Our Yearly Playlist

Dinner at the Olde Pink House in Savannah, GA

Built in the late 1700s. Dinner with ghosts.

#3 Done

#3: Charleston, S.C. Locals call it “A drinking town with a historical problem.” Great town. Great food. Amazing history.

#27 Done

Although all of Charleston was a civil war battlefield, we visited several hot spots where you thought you could smell the gunpowder in the air.

Dinner at The Ordinary on King Street in Charleston, SC. Fantastic.

The USS Yorktown

Couldn’t leave before trying some low country BBQ.

Middleton Place

The Drayton Plantation

The plantation was occupied by both the Colonial and British troops. British generals Clinton and Cornwallis used it as a staging area before sacking Charleston. The home features the oldest hand carved plaster ceilings in the US. A Drayton family growth chart spanning more than 200 years.

A near perfect burger at Husk.

Pre lunch massages.

Afternoon Walk Around Charleston

Visiting our very first client on Kings Street in Charleston, SC.

Checked into the historic Wentworth Mansion and promptly took a nap in the 18th century old room. The Wentworth Mansion, built in 1886 as a private residence for the wealthy cotton merchant Francis Silas Rodgers, invites guests to enjoy the preserved opulence of America’s Gilded Age. The inn’s 21 guestrooms and suites feature antique furnishings, carved marble fireplaces, and oversized whirlpool tubs. The Mansion…

Got in to Atlanta at 5:30am, picked up a car and drove five hours north to Charleston. Stopped at the first place with a good bowl of shrimp and grits.

#49: Complete 10 nagging home repairs Stabilized the pool equipment gate and reattached the latch. Exciting stuff.

85 with a slight breeze.

Spent the second half of a beautiful day watching Brit play a three game round robin tournament against conference opponents. UCR won 2 and tied one and are undefeated in the Spring season thus far. Brit started 2 of 3 games and played her best games in her young college career.

#94 in Progress

Hoping for something akin to Liar’s Poker or The Wolf of Wall Street, but Young Money is a rather bland inside look into first year investment bankers.

Photo shoot today, so the team (minus a couple of members) stepped in for a quick pic.

After Mastros

#71 Done

#71: Build an iPhone app. We finally took our website mobile. It can now be accessed by smart phone or tablet.

Had dinner tonight in the canyon when we noticed an Oscar at the next table. Of course we had to ask for a picture. In case you’re wondering, Best Make Up for Dallas Buyers Club. Oh, and it’s really heavy.

A soggy start to the Spring season at UCR. Brit started and helped her team secure a 1-0 victory over Cal Baptist.

The sight of rain has become so rare that I need to post it for later viewing.

#5 in Progress

#5 Prepare 12 meals at home A rainy night means burgers Bobby Flay style.

A bar side pic of kumamotos, mussels and cheese wouldn’t normally be significant, but tonight we walked to enjoy this meal. Burbank is coming of age.

#60 Done

Six classes in and even the basic steps like this one are really hard to get. Tango isn’t choreographed, but looks like it when mastered. Every move comes from the man. When you know what you’re doing, a man should be able to lead any woman (who is a tango dancer) on the floor and dance an entire routine without ever speaking. If I…

He walks on water.

A beautiful day in Beverly Hills.

#82 Done

#82: Eat at Dan Tana’s This place hasn’t change since Sinatra made it his local haunt.

Back in Burbank.

One last meal at Scarpeta.

So not disciplined.

#39 Done

#39. Eat at Jose Andres’ secret Cosmo restaurant After reserving over two months in advance, we finally got a place at the ten seat “secret” restaurant. The menu reflects the chef’s journey through Spain. It was well worth the wait.

And we’re back.

At the USR Soccer Banquet with Brittany.

A quick side trip to Riverside.

Rose. Rabbit. Lie. Is a new innovative comedy variety show at the Cosmopolitan. I was loving every second of it until I was dragged on stage to point a gun at a dog cradled in my arms. The dog is fine.

Valentine’s Day dinner at Sage.

Cosmopolitan Hotel, 2014. A throwback to when we used to post mirror pics on the blog.

Wait, there’s going to be a cloud today? Man, this weather sucks.
