Oh, how I missed thee, Presidio GC.  You messed up our tee time and made us wait 3 hours… but you comped the round so it’s all good.  We called the club house a dozen times to complain about the group in front that took an HOUR to play the first two holes.  The golfing experience should have been terrible, but the course was so beautiful it made up for it.  Not to mention it was FREE.  And it was a Monday.

01/16/2012: Presidio GC- the grass is so perfect, it almost looks like carpet.

01/16/2012: Love this course.

01/16/2012: Beer, good. Golf, good. Beer + Golf = Good Life

We took a last minute Napa trip with the twins, google co-workers, Peter & Jen!  It was a rough morning for a few, luckily I ducked out a little early being that I had to drive.  I’m getting very good at leaving parties early (early as in midnight….), which wasn’t always something I could do in the past.  We’ll see if this is a trend I can keep in 2012.

01/15/2012: First stop: Hess Winery! I've been wanting to make a visit here for at least a couple years now! Well worth the extra 30 minute drive!

01/15/2012: Hess has an art gallery on the second and third floors, and the building itself is pretty cool in that it is somehow integrated with the winery.

01/15/2012: Hess, beautiful inside as well outside!

01/15/2012: Second stop: Lunch @ V. Sattui!

01/15/2012: Last winery stop, my favorite Silverado! It was a little more crowded than usual, and my usual people weren't there... oh wells, still great service. Peter is awake!

01/15/2012: Dinner @ Bistro Jeanty in Yountville to finish off the Napa trip!

01/11/2012: My craving for beer ended up getting a group together for dinner @ Pizzeria Delfina! I miss the days of grabbing dinner in this area with Boram, but am glad to have other good friends to continue the tradition! Lower left picture is so funny- typical Adri & Will interaction... + Jen's indifference!

01/11/2012: Amazing pizza, lasagna, meatball & salad!

01/11/2012: Round 2 @ the Grove!

01/11/2012: First there were two glasses, then three, then four... then there was the girl that just drank straight from the pitcher.

 

I wouldn’t have joined so late on a school night…. but since Doug is leaving soon, and I am moving soon, and because I <3 Rickhouse.

01/05/2012: Rickhouse, a Bourbon & Branch product I believe along with the Burritt Room.

01/05/2012: Are bars always this crowded at midnight on weekdays?

01/05/2012: Best bartender ever. I handed him my cc, signed a copy and then handed him the cc right back. He went out of his way to find me to give me the cc back!

01/05/2012: Real Hendricks & Tonic (with Fever Tree Tonic) and the Freud Project with a giant ice cube!

It’s been a long time coming… to say that the last few years of being a Michigan football fan, a Michigan native, and a Michigan alumnus was painful would fall short of being an understatement.  And to think that I had it bad as a student where it was a perfect season with a Rose Bowl win or bust.  The way we got to the Sugar Bowl was certainly not the way I wanted, nor was the win all that comforting- but a win is a win, and a BCS bowl win at that.  To say that every team that has won a BCS bowl game deserved it wouldn’t fall true, and it is certainly debatable whether we really deserved to be here in the first place.  But when life puts you in a good place and your life is on a winning streak, you don’t ask questions… you get up and run with it for as long as you can because a losing streak is inevitably right around the corner.

01/03/2012: Well, there goes eating healthy in 2012.... and drinking less beer. Aaron, "I can really go for some Jack in the Box tacos." Me, "Ooh, a Jack in the Box! Let's eat."

01/03/2012: Sugar Bowl @ the 'Stone with guest Michigan fans Will & Grace!
