Who Killed Folk Music?

Gregor — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 04:26:33 +0000

We pull off the road, exhilarated from the ride and parched. Mouths drier than a Brit’s wit. I’m talking dry here. Kelly, Brian and I have not been on the road long, but it’s been busy. A lot of blind, off-camber turns and traffic have taken a little bit of a toll. A cold Coors [...]

Decompression Stop

Gregor — Sat, 14 May 2011 22:13:25 +0000

First of all, apologies for the deadness of this blog of late. To be honest, I’m apologizing to myself as I find this sort of writing very soothing and I’ve missed it. As many of you know I’ve been back among the workforce, writing copy for a product on Bing called MSN Answers. If you [...]

Great Friends, Wine and Jazz

Gregor — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:48:00 +0000

This past Saturday at Pleasant Hill Wineries, we had a chance to experience a great trifecta of life: An afternoon with great friends (Kelly and Lisa and new friends Blaine and Carrie), tasting some phenomenal wine, and listening to some killer jazz. Oh, and some really good food as well. I guess that makes it [...]

Oregon Trip 2010

Gregor — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 20:18:55 +0000

While the boys were here, we decided to take them on a trip into Oregon. Typical 2 day trip, hit the coast then book across to the middle of Oregon for some high desert fun. Usually these short little trips are a blast, and this one turned out to be one of the best. We [...]

Crabs and Cruise Ships

Gregor — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 21:52:17 +0000

A wonderful day on Seattle's Waterfront. Pike Place Market, The Crab Pot, the aquarium, street food, and 500 thousand tourists.

Aged to Perception

Gregor — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 17:32:12 +0000

What the…? No, I haven’t lost my ability to spell. Hang in there with me and all will make sense in a bit. My boys are in town visiting for about a month. Marc is almost 19, headed into the Air Force and I could not be prouder, even if it isn’t the Navy (grin). [...]

Artopia 2010

Gregor — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 19:11:30 +0000

Hey Gregor, you ask, just what in the heck is Artopia 2010? Well, I’m glad you asked kids. Artopia is a street/art festival put on by Seattle Weekly and a bunch of sponsors and volunteers. Live music, trapeze, performing artists, art show, flea market, and farmers market. Artopia manages to do it all, and all [...]

Washington State wine tasting among historic airplanes. Two great tastes that go great together.

A short review of the Skookum Brewery and beer tasting barn in Arlington Washington.

William & Jo – A Wedding Story

Gregor — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 19:00:18 +0000

Instead of the normal rants, recipes and reviews that usually appear here, I’ve decided to write about a wedding Beth and I attended this past Thursday. William and Jo are 2 friends of ours that live out here in Seattle. William I’ve known for over 15 years now. We just met Jo a couple of [...]

Tulalip Resort Casino Trip

Gregor — Sat, 09 May 2009 22:18:20 +0000

We’ve been going to Tulalip almost from the moment we arrived in the area. It really has a “Vegas” feel about it, and makes a great getaway. Now, it’s even better with the addition of of the hotel next to the Casino that opened last summer. Highly recommend this place for locals as it’s a [...]

Yakima Valley Wine Trip

Gregor — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 22:53:07 +0000

The past weekend Beth and I headed off to wine country on the first trip of the season. Passes were clear and the weather forecast was calling for 70’s and sun. That’s all we needed to hear. Car packed with a few goodies, we hit the road. Oh, one thing before we continue the trip. [...]

Sockeye’s – Monroe, WA

Gregor — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 19:39:00 +0000

Last Saturday Beth and I went for a drive, anxious to eliminate some of this cabin fever. We decided to just get lost for a bit. You know, take a right, take a left, two rights, and boom. Lost. Then try and find your way back without backtracking. It’s a great way to run into [...]

Northern Exposure

Gregor — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:22:00 +0000

Northern Exposure Originally uploaded by Harley Nut My boys are visiting Beth and I over the summer. They look so thrilled here I can’t stand it. If only there was a Northern Exposure video game. Share this on Facebook Digg this! Blog this on Blogger Share this on LinkedIn Tweet This!

Cacti and Cukes

Gregor — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:48:00 +0000

Beth and I went to Yakima a month or so ago, where we had a spectacular lunch at The Barrel House. Along with the fine dining, we found out about a grand Cactus Bloom Tour. Now, great food and blooming cacti in the same day seemed like a match made in heaven to our desert [...]
