Had a few good bottles of wine recently.
Muscat Canelli - Chateau Ste. Michelle (Columbia Valley)
2007 Vintage
This was a good sweeter dessert wine. I picked this up when we were on the Washington 2008 Trip.
Gamy Rouge - V. Sattui Winery (Napa Valley)
2006
Even though this is the only Gamy Rouge I’ve had, I thought it was pretty good. I bought this when we were in Californai in 2007.
The Smitty’s got a new car, an ‘09 Traverse. It’s pretty slick. It’s unfortunate that bsmith isn’t going to be the primary driver of the new ride.
I don’t blog a lot about work, but we just launched a new website where I did a lot of programming and theme customization within Wordpress. The site houses our Professional Development offerings at our district for the year.

Chloe is more of a swimmer, Bailey thinks the pool is a big water bowl.
I’m not really into accererizing my dog like some people, but we did just get a new backpack and leash for Bailey. They are made by ruffware, and they are by far higher quality than the average dog pack and leash. We had a cheap back back for the Bailey, but it didn’t fit well and started to rub his coat off. The new one fits perfectly.
So you are asking why a back pack for a dog? It’s this simple. After 3.5 miles of walking he’s just not tired. So we took the Cesar Milan approach and put a backpack on him and a couple bottles of water. Now he’s more focused because he has a job and tires faster given he’s carring more weight.
This guy is pretty creative.
This is either first or second beach, I’m really can’t remember.
I’m a master at tic tac toe.
Love the dahlias already
He’s typically always looking around the corned. He’s a very curious dog.
took this tonight
Got to chance test my new 5D Mark II out on a local band. If you get a chance check out the full res shot at 5000 iso!
this photo spoke to me for some reason.
Dang that’s old.
This wall had some great texture and colors. The light hit it just right.
Normally I straighten my photos out. But I think this crooked photo, is represented of many things these days. I think the crack in the parking lot is the icing.
I finished up listening to Blue Like Jazz today. It was a pretty good book. Donald Miller, the author, definataley has his own style. Tomorrow is my one month anniversary of audible. I finished my first two books up just in time to get two more tomorrow. I’m also reading currently Do Hard Things which is written by twins that are teenagers. The gist of the book, is that America has dumbed down the expectation of teenagers and what it has done to society. I’m about a quarter of the way through and hopefully, I’ll finish it in the next week or two.
I just finished reading a book called “Sustainable Youth Ministry” by Mark Devries. One of the best Youth Ministry books I’ve read in a long time. I definately have some work to do.
I’ve also turned a new leaf. I got my new tredmill last week and I finally started putting some miles on it today. I did 2 miles out doors with the dogs and came in and did another 2 miles while watching a podcast. My goal is to get up and do another mile or so before I goto work tomorrow.
So I’m sick of listening to the news every morning on the way to work on my XM Radio that I bought about a year ago. The news right now is grossly depressing and I can’t take it. I’ve been thinking for a while about subscribing to Audible. So this past week I took the plunge. I needed to read Velvet Elvis again for Lenten study at church and just haven’t had the time. So far it’s been great and I would highly recommend it. It’s the most affordable way to get audio books.
but this is humerous.
