the case with me, it took me awhile to get around to it.
Like most lunch patrons we ordered the all-you-can-eat Soup, Salad and Breadsticks. It’s amazing how much […]

I Need Help

24Jun08

Yesterday, I tried to dissect my last week and figure out why I was able to get so little accomplished. It didn’t take much reflection to recognize that my problem is that I spend way too much time on the internet.
My solution was to turn off my computer and not turn it back on again […]

Free Rice Challenge

I mentioned this site awhile back but thought it’d be fun to turn it into a challenge. I know my readers are pretty smart, lets see who can log the top score.

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough!

21Jun08

Mount Si After Action Report:
The ascent up the mountain was very slow, but a good time was had by all. We had a large turnout. Justin, Josh, Nat, Aaron, Melissa, Emily, Arita and I met up at the trail head around 2:00, ate a quick lunch and started up about 2:30. The last person struggled […]

If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keep walking, keep advancing.

Mount Si

20Jun08

Trebonte has once again organized an expedition to Mount Si. We’ll be meeting up at 1 pm to begin the steep ascent. The trail climbs 3500 ft in about four miles, an approximate average grade of 17%. Round trip, it will be about an eight mile hike.
Our last visit nearly ended in the gruesome deaths […]

Happy

19Jun08

I am delighted to have my sister, Emily, home. Since she arrived back on Sunday, we are living under the same roof for the first time in a year. We have always been very close and it is so good to be able to spend time together again.
Since Sunday, we’ve been busy catching up. Last […]
