Yesterday I ran the Seattle half marathon with my good friend Jerry. It was a lot of fun, and we came within 5 minutes of Jerry’s goal of running it in 2 hours. It might have been my un-aerodynamic beard or Jerry’s dislike of hills that kept us from achieving that mark.

filming surgeries
by mario on 08. Jul, 2006 in portland, seattle
Last week, I was in Seattle for two days to film a hair transplantation procedure. When I first started my new job (and with that our new media unit), I had to begin from scratch and pitched a lot of different ideas to our clients. Now that our clients have signed off on some of [...]

by mario on 06. Jul, 2006 in portland, seattle
I’m about to jump on the train and head back to Portland. I really need to write some blog entries when I get back. Lots of stories to tell.
Went van camping on the Oregon coast
Trip to Seattle
Last but not least, I’ve been filming a hair restoration procedure for the past two days – [...]
the male triathlete
by mario on 16. Mar, 2004 in seattle
So I am now thinking about running a triathlon. The Los Angeles Triathlon in September. Olympic style. It’s a professional triathlon and it’s my goal to finish the darn thing. There are different levels of triathlons and I am going to keep at the Olympic one. Right under the Ironmen and right above the Sprint [...]
happy st pats day
by mario on 15. Mar, 2004 in seattle
I woke up at 6am this morning to celebrate an irish holiday. St. Patrick’s day. Natilee, Jerry and I had signed up for the local St. Pats day 5k race. We met at Jerry’s at 7am, as he had invited us over for a pre- race breakfast. The race really didn’t start until 9am, but [...]

big win
by mario on 12. Mar, 2004 in seattle
In the past two weeks, my company has been able to garner two big wins. Since I am responsible for new business, this will be the stuff that goes on my resume. Today we won everyone’s favorite ice cream/hamburger joint account. Think blizzard. It rhymes with HQ.
Too bad I have another big pitch deadline awaiting [...]
beautiful mind
by mario on 11. Mar, 2004 in seattle
Natilee and I went and worked out together after work. Then we continued the new and healthy lifestyle by simply barbecuing a couple of steaks and bell peppers. It doesn’t matter how healthy the things are I eat, it won’t do me any good if I eat three times the recommended amount.
Now we are watching [...]
hypocrite
by mario on 10. Mar, 2004 in seattle
I have been really busy at work. That can make it really hard to write anything meaningful into the blog at night. If I’d just write what I did all day, then you would get the same entry M-F. But no…since editorial excellence is the blog’s main focus, I won’t let that happen. Here [...]
