So it’s been practically a month since my last post. Why not, though? It’s not as if anyone reads this nonsense.

That said, I’ll go ahead and fill you in on a couple things that have gone on or are on the horizon for myself and my family.

First, I went to Tahoe at the end of July to attend the wedding of my old friend, Craig to his beautiful bride Kathy. I’d never been to Tahoe and, even if the event had been an utter disaster and unfun, I’d at least have to them them for inviting me so that I could experience such a beautiful place as Lake Tahoe & Squaw Valley. However, it was no bust. I stayed with my good friends, Modi & Randi (whom I just don’t see often enough) and we had a wonderful time.

Kathy & Craig: So in love that they won’t notice the stolen bandwidth…

Next, after a brief stint back at home, it was off to Seattle for… work.

That’s not as bad as it sounds, I promise. First, I left temperatures in Virginia of upper 90s and landed in the mid 70s. Second, Seattle is a great town with great food and beer and lots to do.

Here’s the list of what I did when I wasn’t working:

• Saw the Yard Dogs Road Show at The Triple Door (an absolutely beautiful and perfect venue for such a show.)

Click here for pics from the actual performance.

• Went to Safeco Field and watched the Mariners lose to the Twins. The Sushi, garlic fries & 7th row seats were terrific, though.

• Ate & Drank at Pike Brewing Co. at the historic Pike’s Market.
• Went to the EMP & the Space Needle (at sunset.) Both were awesome.

As for what’s on the horizon…

That’ll have to come in the next post. Here’s a hint: Wilco.
