2010 in review
I intended to do a post about this in early January… oh well, here it is. The big news for the year was getting married and becoming a dad. I rang in 2010 with Pepper at Kito’s Kave and finished out the year in the same place although we were married and I was being …
Snowshoeing up Raven’
On Sunday we woke to quite a bit of fresh snow. We decided to rent snowshoes and go for a hike. We didn’t make it too far up Raven’s trail because we were having to “break trail” which is pretty tiring when you sink down up to 8 inches into the snow but we got …
Hawt tubbin’ and whine
The day before Valentine’s Day was just too perfect for a soak in the hot tub. We grabbed a bottle of wine while snowflakes were falling and made the dash through the carport. Pepper has been good about getting us to use it more often. It seems like a waste to have it at temperature …
Organizing the kitchen drawer
One of the tenants of the Game On Diet is to take on a new good habit. For this round my habit is to organize one thing for at least 30 minutes each day. I decided to organize the kitchen drawer that has most of the miscellaneous cooking and serving utensils in it. Sometimes I …
One month of fitness
Today marks one month of a concerted effort to eat better, drink bad things less, drink more water, exercise, sleep adequately… And there are definite results. Here’s a graph of my weight. I dropped 11.5 pounds in 4 weeks. I have rebounded a little in the last few days. But weight isn’t the best measure …
Jimmy Stuber’s Starling Recipes
Pepper brought home a fun book from the Salvation Army today. It is “Favorite Recipes of Famous Outdoorsmen” published by the American Gas Machine Company in 1949. It seems to be a recipe book with ads for the various outdoor equipment that the company sells. The book is sorted by the “famous outdoorsmen” and here …
Daydreaming about Vietnam
In the late fall of 2007 I went to Vietnam for Seth’s wedding. We only got to see the southern part of the country (and Cambodia) though. It was really cool to have dinner in one of Khan’s relative’s home the first night. And after our stint through Cambodia we were back in the My …
February plans
Next month is already looking busy… I’ll fly to Juneau on the first for a SEAtrails meeting and fly back the next day. Which we all know is Groundhog’s Day. Which is a HUGE party in Petersburg. (Just kidding.) Then on Sunday the 6th we’ll be celebrating three things. The end of 4 weeks of …
Family fun
We’ve done a lot of stuff with Rachel and her kids (Courtney, Ruby, and Gage) over the past six months. They have played in Jordan’s tree fort, come over for tacos, home made pizzas, and many other meals, played plenty of wii games, gone sledding, had snowball fights, and played games and with Lego. Last …
Game On
I’m doing a diet. I’ve tried a few before. But this one is different. It’s a group thing and is cooperative and competitive. It’s the Game On diet. First off – if you’re thinking I don’t need to be on a diet – thank you. But you’re wrong. I actually went to the clinic and …
