About Me

I like anything to do with the ocean/water (dying to try flyfishing). I love steak, sushi and desserts, but I'll try pretty much anything. Scared s**tless of heights. There is always beer or wine in the fridge, but very little food. Once came in second to a librarian on "Win Ben Stein's Money". Currently listening to In Between Dreams in the shower. Notorious for putting hot sauce on almost everything, and for getting stir crazy very easily. If invited, I'll go anywhere in the world just to see what it's like. I'm not a morning person, but will get up ridiculously early to surf or fish.

The Road - Cormac McCarthy

Stellar book...really dark and tragic, but the story is very compelling. Sometimes you want to hurl when you think about the evil in people, but also makes you realize that "the good guys" can e...

Uncle Bos review

Hadn't been there before and wasn't expecting much from the blocked out windows on the street, but when I walked in, I felt like I was in a bar in SF again. Nice decor, cute waitress, but I thou...

Draft Results

Ok, so what is with all the talk about the Raiders potentially getting another QB? They passed on Leinart, and Cutler. I am happy about the fact that we shored up some big holes in the D, but it...
