Bought tickets to fly to Portland (for vacation) and made reservations at the Monoco (a Kimpton hotel) in downtown Portland. Can't wait to go. Suggestions for things to do besides ride around on a bike, eat doughnuts, visit some parks, and do basically nothing? I try to make a habit of not accomplishing anything but breakfast before noon on vacation.

Hope they can get the fires under control and hope they don't head your way. Big fires can jump across a freeway so I don't think (of course, I am not an expert) that cutting some trees/shrubs near the house is going to help that much unfortunately.

Yuck! Do you have a battery powered cable modem? Also yuck!

^This!

Great minds think alike (pirate) Mike! We also had a meatless Monday, cooking quinoa for the first time: quinoa and black beans sauteed with garlic, tomatoes, jalapenos, onions, lime zest, lime juice with a bit of fresh cilantro on top; swiss chard and arugula/spinach salad on the side. No pics as it is already happily in the tummies.

Hope the neck pains get better Haj.

To help with the revival (will be cooked on the BBQ first though).

^Does that mean Mike should send me more Zombie Dust? Ten lives, like a super cat!

Tasty stuff Mike and Graham!

That sucks Larry, sorry.

Too late, I have already died of hunger.

Nice! I am starving right now so if you could just fax that over my way...

Back to Breaking Bad again. Now if I can just get hubby hooked. It is a bit too heavy for him.

I guess the carnitas burrito is pretty good.

Sorry Dan.

Finished Season 2 of Luther. Hoping for a Season 3.

Congrat to Peter!

Make sure to stretch really well before your routine Jim!

Like!

Yay for retina displays (although I would have gone for the air probably).

Because of the laptop/ipad support, the 7 was a little more rigid than the 10. I like the way the 10 forms to my body. I did like that it was slightly wider and shorter though - easier to get more stuff in and out fast. However, it was basically too similar to the 10 and I didn't feel like selling the 10 to recover some of the cost of the 7 (cuz I'm lazy). I think the UD 35 is better for laptop support since the opening is a little larger than that on the 7. Plus, I like to be able to use the Tom Bihn Absolute Strap on a "heavy" bag which I can on the UD bags but not on the Retro bags.

The Think Tank UD 35 v2 has arrived and I like it so far (although I haven't taken it out of the house). The UD 50 and Retro 7 have been sent back.

Happy birthday David!

But only at work.

Want bacon waffle sandwich!!!
