Morah and I went to a wine tasting tonight that the wine steward at our grocery store told us about (is that the kind of thing that only happens in Spokane?). I tried a little over a dozen wines, and best of all, I won a bottle of wine! Both Graham (the wine steward) and…

Morah and I had our house warming party on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it! To those who weren’t able to make it, you missed out on some awesome Wii action, which we projected onto one of the downstairs walls. Let me tell you, when it comes to playing the Wii,…

A couple of Saturdays ago, Morah and I went to The Torch Lounge in Coeur d’Alene with a friend to see a friend of his friend dance. She had been asking him to come for months, and since it was her last night working there, he decided to go before he never had the chance…

While Morah and I were raking leaves last weekend, we were both listening to our iPods. The thought occurred to me that although there are billions of people and billions of songs, there’s a small but real chance that you and another person are listening to the exact same song at the exact same time…

Morah and I have a lot of leaves. Below is a before-and-after picture of our backyard last weekend. We filled 15 bags. Last night, we raked the front yard and filled about 10 more. A few weeks ago, Mike and I filled probably about 5 or 6. This evening, Morah and I raked the backyard…

Barack Obama is the 44th president of the United States of America, even though I didn’t vote for him (I didn’t vote for McCain either). I’m too tired to write my full blog entry about voting today, but I am definitely pleased that my fellow Punahou alumnus has so thoroughly paved a path to the…

Some people have been asking me what gifts they should get for Morah and I. We’re very simple to shop for this year — just buy us gift cards for house-related stuff. Stores like Home Depot and Bed Bath & Beyond are perfect choices for us. And, of course, you can’t go wrong with cash.

At work, the whole I.T. department dressed up as the gang from Scooby Doo (and one villain). Here’s the result.

With everything that has been going on in my life lately, it’s not a giant mystery that I haven’t had much time to write many blog posts. I don’t like it when I write back to back Friday Fundays, so in an attempt to get back into writing, I’m going to try to write a…
