I'm falling behind


I haven't had time to post lately which probably upsets me more than you, but I thought I would check in to assure you I haven't just been kidnapped or anything. Just been working trying to do husband and dad stuff, which doesn't really include spending yet more time at the computer. But look at these boys. How can you blame me?

Anyway, since I still don't have time to do a real post, here's what's coming as soon as I have some more time:

I'm going to be moving my movie reviews to a new blog set up just for movie reviews and my thoughts on TV shows and the entertainment world in general. I will have a link from this page for your convenience. I will try to get new reviews on there as soon as possible which will no doubt include Memoirs of a Geisha which my lovely wife is anxious to see me admit I watched and enjoyed. I have been thinking about doing this for a while, but then fellow blogger and buddy Mike Lewis found a great blog template for me that put me over the edge. So, see you at the movies.

I'm on the brink of having a sandwich named after me wich will probably rank as one of the top accomplishments of my life and I feel the need to tell you all about it.

If you haven't been checking out my sports blog and you are into that kind of thing, you should check out coming soon new posts on the NBA draft, more on why I don't care about soccer, why the Giants should be buyers in the trade market and coming a little later FANTASY FOOTBALL. Can you feel the excitement? I know you can. There is a link on on this site.

Also, there will be posts on:

Snobby waiters
Lawyers behaving badly
Things you need to know when traveling on an airplane
more food rules
more reasons to like Green Lantern
Various random Biblical observations.

check back soon.

I like that Josh's blog has "Blog Post Previews" just like the movies.

Memoirs of a Geisha...brings back fun memories of our Japanese son, Tomo. I could ALWAYS get him going by saying that a Geisha is nothing more than a common prostitute. I knew this was incorrect, I just liked to torture him. I know you find it difficult to picture me tormenting someone just for run.
He would always try to argue, by saying a True Geisha was a skilled, highly trained woman who entertained men.
Thats exactly my point, I would say, they "ENTERTAINED MEN!"
You get the idea. The more he said, the bigger hole he dug himself into. Eventually whenever I would craftily turn the conversation to Geishas, he would just hold his head in his hands and shake his head. Good Times.

Tomo especilly enjoyed when I would read him parts of the novel. Or maybe it was I who enjoyed it. I forget.

I can't wait to hear more stories about Tomo. I love thinking that he knows most of what he knows about America from Tim and Peggy. It makes me proud and freightened all at once.

What's funny is that after seeing the movie, I don't think you can help but be struck by the fact that even with all the fans and dancing and funny guitars, etc. the geisha, for all their mystery and renown, were still basically prostitutes. They are, I believe, a rather sad statement about a certain segmant of Japanese culture. Tune in to my new blog www.stumptownmovies.blogspot.com in a day or two to hear more.

Isn't "lawyers behaving badly" redundant? Great looking boys. Looking forward to future posts.

John, I'm going to refuse to answer on the grounds that I might incriminate myself...or others.

The myth of fingerprints

Shorter post today. I thought it would be better if you knew up front. I teach a business law class to junior and senior business students at a couple local colleges. I do it because I enjoy it and one of the colleges is a local Christian school I like to support. One of the things I have come to enjoy is how predictable people are in groups. Get a group of people together and you will always have certain personality types and people playing certain rolls. It is like the various versions of the expression that goes something like, every group of people has at least one person that the rest of the group makes fun of when they are not there. If you can not identify that person in your particular group it is because that person is you. ....or so the saying goes. Anyway, every year I teach this class the "same" people sit in the same places in class, dress the same and make the same comments. They are actually different people, most of whom don't even know each other

So Much Going On

Man, I wish I had time to blog, because there is so much going on right now. I just started at a new firm. It is the firm where I started my career and I could not be happier to be back. To make it even better, after going through 16 different secretaries, I now am working with the best of the best and she decided to come with me to the new firm making a good situation that much better. In other news, my lovely wife and I just got back from the Zoe worship conference in beautiful Fresno, California. Here were some of the highlights in mostly chronological order: We left the kids with the grandparents and drove down. That’s right we drove the 12+ hours from Portland to Fresno. Apparently, we are just too stupid (and by “we” I mean “me”) to figure out that gas prices probably make flying cheaper, so then the only thing air travel has going for it is the time savings, convenience and lack of extra miles on the car. Good thinking by us. I love a road trip, but this was just dumb. That said

I Left My Heart.....in San Diego

Out of nowhere, I am going to San Diego this week. Every year my oldest and bestest friend (not including the artist formerly known as StumpTown's wife, of course) meet in San Francisco to see a couple Giants games. This year we were having trouble getting something scheduled and then out of nowhere he has some extra travel budget he has to spend or lose (he visits colleges as part of his job as a college counselor at a super posh prep school in LA), and needs to visit some of the schools in San Diego and wouldn't you know it, the Giants just happen to be in town this weekend. So, a quick frequent flyer free ticket later and I'm hitting the road, or air, or whatever. I will fly out tomorrow and come back Sunday. We should get to see a couple games and I'll be able to catch up with some other friends from college along the way. Should be great. So, I may not be able to post anything new here the rest of the week, though I am taking a laptop with me and have high ho
