about me
I am fascinated by the world. Disappointed knowing we only have one pass through. Excited by the endless possibilities it offers.

I have a tough time staying with any one hobby or situation for long. Some of the things I am best at I have given up due to boredom. I enjoy the initial thrill of any project but am quick to move on if it turns monotonous. I enjoy spending hours upon hours putting together an event if it will bring people together. If the results are positive and see people stepping outside their normal personas, even if just for a few hours, then I quickly forget the time and energy it took to put it together and I start dreaming of the next event.

Another quirk of mine is that I want to know a little bit about everything. Not become an expert, but at least be educated in all the details of life and the things that go on around us. Every person in the world has a story to tell, I really want to hear as many as I can.

Thanks to all that made it out for pretty much our first hash event. For those that were wondering how it went here are my thoughts.

We showed up early down at the fountain on the grove and had a total of about 9 of us make it. Being there on time pretty much meant being real early as we seemed to outnumber the other clusters of existing hashers that were milling around. After a few minutes a coupe of the regulars strolled up and made some conversation and were eager to tell us about ho... read more

I really don't write much about my job because most of the time it is really quite boring. We literally spend 90% of our time cleaning, washing, sharpening, training and occasionally sleeping. All the busy work is in preparation for that 10% of the time when we might actually get work. I do have to admit however that when we get a good fire (the kind that you can see as soon as you pull out of the station) it is really quite exciting. As we were driving to this fire today (our second 2 al... read more

Last night (Tuesday at 11:00 PM) I ordered:

double vodka Redbull - I counted a 6 second pour (3 oz)
double vodka tonic - 5 second pour (2.5 oz)
double cranberry vodka - 8 second pour (4 oz)
double cranberry vodka - 9 second pour (4.5 oz)

These were all served in 16 oz glasses

Total cost - $12

One reason to like Idaho, however even for idaho this is a good deal.

(it was however well vodka, nothing fancy)

On the same day that Washington state passed a bill " aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and investing in "green economy" jobs", Idaho also managed some discussion on the issue. I am so proud to live in such a forward thinking state. (You may have to click on the article to view it at full size)

1) Many cell phone companies have free services that back up your address book onto their web site. Verizon is one of them (backup assistant). It is free, but you have to activate it. If you lose your cell phone, all you do is buy a new one and tell it to repopulate it with your contacts thus saving having to write all your friends telling them you lost their numbers.

2) If you are approaching an exit on the highway, the exit number is placed on the side of the sign in which the exit is... read more
