So, it is Friday. I have been in pain for a solid month and I have not had any Gu Gu in three weeks. I know I can do nothing about the pain, but I can do something about the sushi. Something about that place just seems to make things better. My photo of the day for day 274 is of an arbitrary rainbow that appeared on the way home from going to Gu Gu Sushi. It had not been raining at all, so I was a little surprised by its appearance.
I am such a slacker at times. I had full intentions of keeping my picture a day project somewhat current while traveling through Europe, but long days and slow Internet connections made it rather difficult. So it is time to play catch up again. On day 258 we boarded a bus for a three day tour of west and southern Ireland. Since I had never driven on the wrong side of the road intentionally before, much less with a car that had the steering wheel on the wrong side, it was decided that this would be the best way to …
All Ireland Football Finals Photos From Dublin Sunday was the GAA’s All Ireland Football finals at Croke Park, featuring Cork vs Down. About 83,000 people attended, and it made for a definite party atmosphere in the Dublin area. Since we did not have tickets to the game, we started the day off by visiting Trinity College and checking out the Book of Kells. Although no photos were allowed in the library it was very cool and if you ever make it to Dublin, it is worth the visit. After the game started, we walked over to Croke Park and got …
Many years ago, I considered opening a breakfast only restaurant. I got this idea after spending a few days up in the Lake Arrowhead, Big Bear area. Something about that area made me think that if I were to do this, this would be the right place to do it. Since then, I have gone up there at least a dozen times. Each time, I wonder if I should go for it. My photo of the day for day 241 is a place I have driven by numerous times, but never noticed. It is obviously a sign, but is it …
Photo of the Day, Project 365 [adrotate group=”6″] July 2010 Photos Sorry this is late, but there was a legitimate reason which I will not go into here. July was a pretty active month. It started off with some friends taking me out to dinner and then to see Devo in concert. It was pretty fun. I should probably put up a gallery from the show. The next day I flew to Indiana to visit Tanya and to participate in the annual GotWebHost.com 4th of July Extravaganza. Tanya flew home with me to attend VidCon and then we spent several …
The thing about riding a motorcycle in Wyoming, is their weather is really unpredictable and is rarely pleasant. There is a lot of wide open spaces which means very little shelter. I have had several incidents in WY that involved their weather and the inability to find anywhere to hide. Today was another of those days. It started off great. The skies were threatening but I was able to pretty much avoid any significant rain for three or four hours. Then my luck began to dissipate. I sat out a rain storm in Rawlins, then decided to try and make …
Day 219 of my photo a day project. A good friend of mine, that I had not seen in far too long contacted me and asked if I wanted to hang out. I naturally said yes, and we decided to meet up and go out for a late lunch, early dinner. As I have always spoken highly of Pancho’s in Manhattan Beach, and for some reason I had never taken her there, it was decided that this would be our destination. In keeping with the theme of the weekend, we took the Night Train out to Manhattan. My photo of …
Anyone that is paying any attention knows I have a thing for Gu Gu Sushi and Roll in Hermosa Beach. They have the freshest fish and the most unique rolls anywhere. They are all melt in your mouth good. Last week I went in and discovered they had named a roll after me. Today I came in and found that they had renamed the roll the gotbaddog.com roll. Talk about viral marketing! My picture of the day for day 215 is the menu at Gu Gu Sushi, advertising the gotbaddog.com roll. It is a very tasty roll.
When Tanya comes to visit, I try to mix it up with the places we eat. Some places I have introduced her to have become regular stops when she is in town. One place we were both recently introduced to is Itzik Hagadol Grill. Delicious food, but a long drive, so we have only been there three or four times. If I lived closer it would be more frequent, for sure. Day 163 of my picture a day shows me getting ready to enjoy a Mixed Meat skewer (chicken thighs, lamb, kabab, hanging tender, fillet). Toda to Marina for the …
Bonded with one of my little brothers tonight over sushi. Day 144 of Project 365.
