Join me for an inspirational breakfast

2009-09-18T20:42:00.000-07:00

You like breakfast and coffee, right? :-) Well, join me Tuesday the 29th, and I'll pour the coffee...

Here's a bit of information you may not know about me... I'm a rabid fan of a non-profit organization called Art with Heart.

Art with Heart uses the arts (self portrait workshops, self expression journals, etc.) to help kids in crisis work through their emotions during extremely difficult situations. They have helped thousands of kids over the past 12 years deal with profound challenges such as serious illness, homelessness, poverty, abuse and neglect.

Art with Heart's annual breakfast features a wonderful and moving program illustrating how artistic/creative programs inspire children during times of crisis. Trust me - this program will inspire you!

The breakfast is free, and guests will be invited to make a contribution. Most people give at least $150. Some people give even more. Please know that any contribution you make will be greatly appreciated.

Please email me ( andy at three tree point dot com ) if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope you can join me!

The details:
Art with Heart Annual Breakfast
The Westin Hotel, Seattle
September 29th, Breakfast 7:30am - 9am

The bump... is gone!

2009-05-21T17:22:00.000-07:00

Did you ever notice the bump on my head? I'm kinda tall, so perhaps you missed it. Of course, my lack of hair makes my bump more pronounced than most.... I caught one guy staring at it.

How did i get it you ask? Jana with a frying pan? Windsurfing in Hood River? School of hard knocks? Who knows... but it was slowly getting bigger! So that sucker had to go.

Jana and I just watched Farrah Fawcett's cancer video (gulp!), so perhaps that's why I thought documenting my bump removal would be a good idea!?? Jana is disgusted. "Who would want to look at this?"

The top of my head. Notice the lack of hair. Notice the bump?

The blood, ohhh, the gore!

Finally, bought a boat!

2009-04-16T10:21:00.000-07:00

We've been living at the beach for 10 years... and we've never owned a boat. For the past few years we've been borrowing my father-in-laws row boat, but it would take days to row to Tides Tavern or Port Orchard! Here's the description of the new boat we're going to call "barely making it":

1986 18' Tiderunner cuddy cabin with extended transom, 115 Yamaha OB w/600 original hours, serviced at Auburn Marine, canvas 3 side enclosure, fishbox, rodholders, wiring for downriggers. Lorance GPS/Sonar Fishfinder, Icom VHF Radio. Since purchased in 2005 also added the following: New Sleeper seats, new upholstery, new dual batteries and switch, new steering cable (2007), new motor control cables, new fuel tank 37 gallons, new dual bilge pumps with FL switches, new trailer bearings and leaf springs. Boat includes anchor w/rode/flares/bumpers/lines/life vests/rail mounts/wiring for down rigger/swim step/trailering cover. Also replaced much of the wiring and tuned prop. Outstanding fishing boat, motor runs excellent.

Please put your seat back forward for takeoff!

About one minute after takeoff the entire row of seats across the
aisle from me tipped backwards! The bolts holding the seats to the
floor stripped, with the force of takeoff (heading up, up and away)
the broken row was pinned to the row behind them. Luckily, nobody was
sitting behind the broken row, or their legs would have been crushed.
Needless to say, it was an Alaska flight. The flight attendants had
never seen anything like it.

Two stalls down from the addictive doughnut stand is the best NY Deli
in the market. Huge servings of meat, fresh rye bread and 100% new
york slang.

This place was always a favorite of mine, but a bit expensive. But
now, they've launched a Recession Lunch Special and the NY Deli now
offers the best lunch in the market under $5. Hands down. The best.

Toasted ham and cheese (ham stacked high) with all the trimmings
$2.99. A cup of homemade split pea with ham, sausage and other great
chunks of meat $1.50. Total price $4.80 (including tax). Sooo damn good.

This is my first post regarding "5 best lunch places in Pike Place

I'm back at work, feeling great, glad to be out of bed! It still hurts
to sit for more than 15 minutes so I stand...

Going in for back surgery. Finally.

The past seven days have been a blur of pain meds and naps... it started at Elsa's wedding last weekend...

Saturday, Dancing at the wedding:
My ruptured disc was finally feeling better... I should have spent the entire night siting in an ergonomic chair relaxing - but no - after a few drinks i was square dancing with Jana. At times it felt like slam dancing... we immediately agreed to take some form of dance lessons, cause "dancing shouldn't hurt".

Ohhhh but it did...

Sunday: soooo sore.

Monday: A dead-spot appeared on my left bum, about the size of a quarter.

Tuesday: Flew to San Francisco and back for business meetings. Popping pain pills - pain shooting down my leg.

Wednesday: Left bum is numb, numbness going down leg and into foot. Doctor orders a late night MRI.

Thursday: MRI worse than before. A quarter sized chunk of disc is crushing the nerve - operation a must. Doctor starts operation at 8pm - takes longer than expected.

Friday: Discharged from hospital at noon.

And who knows what day it is now... :-) The last few days have been a blur. I've been taking pain pills, getting lots of rest and working when awake... that's all for now... time for bed!

Just me and my trendy beverage enjoying our time together before a
flight to Portland.

Im kinda looking forward to my flight cause Horizon offers free wine
on their puddle jumpers. I can guzzle two glasses of merlot in 10 min.
Good skill to have.

The last 72 hours

2008-08-29T16:53:00.000-07:00

I've been touring San Fran for the last three days, pitching investors, popping pain pills, going to bed at 8:30, and missing Jana and the kids. My license has expired, so I was felt-up by the airport security guys. Upon landing (moments ago) john called from the office, water is dripping near the white board... Ugh! But overall, I had a great trip, met some wonderful investors/partners.

Neighborhood Raft

Neighborhood Raft

A few neighborhood kids were pounding nails into their raft as they floated towards the point. I yelled "I'll call the coast guard in an hour!" they didn't seem to think that was funny.

In other news... My sister stayed with us last night. She performed three physical therapy sessions on my back in 24 hours. I think I'm feeling better, but it's tough to tell, pop another pain pill, ice pack, relax. I'm getting a spinal shot this tuesday or the following tuesday. The doc said I could watch the needle enter my spine on a tv screen... I wonder if he'll let me take a photo with my iPhone? :-)
