My Yelp Profile

I’m still very tired. We took a red-eye flight…no fun! I’ll have more info. and pictures posted later.

Oreo Cookies + Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream (it has to be green!) + Cake + Me = Mess.

P.S. The Mrs. put the uneaten portion of the cake back in the freezer!

Sorry for the secrecy on this one. Guess you’ll have to come back when the timer ends!!

I’m still debating if I want to change the header image. We’ll see! Hope you enjoy!

P.S. Go Lakers!

Sold!

Mayday! I’m not feeling well. :’(

What’s the worst part about being sick you ask?

Is it the…: lack of sleep, coughing, sore throat, achey body, mucus thicker than rope stuck in my throat, head ache, pukey feeling?

Nope! The worst part is being unable to kiss my cute wife!

Recently, Obama got slammed for “flying” a pizza chef to Washington DC to bake some pizza. Ha-larious!

How much does Obama love his pizza? So much that he is willing to fly a chef 860 miles to Washington D.C. to make him a personal pizza.

When you’re the president of the United States, only the best pizza will do – even if that means flying a chef 860 miles.Chris Sommers, 33, jetted into Washington from St Louis, Missouri, on Thursday with a suitcase of dough, cheese and pans to to prepare food for the Obamas and their staff.

He had apparently been handpicked after the President had tasted his pizzas on the campaign trail last autumn.

Hey, you guys know what says you are really sincere about this whole Global Warming thing that you want to use to justify an economy crushing cap and trade program? Jetting a dude across the country to make you a freaking pie.

Ok, now for the rebuttal!

He goes on to suggest that Obama is flouting the recession with this extravagance, and suggests a local pizzeria for the President to use.

This is stupid on its face, but when I actually called Chris Sommers’ restaurant, Pi, it got so much worse for Ace’s scandal.
I spoke with the restaurant’s manager, John Fitzgerald, and he gave me some things that we call “facts,” ones that cast Sommers’ trip in an entirely different light.

The best one is the first: Ace of Spades slammed Obama’s environmental cred for “jetting in” Pi’s chef, making it seem as though the guy was hopping a private gulfstream, or worse, partying down on Air Force One .

• In fact, Chris Sommers flew commercial.
• Not only that, he flew coach.
• Not only that, he had already planned a business trip to DC, so the restaurant paid for his travel!

John also told me that Chris Sommers is one of the most dedicated people he knows to the environmental cause.

• In fact, his restaurant buys carbon credits from a wind farm in Colorado.
• Not only that, they recycle about 75% of their waste.
• Not only that, John himself is going into the green building business. You couldn’t find a worse case for environmental hypocrisy.

Finally, Barack Obama isn’t saddling the American taxpayer with the tab for this feast. He’s picking up the tab, for local ingredients, out of his own pocket.

Zing! To be honest though, I’d still be okay if he flew in a chef to make him a pizza.

If you’re not a baseball fan, this probably wont mean anything to you. But if you are, it’s pretty funny.

At 35 and 39, respectively, Ichiro and Junior are old enough that neither is likely to change much at this stage. But they might rub off just a little on each other. Griffey could draw out Ichiro’s personality a bit more. And who knows, maybe Ichiro will teach Junior the importance and joy of pregame stretching.

We’ll see, but Thursday was a decent start.

“I’ll be ready for you to take me to dinner in an hour,” Griffey shouted at his new teammate.

Ichiro replied, “Bring a tie.”
