Temple Bar
Stopping by the Temple Bar Coffeehouse after my Sunday morning show. I has a crazy 90 minutes of breaking news at the end.

Soup on Friday
Here’s my savory tomato ravioli soup from Butch-N-Nellie’s in Sacramento. I liked the cheese-filled pasta and the hint of basil.
Lite Lunch
Doing a lite lunch at Butch-N-Nellie’s in Sacramento. It feels so nice to eat outside. That’s after being cooped up in the newsroom

The Mighty Bulldog
More scenes from last weekend’s Asparagus Festival in Stockton. My station was a big sponsor of the event.
That pooch loves his board.

Sausage Plate
Loving my bratwurst and wieinerwurst at Little Prague in Davis. Reminds me of our night of sausages in Prague.
Czech Beer
Trying out the Klauster at Little Prague in Davis. A nice, spicy brew.
Pushing Myself
I clocked another 3 miles of running by Alamo Creek this morning. I needed the cardio after my deep-fried eating fest in Stockton this weekend.
Last week, I landed my axel at Vacaville Ice Sports. I felt like a rock star. I also feel like I’ve made so much progress since I first stepped on the ice in Topeka. When I was competing, this jump was my Achilles’ heel. It messed with my head and it took me forever to master it. About three years, I think. But it also serves as the basically building block for more difficult jumps. After landing the damn thing, I was able to move on to those jumps and more.

I think I’ll managed to get all my double jumps back after this. I’m super happy with last weekend’s sharpening job on my blades. I thought it was worth the 1 1/2 drive to Novato. (yes, Mark drove…but that’s not the point!)

Food Fest in Stockton
A hot day in Stockton for the Asparagus Festival. It felt better by the water. Tasted deep-fried veggies and more.

Filipino Food in Vacaville
I finally tried the food at the FS Oriental Store on Nut Tree Rd. I ordered the two combo special with Chicken Adobo and Dinuguan. It wasn’t bad for a hearty lunch. But I like my Dinuguan with a spicy kick. This serving (on the left) was a little bland. So was the adobo. Still, if I’m lazy and I need to satisfy that meaty craving, I suppose I’d come back for seconds.

Two Bad Waiters
This week - I stumbled on this funny food video on Serious Eats: ‘Waiters Who Are Nauseated by Food’
The skit is from the Dana Carvey Show and it features my two favorite funny men on TV: Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell.
They’re outrageous without being ridiculous. I love checking out old school video with these comedians. It’s interesting to compare their comedy origins to their current stints on NBC and Comedy Central.
