Entertaining Australians!

Yes, both a verb and an adjective+noun, we enjoyed a night out with the DRIVE Australia folks this past Sunday evening!

We started with dinner at El Chupacabra in Phinney Ridge, then finished the night at Reading Gaol in North Ballard. Wonderfully, I also introduced 'Screw Your Neighbor' to our friends from Down Under -- and they LOVED IT! Couldn't get enough! Save Stephen Dolan who didn't win a single go!

Final Results:
Sarah Ward: 2 wins
Liam Walsh: 2 wins
Todd Moore: 2 wins
Saskia Galbraith: 1 win
Stephen Dolan: 0 wins

Please note that in both of my wins, I took down Liam by tieing him with Jacks BOTH TIMES. Turns out, I just happened to have two chits to his one when we tied! Brilliant altogether!

And based on country results, the U.S. took home the Gold Medal:

USA: 3 wins - 2 people - 1.5 wins/person
AUS: 4 wins - 3 people - 1.33 wins/person

A thrilling time altogether and fun times had by all! Welcome to the States, Aussie friends!

Life McWeaver Launch Party!

Life McWeaver is live!

Last night, we celebrated a Launch Party as we pushed John & Amy's new blog out to the blogosphere. We BBQ'd, enjoyed adult beverages, ate a lot, laughed even more, and toasted the McWeaver story -- what had already been authored and what is to come.

Laura & Dave were able to come by as well as Jace Paulson, who dragged his sleepy parents to the party. Jace knew it was his opportunity to tip a few back... he sure can pound the breast milk!
