A few days ago, I learned that my friends Mike, Anthony, Phil (and possibly Phil’s wife, Charity) are all going to be participating in something called Warrior Dash – a 3.19 mile obstacle course that includes rappelling, mud and barbed wire, cargo nets and fire.
On Saturday, Liz and I trekked up to Heinz Orchard, an apple orchard that my friend Anthony runs. For anyone who remembers the classic Vending Machine Challenge… yes, it’s that same Anthony. Once a proud webmaster for Q101, he traded in pixels for apples, and manages 800 trees, tends bees, and does all manner of farm-related stuff. It wasn’t really…
In the spirit of Annual Experimental Peanut Butter Jelly Feastravaganza, I present to you our newest group-meal: Supercalifragilisticexpiali-DELICIOUS!

Well, I mentioned them last November, when they were voted one of the 10 Most Dangerous Toys of 2004. And today? Right…
Today, we had meeting back in the office, downtown. Keep in mind that up until now, all I’ve seen of the place has been the pictures Phil sent of the construction progress, two months back. Barring that, we’ve all seen nothing of our new office area since we moved out. Got to see a ton of folks again, who I…
