I’ll Make You An Offer You Can’t Refuse

10 July 2010

0 Comments

This is a long overdue review of what I think is the best business book I’ve ever read. I’ll Make You an Offer You Can’t Refuse by Michael Franzese (published by Thomas Nelson) is different than other business how-to books in several way: first and foremost, it is written by a former mob boss…that alone [...]

BJ’s Restaurant, Part Deux

9 June 2010

0 Comments

Sadly, Charlie Sheen did not sign on for this one. The good news, however, is that we had an experience last night that was completely different from the trainwreck of the prior time there. We were seated almost immediately–despite the place being pretty well packed (mainly because of the Lakers-Celtics game, I think) and had [...]

I was recently contacted, quite out of the blue, with the opportunity to review Kids Make It Better by Suzy Becker. Initially I was hesitant, because I hadn’t heard of the book or the author or the publisher…but that quickly changed when I was informed that the publisher, Workman, is the publisher of the “What [...]

Original post. Found out just after posting the review that BJ’s was on Twitter, so sent a link to them to ensure they’d see. And they definitely did. I’ve since been contacted by a Director of Operations for BJ’s, who has very apologetic. May be returning for a follow-up review, but working out the details [...]

BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse Review

It’d been a long extended weekend with the family gone since Wednesday and me reflooring much of our downstairs, so when they got home yesterday , the last thing either of us wanted to do was cook. So we went out for dinner. We’d never been to Tacoma’s (or any, for that matter) BJ’s. Reviews [...]

Food, Inc. Review

19 March 2010

2 Comments

Watched Food, Inc. tonight after wife and daughter had watched last night. I have to say upfront that I was cynical before watching it, thinking it was going to be along the lines of a Michael Moore “documentary” where tidbits of truth were enclosed in large volumes of commentary, opinion, and falsehoods. I was shocked [...]

Avatar Review

9 January 2010

2 Comments

Received a pair of tickets for Christmas for my oldest son and me to see Avatar in 3D at IMAX in Seattle, and just returned from there this afternoon. Short form review: Simply amazing. Sets a new bar for cinematography. Fairly predictable plot, but that is easily forgiven because of how well the rest is [...]
