Happy Friday

Ah, it's a Friday evening once again and a three-day weekend to boot! As you may be able to see from the photo, I'm enjoying a Smithwick's Irish Ale.


Yes sir, I'm a motorboatin' SOB or perhaps I should amend that to once and future motorboatin' SOB! "You old sailor, you!"

If you don't already know the meaning of the phrase, I won't say except watch for it the next time you catch the movie "Wedding Crashers" with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. Cracks me up every time!

Seems like we refer to "Wedding Crashers" frequently at work and when this T-shirt popped up on ShirtADay.com I had to buy it. Everyday this site offers up a new T-shirt similar to Woot.com offering up a single product a day. I just checked their "Warehouse" link at ShirtADay.com and they still have some motorboatin' shirts left along with a very cool "I am McLovin" shirt -- from the movie "Superbad" of course.

Speaking of Woot.com, today is a "Woot Off" so I've been hitting the site from time to time all day to see what product is up for sale and hoping to pop in when the highly regarded "Bag of Crap" is on sale. Don't be put off by the name, legend has it the "Bag of Crap" is chock full of very cool electronic gear, regardless of the fact that you buy it blind without knowing what's actually headed to your doorstep.

In other news...
Now that football season is over, great to have the golf season back in full swing literally! Picked up some passes for Jimmy Joe Pete and I to take a mental health day from work the week of the Wachovia Championship at the end of April. The passes are cheap and actually good for all three practice days leading up to the tournament. The great thing about practice days is you are allowed to take photos, and the Pro-Am is the Wednesday before the tournament. Last year Michael Jordan and Peyton Manning played.

All for now... Salud!

New Woodside Lounge

Image
Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday. For those of you who have visited in the past, this room is at the front of the house but many times went unnoticed by visitors as it was closed off and used as storage. The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
