Welcome. Here, lovingly crafted for your enjoyment (or dismissal), I present my blue mood towards my favorite sports teams. This also is a tell-tale sign that the end of 2011 is nigh, and I could be writing a bunch of end-of-year reviews. Or something. May be time for you to go on vacation. I am. 2011 was a blue year. Very blue [...]

Food Porn Tackles Thailand
Posted in Food, Photos, Travel, Wine/Beer, tagged Bangkok, baseball, Delaware, Food Porn, Thailand on July 1, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Last year, I shared my poor attempt at food photography (in The Joy of Food Porn). Well, having no desire to quit while I was ahead (and frankly having no filters at all), I’ve congregated another crude and carelessly constructed collection of food porn. I use the term ‘food porn’ because I have a sneaking suspicion more [...]

Welcome to the beginning of another annual Christmas letter. This is like the fifth in a row. Sorry about that. There is still time to avoid any unnecessary reading of said letter. Point your curser to the ‘X’ button above, click it firmly and then go do something productive. Still here? Hmmm, your choice…so take [...]
2010: Full of Sound and Fury, Signifying Nothing
Posted in Sports, tagged baseball, Chelsea, D.C., Football, Seattle, Seattle Mariners, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Sounders FC, Soccer, Washington Huskies on December 9, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Welcome to, what has apparently become, my annual wrap-up on my favorite sports teams. I am a victim of routine, so expect to be liberally doused with many end of year lists over the next few weeks. 2010 can be categorized as ‘another’ year for Seattle sports. No riot-in-the-streets championships (although one oh-ok-here’s-a-high-five championship). No plane crashes [...]
Foremost Things That Are So Necessary

I’ve written about a few bad things lately (Foremost Things That Are So Unnecessary and Things That Rub Me Wrong), so now a little love for the good things. (American) Football season - regardless of what you call it (gridiron does have a nice ring), there are few things that have a more a passionate following than college and professional football. Go Huskies! [...]

Let’s be clear, this letter is all about me, me, me. There’s no need to deny it or pretend otherwise. This is my chance to brag about what I’ve done, what I know, and how awesome I truly am. It’s where I yell “LOOK MA!” as I hit that bulging hornet’s nest with a big [...]
2009: A Better Year

Last year I shat out a blog about the complete ineptitude of Seattle sports teams (see 2008: The Worst Year Ever). It came out sideways and it hurt. This year, I’m happy to report, has been a bit rosier. Not brilliant, mind you, but definitely encouraging going into 2010. Let’s see what happened: Seattle SuperSonics (NBA – [...]
Ten Things I Hate More Than You

Yes, I do mean you! Today we focus on the negative and how I hate these things more than you do. If that claim angers you in any way, don’t keep it bottled up. Blog it out! I hate… The New York Yankees in the playoffs – somebody please beat them like a red-headed step-child already. Sean [...]

Part 3 of 3 This, luckily for you, is the final entry in my road trip trilogy of terror. Finally, we get to the root cause of why I roadtripped to begin with…baseball! Hold on for a short treatise on the highs and lows of each Major League stadium I sauntered through like a deluded dignitary. I suggest you pause now to get a hotdog [...]
The Baseball Project

As I’ve told anyone that will listen (and even those that won’t), I have goal to see a baseball game in every Major League Ballpark in North America. Why? Because I can. It’s not a goal I can do in a year or even two, but it will build over time. As long as I go [...]
