Let me preface this entry by saying that the author of this book, Glenn Rockowitz, is a co-worker of mine. Now let me also say that he works in our Seattle office, and we have never met, talked and I am pretty sure he doesn’t know I exist. But through some co-workers, I heard that [...]
I oftentimes get asked the following question:
How can you be so ridiculously good looking, romantic, intelligent, charming and yet you’re not constantly surrounded by women?
While part of that answer undoubtedly has to do with racial discrimination (people never let me forget that I am Caucasian German – much like Barack Obama I would probably get [...]
Despite my Saturday night encounter with the local hip hop scene, I know little to nothing about hip hop or rap for that matter. Actually, I couldn’t tell you the difference between the two? Is there a difference?
But I just got done watching the Notorious B.I.G movie and it is darn good. I love stories [...]
These kind of “live without” posts are somewhat hypocritical coming from me, since I wasn’t able to live without a cell phone, burritos or Jen. But this one is for real. I live without cable and I am loving it. Why? The Netflix Roku box. It plays over 12,000 different tv shows and movies straight [...]
I just got done watching, Body of Lies. Yes, I know, I meant to stop going to the movies but I am on the road. The story is about an undercover CIA agent who (along with his US-based CIA colleague – Russel Crowe) is struggling to effectively navigate the war on terror. Anyways, it’s a [...]
On Saturday, Jen and I went to an event called Plate & Pitchfork together with our friends Ben and Maria. What is Plate & Pitchfork?
This is the single best Mexican restaurant where my mother could be the chef. Note to readers, my mother is German and can’t cook.
Jen and I went to Acapulco’s Gold on Friday night due to the good reviews on Yelp.com – all of which must have been written by people under the influence [...]
Jen, her parents and I went and saw the play Sometimes a Great Notion at the Gerding Theatre tonight. Opening day isn’t until Friday, so we got to pay little man’s prices. Lesson #1. It’s never a bad idea to go (and invite others) to the theatre when you can choose the best seats [...]
Jen and I spent the weekend in Seattle with Jerry and Gail. Yeah I know…couples weekend, no big deal. This will be followed by a two days of holiday time with Jen’s family. That is a big deal. Anyways, last night we watched a pretty amazing movie called Strike. Well, I watched it. Everybody else [...]
On Friday night, Jen and I had the fortune of dining at one of downtown Portland’s soon to be finest restaurants. It’s called RPalate, and was founded by a veteran chef, a recent culinary school graduate and a waiter unlike no other I’ve ever met in my life.
The restaurant was recommended to me by my [...]
