Moon Fesitval
By · Comments
Today is the celebration of the Moon Festival. This is a day for family to get together, lovers to sit together, all watching the first full moon of the autumn season.
Be on the alert for Moon Cakes, they are fattening! As reported in the LA Times, Moon Cakes are the top choice for desert on this special day. Yummy. If you have not stocked already with a box of Moon Cakes and do not know where to look, China Town might be a good bet or check out this resource in another Times article.
This anent Chinese Festival has its roots in legend. In a distant time across the oceans in the mythical time of Yi a great archer, the legend was born of how he shot the moon. No not in the 20th century sense of “shooting the moon” but literally with a bow and arrow. In another old Chinese story Chang Er flew to the moon, where she has lived ever since. During the Moon Festival you might see her dancing on the full moon of Autumn.
Oh Baby, Oh Baby Sarah

Only months after resigning her Governorship in Alaska our beloved Sarah has written her memoir. The book, “Going Rogue: An American Life” will be published by HarperCollins and released this coming November. Can’t wait to get hold of one the these beauties!
I may not be a gun toting NRA member but I respect her moxy. Anyone that can come dressed to kill and sign up to be Vice Pres in an evening hot pant gown has got to have something going down good. At least that’s my assessment.
Meanwhile back on the ranch we are brewing up some outrageous IPA.
Seth called today. His little sweet monster of a dog ran out of their apartment door in San Francisco straight into traffic. OH NO MR. BILL!!!! That dog must take after another family, yes? Car creches later the dog is at the vets with a dislocated hip. How much will this cost you ask. Don’t ask is a better option.
The Way The World Works
By · CommentsI just received an email from a friend. You know the kind with the “Forward” link in front of it. I usually just hit the delete button from these type of messages without bothering to look. Today I peaked. What I found was a little picture of “The Way The World Works”. It caught my attention; maybe it will enlighten you as well.

I picked this link up through a Twitter feed I have been following. If you do not know about Twitter its the hottest social networking application to come down the pike in the last year or so. Move over Facebook here comes Twitter.
Baby Jamison Asher
By · CommentsThis is what happens when you plan a trip to Costa Rica. At least this is what my son and daughter in law Channing tell me. Baby Jamison Asher is resting quietly after a long day at the office.
Later this month Jennifer and I are planning to drive up to San Fransisco to visit the little family and bring our best wishes.
My son called me and left a message on my phone while I was at work a few days ago. Its really amazing what being a new father will do for a person. It tends to make you grow up. For me I had to grow up really fast and I am glad that for this generation they have had a few years to enjoy just being young adults without too much responsibility.
So wake up world here comes “Asher”.
