Natural air conditioner

Today is Thursday, but it felt like Friday for me because I am taking tomorrow off from work! The first part will be restful, but then its go time…  Another good day at work. I was able to mow the lawn this evening and was about to put weed and feed on the lawn, but…

Miami Heat!

Miami Heat emerged victorious today in Dallas! I wanted Miami to win really bad. While I definitely noted there team cohesiveness and potential in my blog starting with the New Jersey series, I doubted them after dropping the first two in Dallas. Their unprecedented comeback, winning four games in a row, is a great outcome….

Sleepy…

I did not sleep well last night and as a result I have a headache right now. I am definitely tired so I am going to hit the sack pretty soon. Work was good and it was nice to rest at home this evening and take a walk with Pepe. Sorry, no photographs today, maybe…

A trip to my favorite stores!

Among other things today, I took a "trip" to shop at Trader Joe's and Costco – two of my favorite retail locations and all in the same day! We bought the normal things in both stores, so nothing special. Check out this shot of the garden from yesterday – I call it "Paradise in Sammamish."…

Bench Press WR!!

My mom has done it again! Defying the aging process, she continues to improve her benching world record and raise the "bar" for the competition and herself. My mom lifted 203.7 pounds today, the first time she had officially lifted over the 200 pound barrier (in practice she has done over 220). She broke her…

TGIF

It’s Friday!!! However, I am probably not going to do anything fun because I am tired. Therefore, I will probably be sound asleep by 11 pm (after Seinfeld that is 🙂  Today was another good day on the job with interesting legal work and opportunities to learn new things. The bus this afternoon was 30…

Routine

Another routine day with work and a nice walk with Pepe and my mom. I squeezed in a good workout at Klahanie too working the back muscles today. The rest of the evening was spent watching the NBA finals.   NBA: The Miami Heat have evened the series up with the Dallas Mavericks at two…

Busy

Another good day at work with an interesting brown bag lunch talk about the history of deceptive cigarrette advertising with the focus on flase health claims. After work, I stopped by the library to pick up some things and came then came home. Dinner, a walk with Pepe, and now it's almost time to go…

Another typical day…

Work was good today as usual; the meet-and-greet with attorneys was fun. I cam home and made some tasty tofu and then I went on a walk around the neighborhood with my mom and Pepe. My little chihuahua moves his legs so fast – he pushes the pace the entire way! After the walk, I…

View from Eldorado Peak

This photo is from a trip last July to the Eldorado Ice Cap in North Cascades National Park. The rugged ridge with rock and snow ribs above Moraine Lake connects Mount Torment and Forbidden Peak and is known as the Torment-Forbidden Traverse. The route features over a mile of knife-edge ridge walking that is super…
