San Francisco Bushman

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

There's a hilarious phenomenon near Fishermen's Wharf in San Francisco - the Bushman. A bum (I assume he's a bum) has become famous for hiding behind eucalyptus branches and scaring tourists as they walk by. It's funny how many people do not notice a man crouched behind two ...

Back Home

Codi and I spent a few days with family in the SFO area. On our way home, we were treated to a gorgeous, rainy Oregon sunset. (Click for larger image.)Mt. Shasta was nice, too!

Cheers to Coffee People!

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

I've been totally used to going into Starbucks whenever I need Internet access while on the town. Of course, I 've also been used to paying $20/mo for the T-Mobile hotspot access found at Starbucks. Well, those days are gone! Coffee People offers really good coffee and ...

Apple & Nike to My Rescue!

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

I have been looking for any way possible to force myself to go out and run. We've got gorgeous hills and trails to run on all over the place, but I find myself glued to the computer and unable to find inspiration to get my cardio. Along comes ...

Good Vineyard Progress

Friday, May 19th, 2006

More Oahu Pics

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

Codi and I headed out from the Pali Highway area of Honolulu and drove to North Shore and Waimea Falls Park. On the way to Waimea, we stopped at the Dole plantation for our one and only "touristy" moment on Oahu. Fresh pineapple is sooo good. Wowow.Nice view ...

It’s Official! We’re married!!

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

Yesterday, Codi and I got married on Lanikai beach on the island of Oahu. It was a gorgeous day - tropical weather with a nice, steady breeze. The ceremony was awesome - just the two of us (although there were quite a number of onlookers from the beach). ...

Evil… Eeeeeeveeeeel…

Monday, May 8th, 2006

Those who know me well are aware of the fact that I have listed Five Evils in this world. On Sunday, I was confronted with one of those evils - the Prime Evil itself; the P**dle. It was an unpleasant confrontation, but I survived unscathed. I was ...
