Okay, one more completely trite thought before the decade is done.

Tim — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:13:10 +0000

So earlier this morning I asked myself, Tim, what was your most frustrating moment of the decade? And one moment immediately came to mind.

Blazers and Lakers, 2000 Western Conference Finals … Game 7, Fourth Quarter. Kobe’s Alley-Oop to Shaq, sealing victory and sending the Lakers (and not my Blazers) to the NBA Finals. I still cannot get past this. Seriously. It ails me.

Maybe I didn’t take the question seriously enough. I’ll think on this some more.

The Man in the Shed – Moving days are here again.

It seems that Jesse, aka Handyman No. 2, aka the Man in the Shed, has moved out.

Earl’s backyard seems sorta lonely out there without him.

The UK had the Queen Mum, and now we have Oprah. Nice.

ELC Hall of Fame – Studs Terkel, RIP

Tim — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 00:40:17 +0000

I met Studs Terkel once. I was a bellhop in a Seattle hotel. He walked up to me in the lobby, cocked his head to the side and said loudly … “where’s the bar?”

I pointed around the corner and smiled, because that’s exactly how you want to meet a guy like Studs Terkel.

ELC Road Trip – Listing in Gig Harbor

Tim — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 05:44:00 +0000

I was in Gig Harbor recently, and saw this little sailboat. I asked, and was told that her name used to be “Roaring Bessie,” and that she was originally a gilnetter converted into a pleasure boat. Nice lines. Swoopy sheer.

Now named Vixen, and probably the oldest floating boat in Gig Harbor, she’s sitting very low on the waterlines. Probably filled with water, and rotting quickly.

Say good night, Roaring Bessie.

I was repulsed and drawn, at the same time.

ELC Rainy Day Post No. 1 – Seeking a bit of inspiration.

Tim — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:52:33 +0000

I guess the rain inspired me to go find this photo of Andy Kaufman. I can’t seem to stop looking at it either. I’m guessing that he was a lefty.

And then, there’s this.
