Napa Trip for a Wedding

By

Last weekend I went with Kat to her sisters wedding up in Napa, to be specific in Calistoga which is north a bit.  This was my first time to wine country, and after being there it really makes me regret sleeping in the previous times I have had the chance to go.  It is such a beautiful place, and we ended up going to two wineries, the first being the Frank Family, and Chateau Montelena which was a really cool experience.  I wasn’t too impressed with Frank Family, only because the guy at the tasting was not very personal.  Chateau Montelena was fun though, and Kat even got attacked my a swan that she was feeding.  I am hoping that Kat and I get to make it back there sometime soon for another weekend.
The wedding itself was short and sweet, and took place at a winery which made for a really cool setting.  After the wedding instead of going to some boring hall, or country club we actually are in a cave on site.  I didn’t get too many pictures from within the cave, which now that I think of it I really should have.  I uploaded to pictures to my Picasa account which is now linked to my site here.  Click the read more to see all the pictures.

Michigan Hooha

By

So I have now returned from my Michigan trip. It was pretty fun, besides the horrible weather. Louie’s wedding seemed to have gone well, besides myself getting chock slammed on the beach in the whee hours of the morning. Other than that there was good food, good drinks and some fun times… ohh an mosquitoes too yay to them. The drive back from up north was pretty crappy, just lots of rain and dead deers on the side of the road. I got to spend some QT with the kidlet, she was sad when I had to leave. I felt really bad… but I couldn’t miss my flight. Speaking of the flight, I found out why my Laptop has been running like crap as of late…. 512mb of RAM is bad … it registers when it feels like and when that happens it blue screens. Well I cant argue too much with some RAM that I have had in my laptop for 3yrs, and bought used at that. Anyways I am back in sunny California again. I will post some pictures later today of the fun filled days that were in Michigan.

Walking

By

Its really nice living more in the city now, as I can walk just about anywhere.   Lots of benefits to it, not only has the tank of gas in my car lasted about a month but I am also getting some much needed exercise.  Why anyone would want to live outside of a big city is beyond me.

Gene Simmons is the Hamburglar

By

Gene SImmonsSo the other day I went to get some lunch at Trimana right near the office. While waiting in line this guy walks up and asks me if I had ordered yet… I think it was a ploy for him to take my food. Anyways after he walked away from me, probably to go hide behind the trash can so that he could jump me after I got my food. I noticed it was no other than Gene Simmons himself. The overall shocking factor was that the place we were eating is somewhat like a High School Cafeteria, just didn’t expect that the man that once dressed up in a crazy outfit(and still does), and paints his face would eat.  Other than that lunch was pretty uneventful.  I really need to find some other places to eat near by as I am getting sick of Panda Express, Starbucks, Trimana… and even Blue Marlin.
