I was talking to my little brother earlier. He was telling me of a few things he’d still like to do and / or experience before heading off to college. One of the adventures on his list was going charter fishing on a deep sea boat. I told him he should get his friends together [...]
Like A Rock
Road Etiquette -vs- Law
So there I was, driving to the store earlier this week, when I noticed some debris in the road. Turned out it was a plastic shelf, a ladder, and some trash bags. The stuff must have fallen off the back of some truck. I hit my 4-way lights, and slowly came to a stop, since [...]
Care For A Sip Of Meat?
I’m not a drinker. I can probably tell you the details of each time I’ve drank in my life — and it’s less than 10 fingers worth of times — so I’m not exactly an expert in fine liquor. Yet even with my limited knowledge, I still have my standards, and I just don’t think I [...]
The Midnight Sun
We just had our summer solstice a few days ago, the longest daylight hours of the year. That is one of the things some of us come to appreciate about the Alaskan summers, it seems you can walk outside at just about any hour and still have daylight. How many people can claim they’ve seen [...]
The Other White… Apple
I have a confession: I think I want a white iPhone. Yeah, I said that. If you know me, you would be really surprised right now, because I usually really, really dislike white “gadgets”. Something about this one though, just looks… slick. Snazzy. I’m not sure exactly what it is. Maybe I’ll see one in [...]
Poor, Poor Girl
You see a photo like this, and obviously this girl is devastated. Something horrible must have just happened, like a close friend being shot during a bank robbery. Or maybe her house just got blown away by a tornado. I mean, just look at her! Something has broken this poor girl!… Oh, wait… what? You mean [...]
How Do We Know
I sat in my jeep one afternoon, at a store parking lot. I had an hour or so to kill while I waited for a pair of glasses at Lens Crafter. As I sat there I couldn’t help but watch this woman standing at a street corner with a cardboard sign. She was probably in [...]
The BoobTube
Just finished watching a game show on NBC called Minute To Win It. Basically you do small challenges based on simple objects, that get progressively harder and you can win up to a million bucks. First time I’ve seen it, and I can’t say I like it all that much. I think the most entertaining [...]
Concert In The Park
I just got back from seeing one of my favorite bands — Flyleaf — live, in downtown Anchorage for our “Summer Solstice” Festival. Funny how great music and an energetic atmosphere can make you forget that you’ve had rain pouring on you for the last 2 hours. I have to give major props to the [...]
