Having finished my year as ER (just check my back posts in July for the meaning) the last order of business is to retire my picture that has been on display at the entry way of the lodge from April 06-07 to the wall in our meeting room with photos dating back to 1952. A lot of faces, a lot of names.
I have spent many a time looking at those faces drawing inspiration from them over the course of my year, and now- I am one with them. It was a long year, one that truly tested my metal and in the end, I can say through the good and bad, I weathered the storm OK. -Matt

Ha. Good afternoon finish to my work week. Went to the brand new Starbucks down the road with a real rootin tootin god ole boy insurance agent who wants our business. The manager at Sbux looked familiar and he recognized me also. Turns out he was the manager in Pioneer Square, Seattle. Then me and Tex we'll call him sat outside, discussed multi million dollar oil drilling deals and talked about cadillacs. Something like that... at least how I remember it. Even got a ride in his big truck. Then I went back to the office, packed up and left. Now, I'm living it up. At the hotel pool, laptop, sun blazing. Also got to see the Rapalot van at the Shell.
Would You Like Onion Ring Sauce With That?...

WOULD I?! That is the thought that rushed through my head as I began a journey of imaginative thoughts of what could only be a cornucopia of flavor with the words "Onion Ring" and "Sauce". My heart fluttered in anticipation as I tore through my billfold searching for my debit card to pay the $3.26 so I could at last be within grasp of my afternoon delight. Gnashing my foot forward against the accelarator, I raced through the "drive thru" grabbing the brown bag used to deliver the method to what has now turned into onion ring madness. Oh sweet ambrosia- what will it taste like? Will it simply put me into another realm of taste sensation, or will the sensory overload drop me into an FDA approved Burger King coma? Oh the suspense!
At last, I arrive back to work, rifling through the bag forsaking the catsup and burgers to find the hidden jewel of my fancy nestled against the soft warm paper sleeve that holds the onion rings, like a child held in the comfort and warmth of a loving mothers womb. Plucking it gently from the bag my mind can barely comprehend what I am reading- Zesty. OMFG, this truly a dream come true! Now we have added the last element to the equation of everlasting happiness. Onion Ring+Sauce+Zesty=Get in my belly- oh sweet mercy get...in...my...belly.
As I tear open the lid, I see what can only be described as molten Pimento cheese spread....*POOF* fantasy over.... Now fear and uncertainty fill the spot that once was home to joy and excitement. Dipping the Onion Ring into "Zesty" and devouring it, my mouth is not exploding with savory joy and goodness, but then again it is not spitting it out either... it's just... there. I can't really describe the flavor, or whether or not it can be filed under "Tasty" or "Disgusting", rather it is simply- there. Existing in a purgatory of my senses.
Conclusion. Delicious? Dunno... Horrid? Can't really say. Will I have it again? Who can say. It appears the mad scientists at the Burger King have created the Untaste. -Matt

Finally treated myself to some bbq. Found a mighty fine place I reckon. All Texas lookin'. That's white bread toast, bbq beef potatoe salad and green beans. Also the feeder/frontage roads that confused the hell out of me at first but I've grown to love. They un parallel woth the freeways.
haircut!

After seeing a photo gallery on Wired, I ordered and today received a copy of the massive, immersive book The Making of Star Wars: The Definitive Story Behind the Original Film: Based on the Lost Interviews from the Official Lucasfilm Archives. This is part of the full-scale assault of 30th anniversary merchandising including, re-release of the movie in 3D, action figures, LEGO kits, comics, Topps cards, mailboxes, DVDs and more. The difference for me between now and 30 years ago is that I can afford to buy this stuff if I want.
