Just before I left for vacation I had the pleasure of sharing a tasty brunch with Paul Broeker of Santa Barbara Wine Blog and his family. I feel bad that I got caught up with visions of white caps and forgot to post a little something, especially after his very sweet post about our […]

So, you know I’ve been barely subsisting as far as posting goes.
Lo Siento. Truly. But after a hard day at the pool, then the beach, you know how it goes. But I am keeping up on email, and this little ditty from my friend Meghan made me almost go ca ca:
And as for […]

Soooo……should I admit that I just spent the last 2 hours in a bar downing margaritas and watching the Seahawks game on satellite? Probly not. I´m not even a football fan. I guess when you´re isolated from all television and news outlets you lower your expectations. I can talk football, however.
Sure took coach Holmgren long […]

Every where you go……
Dear Filthy Stinkin Hippie,
Wait, let’s not start out on the wrong foot.
Dearest Earth brother or sister,
I know I have mercilously assailed your lifestyle choice repeatedly in the past. But now, as I am older, I want to understand you. Truly. You are a mystery to me. So I will start out by […]

Oh, did I tell you I’m in Mexico? A piqueno village an undislcosed distance from Puerto Vallarta. And to all those in uncharacteristically soggy Seattle right now, goddamn it’s sunny and warm down here. I’m writing this in the town’s realtor/tortilleria/internet cafe. God, I love Mexico.
I got two words o’ the day for you: FOOD […]

OK, I don’t normally watch anything on Fox (does this young curmudgeon really need to explain why?). But principles are hard, and 24 kicks ass. This year they have hobbits, and my favorite character–the socially maladjusted, but whip smart Chloe, gets more air time.
I TiVoed the Golden Globes last night, too, and breezed through […]

So Beau over at Basic Juice has been doing this wine and art pairing, pretty cool. (Thanks again for my amazon.com prize. It was a tough choice, books or 40’s). So I saw this most amazingly, achingly, perfectly haunting and composed picture worth at least 3000 extra words on boingboing.net:

And I thought, what song goes […]

I have a love hate relationship with “foodie” mags like Food & Wine. I flip through them like you would a fashion rag or an issue of US Magazine at the airport. Flip, flip, flip, flip. Like popcorn. A little blurb on my new toothpaste catches my eye…..and so does the little ditty next to […]

OK, so there’s this guy….that owns my yoga studio?…and he doesn’t actually do the yoga…why? Why? WHY!
random cocktail fodder fo you…….

It’s Monday, and I feel like doing some pimpin’. I get tons of press releases and invites that ignite absolutely zero to negative passion in my salivary glands. But this little gem is too good not to share with any and all of the Seattlites who read this blog.
This month, Rover’s chef and owner […]
