Thanks to rising oil prices and increased costs of food, many folks are feeling the squeeze in their grocery budgets. As such, Spam had over a 14% increase in sales this quarter as people look for cheaper ways to feed their families. Spam, of course, is also the product credited for the slang term used to reference junk email. The name resonated with people after a Monte Python sketch referenced the product over a hundred times.

Wendy and I have always thought it would be cool to open a buttrock brewery. While we may never actually achieve the goal, we do find it fun to dream up the kind of beers we would have on tap.
Perhaps one day we will achieve our dream, but until then, here are a few of our ideas:
Slager
Hef Leppard
Iron Marzen
Motley Brue
Van Weizen, StrIPA
Great Witte
QueensRye
Sabastian Bock
Do you have any others? Leave your buttrock beer styles in the comments!

Today, for the first time ever, I found myself getting a Pedicure. Wendy talked me into it since, technically, we are on vacation (though we haven’t yet left the neighborhood). Honestly, I’m not sure why I waited so long to get one of these. You sit in an electric massage chair with your feet in a jetted foot spa. There is some kind of mixture in the foot spa that makes the water blue and comforting (hopefully it wasn’t a Tidy Bowl Tablet!). After they trim up and file your toe nails, they scrub your feet and massage them. Next, they lotion your feet and calves, rub the lotion in, and dry you off. It must have taken about 30 to 40 minutes total and was quite relaxing. Aside from Rachael Ray and Oprah on the television, it was a great experience. For around $20 total out of pocket, it sure beats getting your hair cut.

The Chinese would say that 2008 is the year of the Rat. Here in Seattle, 2008 is going to be the year of the CrapMonkey. Thanks for all of your support over the years and apologies for my limited and sporadic publishing as of late. We’ll get back into the swing of things soon. Hope your holidays were great and have a wonderful new year! Thanks to Pete for the artwork!

We moved on to a different hotel, so I’ve removed the live webcam. That said, posted above is a brief clip of the Leavenworth Lighting on Saturday night. You will need to install Silverlight to view - but it’s a quick and easy install.

I just wanted to share this error message I received on my machine today. I don’t even recall what threw the error, but I love the way it’s worded. I wasn’t trying to destroy anything at the time…
