Happy New Year

Snow for Christmas!

Merry Christmas Headed to Houston. Pics to follow.

Oh, and I mastered a rip stik. All the cool kids can ride them.

The Meat President

So we go to the MSFT Christmas party. The pre-party dinner was @ the Metropolitan Grill in downtown. Nice place. Best place in Seattle for Steak. I decide I'm gonna order the big boy of the selection. 50 ounces of bone in Rib Eye. It came on it's own platter, fit for a king!

There were some table skeptics, however I proved them wrong by completely devouring the steak and I also wiped out the potato, AND a spinach salad before! Wait staff shook my hand. Head waiter said it was impressive. More impressive? I ate about 10 desserts @ the Xmas party 1 hour later.

HOWEVER, I AM NOT READY FOR THIS...

No 5 Hour Drive

Turkey day was so excellent. Me, Mrs Dirtbagger, and Dirtbagger's Mom. No 5 hour drive to Spokane. No horrible weather. OK, it was raining, hard but no problem with that shit.

Nearing Easter

As we get near Easter, it is easy to remind myself my "born again" status. My 3 year anniversary is June 10th. Wow, how blessed am I? If I think about it, I will cry.

Valentine's Day

Happy Billy Ray Valentine.

Just like all these people waiting to see Puxataney Phil, I can hardly contain my excrement. Wow.

Xmas is Over

Hmmm....Why is it, I seem to enjoy Christmas less and less? Is it because it now starts in October and with post Christmas sales runs until January 15th? We stuck to a budget this year, and frankly didn't spend hardly anything on each other? Does that make me a bad Santa?

Happy New Year

That is all I got. Happy New Year.

Happy Birthday Fish Sauce!

My pride and joy, and the best dog in the world, just turned 7 years old. Kuri, aka, Kur-Dog, aka Missy, aka Fish Sauce, aka Woo Magoo, aka Furry Kuri, aka Diver Doodle the underwater Poodle, aka Chessa-dork, aka Big Dog. This photo was taken @ Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

This is the "you are NOT taking my toy" look.

This is the baby when she was just 8 weeks old. They grow up SO fast!

Xmas post

This is Kuri and I @ my mom's house in December.

Family Fun
