Part 1: The wildlife in Alaska from our fishing trip

In Part I of the Alaskan trip, I wrote about the amazing quantity and quality of fish that we caught.   In this version, I am going to include photos of the ridiculous animal viewing experiences that we had.  

From bears to whales to otters to bald eagles to killer mosquitoes, we saw both a crazy amount and diversity of wildlife.   Check out the pictures and a few of the videos below.   Alaska….what else can you say?

New movies coming to theaters that I am psyched about

This weekend we went to see Burn after Reading and despite the fact that I thought it was VERY SLOW, there were some great trailers that made me excited about the next few months. 

Three movie trailers below are some of the ones I am most excited about.

Body of Lies

The Express:

 

Miracle at St. Anna

 

PS, does anyone think it is strange that you cant embed trailers from any of the major movies sites (MSN Movies, Yahoo Movies, etc…)?

Is winter already here?

I woke up this morning expecting to see the Sound and the Needle in bright blue skies and this is what I see instead….

 

Now that is no fun.   Do you think that winter is already here?

Here is a collection of pictures from this summer showing what it used to look like:

Views from Chambers Bay

Two weekends ago, I went with a friend of mine who was visiting from SF to play Chambers Bay golf course in Tacoma.   What a spectacular golf course.

It is slated to host the US Open in 2015 despite the fact that it has only been open for 1.5 years.  That is an amazing feat to say the least.

Check out the photos I took from the 19th hole using my cell phone…  Sick!

Live Nation Widget for the Showbox

A cool reminder widget from Live Nation.   I set it for the Showbox which is one of the best music venues in Seattle.
