Thanks for my Birthday Wishes!

This is a birthday card from my office

And here a bunch of voicemails people left me!


















I talked with my parents more the night of my birthday, naturally, and my brother took Adri and I out to dinner.

Thanks everyone!

Amador County Wine Tasting

Over the holiday break, Adrianna and I went wine tasting with our families.  I decided to keep track of my opinions, and then survey the group at the end.  Why?  Who knows... it just sounded like fun.  Here are the results of the wine tasting in Amador County "analytics" expirement.

Wine Tasting in Amador

Folks have a good sense of humor up here in Amador County.  We spent about three hours today with Robert van der Vijver at his winery and had a ball.  In addition to his personality, it also helped that his wine was very good... in fact we ended up leaving with some of it.

At another winery we visited, we saw this picture out front:

Another example of humor in Amador.  The people up here are very friendly, the wine is very good, and the tastings are still (for the most part) free!  In addition, bottle tastings are still possible in this area.  All in all, it is a fantastic place to visit in my opinion.

Christmas Carols

This is my first Christmas in CA, and this means that I'm around my mom's half of the family this year for the holidays.  Typically my brother and I return to Colorado for the holidays and are with my father's side of the family.  Here's one of the carolers from my mom's side:

I Just Voted...

VToday is November 2nd and we all know what that means.  It's time to step up and vote; to take a stand for what we believe in.  Today I voted, yes in the 2010 elections but almost as important, I voted for Justin Lutsky:




Vote here: http://now.sprint.com/e?OzHFzlN8110

You can vote once a day.  We need to get Justin in the top 10 so Michael Bay can judge his short!

Hand-written letters... or are they?

At the NACAC conference in St. Louis, I came across these machines that simulate handwriting... but are actually printers. Crazy stuff!



I guess those letters we get from politicians and celebrities written in pen don't mean anything!

Sunday Planter Project

Here is what we did with part of our weekend!  We created a planter and then planted cherry tomatoes, rosemary, eggplant, sweet peppers, bell peppers, and oregano.

Now we wait... and then eat.

Man Walking Racconn

Today on my way to work, I saw a man walking a raccoon.

Raccoons were once my favorite animals, but when I grew old enough to realize that they were technically vermin, they lost a few points.  I do think it's pretty cool that he has a pet raccoon but I think I will stick with dogs.
