Ah Pyramid Brewery, how you take me back to my Scotland days…
If you’re going to speak like a Scotsman, why not drink like one?
The Pianist

Went to see the movie, the Pianist last night. Wow. Superb movie. When leaving the theatre, Chris and I were breathless and speechless for about 5 minutes. Unusual for a loud mouth Yank like me.

Brothers and professional baseballers, Jason and Jeremy Giambi, faced off on opposing teams on Tuesday in the spring training version of the “fierce Yankees-Red Sox rivalry.”
What made me laugh was a quote by Jeremy, who said: “It’s the biggest rivalry in sports.”
I think there might be a few people lining up to beg to [...]
2 Degrees of Separation

Eugene isn’t a big city, but it’s not a small town. It’s just small enough to where you see the same people, both strangers and friends. As it turns out those same people also have fewer degrees of separation from you, than the average celebrity does from Kevin Bacon. Even if you aren’t seeing the [...]

Yes it’s me, your long lost intern, sorry I lost touch with you guys. Getting a wife, job and a dog has really proved to take up quite a bit of my time. I guess it’s part of growing up. I hate growing up, I want to go back to golf classes and friendly games [...]

Saturday night at the movies, just coming out for the theatre and a fight breaks out right in front of me. Two dudes standing in line for tickets just started teeing off on each other. There was none of the usual handbags at dawn, stand off while they yell threats at each other. They [...]

Tired, hungry and full o’ chocolate.
Who knew standing around could be so exhausting? I volunteered at CPY’s Truffle Shuffle and I was scheduled to help with directing the parking lot and handing out truffles to the runners at the end. As it happened, I turned up a little early and ended up cutting up about [...]
It’s the weekend

After putting in a couple of hours behind the desk, this arvo I’m going to watch the Ducks play the Bears. Tomorrow, I’m helping out at the CPY Truffle Shuffle, handing out chockies to the folks who complete the 4 mile course. Maybe I’ll be able to snag a few extra truffles for myself!

Quickly following last night’s strangeness, I was driving back from the gym this arvo and parked outside of Cafe Zenon was a red Honda Civic covered in fur. Yes, fur. A bit strip of animal hide (perhaps… hopefully… fake) running from the bonnet to the boot (hood to trunk, you Yanks!).
Unfortunately, I was without the [...]

Member Spotlight
It's been awhile since we had a BootsnAll member stop by the office. However, thank to a recent post on the message boards wondering where the Boots Crew were these days, we managed to arrange lunch with Bideshi, aka Mike (blue shirt below).
With a couple of stints working in South …

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
