Our Yearly Playlist

Times like this remind me why I am thankful there are no casinos in LA.

A Walk Around Old Montreal

Just an iPhone today. The camera will come out before we leave. A great little city.

In Search of Smoked Meat

Found the place with the longest line since 1928. Schwartz.

#82 In Progress

Montreal.

On a red eye, eh.

Getting ready for back to back to back shows in August.

Enjoyed watching the US win the Copa Oro at a proper English Pub with Devin and Sonia.

Happy Birthday, Bro

This is when we created the superhero duo, Underwear Men.

So, I did this to my body last night.

#85 Not Happening

The US soccer team is shaping up to be America’s best team ever, but I’m officially crossing off #85 as a possibility. Not only will it be winter in July 2014 in Brazil, it appears that they are completely unprepared to host the world. Maybe Qutar in 2018.

I know this is mean, Brittany, but you only get your wisdom teeth pulled once.

Pulled off the spare tire trifecta this weekend by eating at a couple of dogs from Jene’s and Jude’s, a burrito from Taco Burrito Palace and a burger from Bills. Oh, and a rib eye steak three out of the four nights.

Actually enjoyed a round of golf.

A Marquette reunion broke out while celebrating Matt’s birthday.

Dinner at Piccolo Sogno Due and drinks at The Roof at the Wit.

Well that was a huge mistake.

Can’t go to Chitown without a couple of dawgs from Gene’s and Jude’s.

Sonia, Brit and I joined a good college buddy and his family at Joe’s Seafood, Stone Crab and Prime Steak to help him celebrate his 40th. Sonia and Brittany ate and ran to see Beyonce perform from her cousin’s luxury box at the United Center. I was luckily not invited.

Love this city, but 95 degrees and deathly humid.

You can still get a decent meal on a domestic flight. Virgin Airlines.

I learned nothing.

Celebrating Brit’s 18th

Happy 18th to My Little Girl

My daughter is now an “adult”. Bittersweet.

#76 Done

Enjoyed the gourmet Mexican restart, YXTA, our tenth new restaurant of the year.

#6 in Progress

Dropped Brit off at UCR for orientation. Less than a month to go. The other girl is Brit’s future teammate and roommate.

#58 Done

Enjoyed a showing of Bill Murray’s “Stripes” at the LA Historic State Park on the outskirts of downtown.

#68 in Progress

Tried the Dirty Sanchez burger (ground beef, pastrami) from the El Burger food truck.

#67 in Progress

July 6, 2012 July 6, 2013 It will take a miracle to meet last year’s numbers, but at least our Facebook fans are still increasing.

#6 in Progress

We’re getting closer.

#53 In Progress

Much like The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, The Inferno was a fun read.

4th of July

Other then Devin stepping on the scorching hot grill and barbecuing his foot, it was a great 4th.

Beating the Heat

As long as George is around, I will never be a favorite uncle.

#19 Done

I never said it had to be a good beer. We messed up the yeast part of the equation which resulted in a flat, bitter brew.

Beautiful night at the ballpark with Sonia, Georgeanne and my Dad. Giants lost by a couple of inches.

#11 Fails

Although I think it would’ve been a cool project, remembering to take a one second video every day became too much of burden.

Summer Weekend. Food. Pool. Bronco. Repeat.

Happy Birthday, Mama

Thank you for introducing me to nature and sparking my love for animals. I probably never would have cared to travel to Africa if it wasn’t for you.

Their choice for dinner, our choice of movie. Kids picked better.

Doobie Brothers and Steve Miller Band at the Greek

First time I’ve done this in well over fifteen years.

Father’s Day dinner.

Happy Birthday, Aunt Ona!

Happy Birthday to my Aunt Ona. Thank you for teaching me and giving me everything most adults at the time deemed inappropriate. Love you.

#17 in Progress

Beers are bottled. Two weeks away from a tasting. Not optimistic.
