If you can find this wine, it will become your new favorite wine.
The dinner scene from the movie Big Night. My friend Barb, inspired by this movie, made Timpano. It weighed 18 pounds and it was delicious.
My cats prove, once again, that it requires very little effort to create a highly entertaining event.
Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams… who looks inside, awakes.

8.2009 - Released the Mozilla Creative Collective
9.2009 - Took a 2 week vacation in British Columbia (Yes, taking a vacation is an accomplishment)

2. Implement 3 business models for my side projects
3. Become more proficient in defining and working towards measurable goals for products post-release
4. Enjoy a vacation in Europe, perhaps Italy?
5. Plant a victory garden in my front yard
6. Provide more room for quality time with friends and family
