Food Forage Park in Seattle
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2012/02/29/147668557/seattles-first-urban-food-forest-will-be-free-to-forage
EDIT: I guess the park has already been established and is flourishing but has not yet been opened to the public. Hopefully soon.

A few pics from around home.
Just a few snaps from Sunday 7/21. Walked about 7 miles, checking out the city.
The sound. It was a great day outside. 72 and sunny.
The fair downtown with the Capital building behind it.
Another shot of downtown.

Sorry for the lack of updates.
I have been extremely busy and more important things have taken precedence. I have a friend who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer a year ago. She was told she would have 5 or so years and the cancer came back with a vengeance in less then a year. She is a great woman who always had a smile and a positive outlook on life and inspired me to try and be the same. It is unfair and wrong and all I can say is she is going out with so much more grace and aplomb then I could ever hope to.
I drove to Spokane last weekend to see her one final time. It was incredibly sad but good at the same time. How many people get to actually say goodbye to their loved ones and friends? She wanted to have a party and many people came. It was very informal and allowed me to meet some of her friends and family I would never have met otherwise. Good people. Unfortunately she was not able to make so we went to her. I love you Carrie!
The two weekends before last I finally got off my butt and built my Dawson inspired TV console. I made a few mistakes and ended up changing it from how I wanted to but I learned a lot. I just finished sanding it last night and wiping it down so it will get stained tonight and poly'd tomorrow. Pictures imminent.

After work walk.
There is a natural park about 7 blocks from my house. It's a great little area for walks and such. Not really good for hiking as there are no hills but still a decent 30 minute loop around the park.
Here are some pics I took in chronological order. It was a great day out.
This tree had grown over the path an into the ground on the other side of the path. Pretty cool nature, pretty cool.
It is hard to tell in the picture but there were 4 or 5 kids, looked like young teenagers, playing and climbing the tree. It made my heart happy to see kids still did this sometimes. And I did not see one ipad or phone anywhere.

A great Saturday so far.
I was only able to sleep in about 45 minutes later then the time I normally get up for work. But I was wide awake and have a ton of energy so I figured I would get the day started. Cleaned the house up some, got some sun tea going out on the porch, and walked over to my favorite bakery. Typical order there, poppy seed bagel with cream cheese and an 8 oz. mocha. 8 oz. does not seem like a lot but for me it is plenty. I usually don't even finish it.
I did a cannoli for later though.
Can't remember if I posted the pics of the garden seating area at the bakery but here they are.
Across the street they were having an annual locally grown plant sale. I thought that was pretty cool so I checked it out. I bought a little lavender plant and the lady who was selling them told me she names all her plants. Apparently my plant is named Lucinda Lavender. Hippies. Gotta love em!
After I got back I jumped in the car and headed to Home Depot to get a few things. They had a clearance sale and I got a lot of really good stuff for $10. Grabbed some potting soil and green beans, stopped for an ice cream, and now this.

I has an ice cream.
And now back to work on the mirror frame and maybe a walk later. And beer. I definitely feel like a beer on this warm day. Hope everyone else is having a great Saturday so far.

Not sure why...
But google and blogger have removed all videos. What the hell, they are from their sites!
Mmmm....cake.
Last night I made dinner for Sarah and myself. Caesar salad and kale-sausage penne with a lemon creme sauce. The sauce was pretty good, Sarah really enjoyed it, but I thought it needed more lemon. Still, turned out well for something I had never made before. I would make it again, I like that you can use pretty much all fresh ingredients. Definitely not the healthiest meal to be sure but worth it.
For dessert I made a pistachio-cherry bunt cake. It was good as well but definitely needs more pistachio flavoring.
Next time I make the cake I will do it all from scratch instead of using the Betty Crocker cake mix. That way I can add a lot more pistachio flavor. It would go well with a little pistachio ice cream.
It was a good dinner and good conversation. Good luck on your interview Sarah!

Time to build something.
It has been a while since I have built anything but I have that itch to do so. I am finally going to start on my Dawson entertainment unit inspired by Pottery Barn's INSANELY overpriced console. Their consoles start at $1000 and up. Pretty sure I can make mine, with a new jig for making pocket holes included, for less than $200. And it will look just as good. May even be better in fact because Pottery Barn does not list what wood they use at all. It does not even say it is a hardwood, which most likely means it is a cheap pine or white wood.
I got most of the lumber yesterday and going back with a friend and his truck today to get the 2 sheets of maple plywood I will need for the panels. I would like to build the large version but I decided with the cost of lumber right now and being that I have not built this yet, I would go with the smaller 50" version. It will be plenty big for my use right now and if it turns out as well as I think it will then I will build the big one this summer and sell the smaller one. Or put it in the guest bedroom. Or whatever. You don't know!
Here are the plans I am going to be using:
http://www.thedesignconfidential.com/2013/01/free-diy-furniture-plans-build-pottery-barn-inspired-dawson-small-media-console?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheDesignConfidential+%28The+Design+Confidential%29
Long link I know but the site does not have a blogger button.
And here is the actual Pottery Barn one:
http://www.potterybarn.com/products/antique-wood-media-console/
I most likely will not be distressing this piece. As much as lumber is I would like to show it off more I think. Although the simplistic design of the piece does suit it to the aged looked quite nice.
Tomorrow I am also hosting a game, beer, and bbq at my house. Any who want to are welcome to come by for ribs and burgers! And I guess I could be persuaded to share some beers.
Pics of the build up to follow. I know you wait with bated breath.

Yelp Hot Nerd Dance Party
As promised here are a few pics of the Nerd party. I guess it was HOT nerd neon party. I only heard 2 out of 3 of those. Can you guess which ones? :)
My friends Sarah and Alicia.
As you can see they got 3 out of 3.
And here is me doing my best bob and weave to avoid the camera. God knows I love pics. My pocket protector turned out really good. Did you know drunk people love snapping suspenders? Fact. Straight up.
Alicia and Sarah again out on the dance floor.
And finally Alicia and I holding the poster I stole for her. Yes, that is man bush in that poster. That man in the poster is named Jake Shears. Oh, the irony.
Also, as you can see I look like a giant next to Alicia!
It was a great time. And thankfully Sarah drove us so we could have a great time while there! $1 Bacardi drinks make the money go a looooong way. But it was all for a local charity so we, um, had to drink a lot. For charities sake.

A musical music post of music. And stuff.
I am really digging this song right now. Mmm... strategic placement of the f word.
Also, this song I am obsessed with at the moment. Just makes me happy and stuff.
I went to a charity dance Yelp had last night with some friends. Met some good peeps, had a lot of fun. It was a neon nerd dance party. I went full classic nerd. I did not take any self pics, because as anyone who knows me knows that I hate pics of myself, but others did. I will post them up when I get a hold of them.

Dreams crushed.
There are manatees all over this part of Florida apparently. I did not get to see any at the beach today though. I was dreaming I would jump off the bridge going to Anna Maria island and the magical sea cow would appear. It would be too long to swim back to the shore so Mr. Manatee would rescue me and swim me back to the beach on his regal back. We would become best friends and have great sea adventures together. And when it was time to go home from vacation we would say our goodbyes sadly and wave with promises to meet every year at the same place under the bridge.
I will miss you unmet magical Mr. Manatee!

To The Mountain!
Friday at work I started feeling kind of bad. I figured it was just tummy rumbles but just in case I figured I better start sucking on my zinc lozenges and green/white tea. I left after work for Portland to meet up with some friends and hit up Timberline Saturday. Unfortunately I woke up Saturday with a cold. I felt pretty bad and being woken up by a very enthusiastic (and clearly a morning person) Scott after 4 hours or so of sleep was not helpful. But I managed and this is what I looked like about 5 minutes after.
Yep. Sick. But on we went with a brief stop at the Safeway to load up on more dayquil and zinc. I kind of flitted in and out on the hour drive to Timberline at Mt. Hood. It had been raining a couple days before we got there but it turned out to be beautiful springish weather. Warm enough to get away with a light jacket and flannel. Sun was out occasionally and the cloud layer was low. Great visibility.
When we got out of the truck to gear up an older couple offered to sell us tickets for $50 a pop. Not bad, Timberline is usally $67 a ticket. Off to a good start. I had new boots I had never worn. They were a little stiff but I had been wearing them around the house while cleaning Thursday and they actually felt pretty good.
After getting tickets and everything you can ski/board down to the first lifts. The snow was in pretty good shape, groomed and packed. I was feeling kind of numb at this point so all was well with the world. Scott and I were boarding and Jeremy, Sabrina, and Zach were skiing.
The views were nice on the quads.
I was starting to feel pretty bad again a few hours in. This is what I looked like before "self medicating" with non traditional means.
And this is after a break in the trees with meds up to and including some Session winter brews. :)
You can see the top of Mt. Hood here.
It was beautiful at the top but the snow was harsh. They did not groom the runs above the tree line and with the rains it made the snow very hard and rough. It was like sliding on sharp ice. I actually ate it a couple times because I was not able to cut very well with the snow being so hard. And when I went down it was hard to get up because your arms would just punch through the snow about a foot deep. We only made one run from the top, we learned our lesson.
I had a good time for the half day I made it before getting laid out with this nasty cold. I probably should have stayed in town and rested but it was worth it. Still had fun and glad I did it. Now it is off to much warmer climates and some much needed sun!
Enjoy a few more pics of the views.

I made that
I get bored just watching tv alone sometimes so I learned how to crochet from a youtube video. I started a blanket first but it is taking forever and I wanted to actually finish something this year. So I made a beanie. I don't think it turned out too bad.

On The Pitch
My first rugby practice was last night. It was raining, cold, and muddy. And I loved it. I am a little sore today but I love that too. I have not had any luck finding any Krav Maga Worldwide certified schools here so I decided to try this. It was great. Playing in the mud and rain reminded me of when I was kid and we would play mudball in the parks in Mesa.
In Phoenix they always used irrigation to water the local parks. They would fill up the parks with a couple of feet of water once a week to try and keep the grass looking at least a crisp brown. After a few hours to a day the water would soak up until about six inches or a foot remained. This is when the games would start. After school we would grab a football and some friends and have it. Scores and rules didn't really matter. It was all about getting dirty. As you can imagine two feet of water on dry cracked dirt created a perfect deep mud layer. You could tackle and be tackled without worry of injury, it was like sinking in to a really soft mattress.A mattress with mosquitoes. There were a lot of mosquitoes.
It was also a lot of fun to ride your bike down the hill as fast as possible and just eat it hard. Good times. Also, skim boarding. Look it up on YouTube kiddos.

Hello everyone, I am Geoff. And I am a post-itaholic.
I left work yesterday and realized I needed a number off a post-it on my desk. So naturally I called my coworker and asked him to find it for me. After being on hold for a couple minutes he says okay, here is the number. It was the wrong number, I said no the other post-it. It's yellow. With lines. Another couple of minutes and then a frustrated voice saying they are all yellow! No, not true, some are green I replied. The coworker then counted all the post-its on my desk and there 49 little sticky notes. He gave up.
Then it hit me. I have a problem. I have a friend with a similar problem and I am not too proud to say I even contributed by giving her a gift of many different size and colors of sticky notes once. I should be ashamed! I guess I need to find a new way, a better way, before I bury myself in bite sized vague reminders of messages I can not really even understand after two days.
Any suggestions?

Confession
I have always been honest as much as I can with people. Some say brutally honest at times. I think I do this because so much of my life I have been lied to about my family, our history, everything, that I just want the truth from the get go. So if people ask me something I will tell them. The only problem with this is that while I am honest with everyone else, I usually am not with myself. Sometimes the truth hurts but you just have to accept it. Otherwise you are just stuck in an endless loop. It has been hard work looking at that cycle and changing its course but so far so good and I am learning to be happier because of it.
I will always do my best to be honest with people though. However, I have learned sometimes it is okay to hold back a little. So if you ask me something I will tell you, but I will try to be nicer about how I go about telling you. Deal?

I think therapy is like self help with a moderator. I tried group therapy again and I am still thinking I do not care much for it. It was nice to get some perspective and listen to other peoples dealings with depression, but it so far it has kept devolving in to collective bitching without much actual therapy. I much prefer the individual sessions. So far I think they have helped me tremendously.
I found out yesterday that one of my friends who just finished chemo treatments about 8 months ago has cancer again. She is a strong healthy woman and I am praying for her. Trying to be positive is hard but I am going to attempt to not give in to the easy negative emotions and just picture her having a nice long life holding her grand babies. She deserves that. Everyone does. Cancer is a major bitch and can go fuck itself.

Who knew?
I was not even aware until yesterday Wenatchee had an airport. It is one gate, one security checkpoint. I was told to be here two hours early because the staff that checks you in are also the staff that guide the planes in. So if you are not here before a plane arrives, you are s.o.l. How quaint. Hey, free wifi though!
I think the TSA staff here (all 3 of them) must have been bored because they decided they needed to search all of my bags. And wipe them down with the little make up pads they have. There are 4 others here so clearly I am the obvious threat. :) They were particularly interested in my padlock thumb drive. They looked over it like a cromagnon would look at fire for the first time. In the end they either gave up trying to unlock all its wonders or saw something shiny. I made it through the next ten to feet to here.
See. Quaint.
I am having dinner in Seattle tonight. Anyone ever heard of Judy Fu's Snappy Dragon restaurant? I am skeptical but open minded. Let's do this Judy Fu. Do not disappoint me!

Score
I had to fly to Wenatchee today to work on some equipment. When I got to my hotel my reservation was screwed up so they gave me a suite with a hot tub in it. It was glorious. And I may or may not have eaten my dinner in there while watching a movie. No judging with your judging eyes! You don't even know!

The next big project.
I need a new entertainment unit and I have been looking around for a while. Almost all of them are made out of mdf or have mdf parts. That is the crappy manufactured stuff you find in Walmart furniture. Even the $600 pieces still have mdf parts. Screw that, I can make my own. I wanted something simple but nice looking. I am not a huge fan of modern style furniture really.
I was looking through pics and found this.
It is from Pottery Barn. I really like the simple style and all the drawers. At first I was like maybe I should just buy it and save some time. Until I saw the price. $1,699.00! For that? It's just mitered boards and plywood! No fancy dovetails, no intricate detailing. All this is why I like it but honestly, that thing probably cost them less then $75 to make! I think I can do it for less then $100. The only difference is I probably won't be distressing it as much as they did, if at all. Nice wood furniture will last years and years and trust me, it will get plenty distressed on its own.
So what do you think? Does anyone else like the style?

Mystery Project Revealed
I finally finished the project I had been working on forever just before Christmas. I took the inspiration from a friends Pinterest. It was probably one of the hardest things I have built.
The pictures below do not really do the piece justice in my humble opinion. It looks much better in person. I mounted it as you can see in the last photos. I have already had requests for people asking if I can make them one. I may at some point but I think I want a little rest first. Leave a comment and let me know what you think, be it good or bad. I am proud of it. The verse of poem on the front of the mantel is the last verse from Frost's Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening.
A better pic of the front and detail:
I made dinner for my friend Cali the other night. She was up from Florida visiting family for the holidays. I had not seen her in over a year so it was nice to see her in person and catch up. She is an elementary school teacher. We talked about the recent shootings and how it has affected her life. Nightmares, trouble sleeping, etc. Kind of put things in perspective seeing it from that view, I never really thought about it that way. Having to go to work everyday and worry about your safety in a field that should be one of the safest environments outside of your home. It truly is a sad thing.
