Good Thing We Got the Rental Insurance...

The last thing I remembered was Brett, Dan and Paul belting out Journey's greatest hits... The pain in my ears and mind splitting headache must have been too much to handle thus causing me to pass out. No one was injured but I have lost all hearing in my right ear.-Brian L.post script... No, we did not wreck the rental. The photo is real, the story is not. Well, except for the singing part... that did actually happ...

Relay for Life - IIDA

This past weekend I traveled out to West Sacramento to participate in the Relay for Life in support of the American Cancer Society. The local chapter of the IIDA had a booth and tents set up and were definitely in it for the long haul. Each booth had various ways of raising money... some had water guns for sale, a raffle for cruiser bike, but the biggest hit was the dunk tank. The IIDA had a Mary Kay rep come out and give makeovers for a few hours....

Half Day Fridays

Before summer was officially here and the weather was still nice... a small group of us headed to a local watering hole for a few Friday afternoon drinks and some food. Jack and I rode our bikes in an attempt to burn the calories that we would no doubt be taking in. I was wiped out trying to keep up with Jack who, of course, was barely breaking a sweat. All in all... a pretty nice way to spend a Friday afternoon.-Brian...

What Can You Do With Paper?

I saw this in the Interior Design Magazine... thought it was pretty cool.“Pratt Institute president Thomas F. Schutte initiated the competition and exhibition, for which undergrads and graduates studying interior, industrial, and fashion design or the fine arts were asked to use sheets of plain white paper, in any size, to create a garment or a sculpture. Fasteners were allowed, but the construction method had to be evident. As explained by the dean...

Tike Races - 2011

Another successful Trike Race is in the books. Although there is never a clear victor as everyone cheats by ignoring the cones, wrecking other riders, cutting corners, etc... It's always fun to be kids for few minutes. Thanks to WP for the food and our neighbors Voit Real Estate Services and Valley Commerical Contractors for the cold beverages and popsicles. Jason showing off the new adult sized trike... the hot rod of the dayBrian thinking..."...

Random Acts of Fun

WP has started a fun new tradition of encouraging random acts of fun.

My name was the first to be pulled from the hat and being first came with great expectations. So, I decided to BBQ... because who doesn't like BBQ? And to keep the interest of everyone I printed out a bunch of sometimes...
