Buy Local, Be...

2007-09-06T12:00:00.000-07:00

As a fan of "Buy Local, Be Local" and a relentless "foodie" (see the other term on MR's blog) I find myself enjoying the bounty that is Summer and Fall in the Northwest, but sneaking into the produce aisle for the guilty pleasures of citrus, mangoes, bananas and such.

28 years ago I was a 5th grader at Happy Valley School. Today, Maryn starts the first grade. Yikes! She didn't even flinch. She was so excited to start, headed straight into class, said "Hi" to the teacher, "See ya" to mom, dad and Larsen, then decided she'd give us all a hug before we left. Couldn't have been prouder!She is the bomb! Drop her an email and let her know:m a r y n @ j a m i e

Get yourself 300 pounds of sand, add kids, mix well and you have yourself a party. Thanks to everyone who stopped by or sent cards this week to wish me a happy birthday. I believe it was summed up best by the immortal James D. Turner in "Trading Places", "...it was a stone groove, my man."

To say that my wife, Lisa, has been excited about the snow is a bit of an understatement. What would you expect from a Florida girl? While it doesn't compare to her excitement over the big win last Monday by her beloved Gators, it comes close. More pics of our snow fun over at her site.
