Hi caddie!

I miss my dog on the road.... Oh yeah, and my wife too... (Hi annette) :)

Wifey and debbie

So as I sit here drinking beer at tgi fridays next to the pitt airport, I thought I might as well post some old picks. This was from last fri at hollywood and highlands. Annette's friend designs jewelry www.madejewelry.com I think. Anyways, she threw a part to promote, but couldn't get in to her own party.... Kinda lame, we eventually got in and it was ok, but I am definitely over the whole hollywood thang...

PA countryside

I drove 2.5 hours out of pitt to see a client in dubois pa. This is about as rural as it gets. I saw deer, cows, etc. What was really cool was the brown autumn leaves... Sounds gay, but livin in socal, u don't see that shit every day...

Downtown pitt...

You know, I have to apologize, beforew I got to pitt. I imagined a bunch of run down steel mills and crap like that. Downtown is not so bad... Still, it may be ok to visit. But I'd never live here. I wonder how palamalu deals with the cold...

See ya hotlanta!

Didn't see much of it, but from from above, atlanta has much more greenery than I imagined...

Home of the pirates arrrrrrrrrgh!

My first pittsburgh dining experience...

Ok ok ok, so I'm not really daring, this is the hotel restaurant.... I did try and go see what else was out there. I walked around a bit, but its really cold here. Decided to settle in at the hotel w a burger and some french onion soup.

Downtown pitt

It hotlanta...

First time here, but just on my way to pittsburgh...

Osso bucco

Cafe hiro... Quite good! Its a must try small lil place in cypress. Corner of valley view and cerritos...

Cafe hiro in cypress

Uni risotto is muy bueno!!!

Hollywood at night

Conference Booth

I haven't really done this before... Its funny though, most people only try to look to see if you giving anything away for free....

First meal in reno...

I'm not sure about the best brew pub in america... But I don't think the locals are very smaht...

Renooooo

Packed like a sardine...

On the way to renoooo...

Sounds like fun? Not really :(

Weezer is the best

Music...

Here at the weezer concert w the wife... I think the whole idea of opening acts is funny. Usually, its a group who people wouldn't normally pay to see. Today it was tokyo police who I've never really listened to and angels and airwaves. They were ok, but they are a group that all of their songs start sounding the same after a while. Sucks because I have to watch the beer intake cuz I have to do some work when I get home later.

Angels and Airwaves

Now I know why I hate the color red :(

Nice!

Laker season tix were delivered today!

irvine's asian invasion

difference between this simon and gisele bundchen?

once is a Brazilian Supermodel...

the other is dating Tom Brady... ORALE!

i thought it was funny... anyways, cruised up to hollywood last night for a Skooby dog and then drinks with Simon ese at Lscorpos... Hollywood is actually kool on the weekdays... less people save the tourist taking pics in front of the chinese theatr... a true taste of la... also the hot dog at skooby is smaller than i remember... but the garlic was awesome...

What's the difference between God and an attorney?

god doesn't thnk he's an attorney....

ha... i didnt get to use the joke this past weekend. went to a wedding for annette's law school friends... it was cool, but i will say lawyers love the sound of their own voice... luckily the SC game was on in the hotel bar...

excitement...

work has been pretty stressful lately with the market in the tanks... but i did get great news today... i've always wanted to play at Pebble Beach... while i heard it's not the greatest course ever, for anyone into golf, there is so much history behind Pebble Beach... also, it's one of the only courses in the country that is actually public... how much is it to play there? $570 including the caddie fee... i know, it's insane... you know what's crazier? even at that price, it's hard to get a tee time.. can you believe it??? anyways, our CEO happens to be a member there. i casually mentioned that i always wanted to play there, but couldn't really afford to. the reason is, in order to reserve a time, you have to stay at the lodge for 2 nights which costs somewhere around $600-700 a night... anyways, he asks me if i wanted to have a time... he then proceeds to call somebody, and 30 seconds later, we have a time for 9:30am this coming sunday... i didnt even have time to think about it... sooooo this sunday, ill be at pebble =) now dave and i just have to find a cheap motel room in monterey... (see previous post on broner)... i told dave to bust out his nice duds... (he wears smedium - smaller than size medium)...

Nelson dirtied up his sheets...

Foo tried to say the dog peed in his bed... Don't worry nellie, its ok... We know ur woman is across the country. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.... Well as long as its not anything with w girls and a cup...

New ipizzle...

The newest member to our happy apple family... It looks pretty dope and the screen is bigger than I thought.

dave got a broner...

i always play golf w/ my buddy, dave. recently, he's been making quite a few comments regarding camilo villegas. "i'm starting to like camilo" "i really like his swing" "i like the way his hands work"... hmmm... now let's step back and assess the situation... could dave be bro-mancing camilo? for those who don't know camilo, besides tiger, is one of the only golfers on tour who is yoked and ripped... so this means 1) dave's got a broner for camilo or 2) dave models himself after camilo because he sees himself as similar. im not sure which one it is, but regardless, it's a funny thought... we'll see where it goes from here, but if dave start's wearing pink J Lindeberg belts and tighter shirts to the course, i'm gonna have to find a new golf partner...

At&t wireless SUCKS

We got a 3G wireless card at work for when I travel around to see clients. I have to say, that it has NEVER worked well, in fact I rarely get coverage period. This is the worst service EVER.... I am becoming all to familiar with "You have failed to acquire a network connection. This can be due to heavy network traffic if you are calling during the afternoon peak usage period". What a load of shit...

cry me a river or buy me a liver?

wow... the past 10 days have really taken a toll on me... i counted, and i've been drinking 7 out of the last 10 days... im going to need a new liver soon... that and im really starting to pack on the lbs. i think im up to 198 lbs... anyways, sunday became a rest day... wife and dog sleeping soundly... i decided to lay low, and watch some sunday golf and football... i dont know how football season is going to affect the alchohol consumption, but im going to have to figga something out...
