Are there any good restaurants? and protein bound drugs

Is there anywhere good to eat? I suddenly miss big cities! My brother called yesterday and asked if the Red Iguana would be a good choice in Salt Lake City. YES it would. I ate there a couple times when I was staying with Renn in Provo. I also liked Squatters. I was trying to see if there was any good restaurants in Carson City and was reading good reviews and thinking to myself "wow, there is lots of good restaurants in Carson City and South Tahoe" then I came across the Applebee's reviews. They were like 4.2 stars! Crap, that is what I have to compare good restaurants to? It is not like the Applebee's in Tahoe is any better than any other Applebee's. They are all exactly the same. So according to trip advisor, the world famous steakhouse in Truckee (rating 4.3) is nearly imperceptibly better than Applebee's. The sad thing is that might be true.

Every chinese restaurant in Montana has the same supplier/jobber. It is creatively named "Asian Foods" and just about every asian meal in the 406 tastes exactly the same. I have only found one place that has better than average food, and it is a three hour drive. I have people constantly tell me, "oh, you should try x or y asian restaurant. It is way better than the other ones." I go to x and y and the food is exactly the same! I am starting to think all chinese restaurants are somehow secretly owned by Applebee's.

I want't to include a picture of good food here, but the only picture of food I have is one taken with my phone of some veggies right before I roasted them with Polly's freshly canned apple sauce and pie filling for a background.



Also, I know like three people read this, but if any of you three need a list of highly protein bound drugs I have gladly included it. I was asked to put together (with a partner) to provide said list and I assumed that Google would provide.  I couldn't believe such a list was not readily available, so if I can figure out key words and such, maybe some poor sap will appreciate the week's worth of work. Most of the information came from Lexicomp and drugdata.com. It is not an all inclusive list, but if it is not on this list and it is a drug that is prescribed more than once an eon and it was approved before 10/2011, then it probably in not highly protein bound (>90%).

    Marnie and I ate at a little Indian place called Curry'n'Noodles in Hopkins. I ordered lamb in this red curry sauce that was incredible! The lamb just melted in my mouth, the seasonings were savory and distinctly unique from Americanized curries.

CPAC Soccer Game

I was finally able to attend a soccer game and watch Kathryn play. It was so much fun to watch Kathryn and the other girls play so aggressively. They have completely dominated the first two games, outscoring their opponents 9-1. I was surprised on how big the pitch was. Those girls were running! Kathryn is playing on a U-11 team. About half the girls are playing up from younger age groups because our club is brand new and just starting out. Watching the younger girls play tough on (sometimes much) bigger girls was inspiring.  The team's coach, Ian Hill, is really quite different from other youth sports coaches. He coaches with Love. Sounds corny, right? It's not touchy-feely namby-pamby stuff. He is teaching the girls accountability to your teammates, coaches, and parents because you love them. He makes them run at practice until its uncomfortable (maybe even some tears) because he wants them to know what it feels like in a game to keep going when you think you can't run

Choosing where to live.

Not knowing where we will be next year is starting to take its toll. On me, on my family, probably on my performance at work.  I obsess about it. "Where do we want to live?" I have my list. My goal is to find a community that maximizes the number of things on that list. Polly has a list, but it is much shorter, or contains secret elements that I don't know. Her list, as far as I can tell is: 1. Access to grandbabies. 2. Church members in adequate numbers that we don't practice our faith on an island, or in a fishbowl. That is a short list. My list is more complicated. It has lots of items, and the those items change in relative importance as the seasons of the year, and my life, change. I like the outdoors- that has always been and will always be true. I find that I get depressed fairly quickly if my senses are deprived of the outdoors. The sound of the wind through the trees, the smell of woodsmoke and pine, the simultaneous sensation of a warm sun on my bac

Purple Mountains and an Emerald Lake I am just now starting to go back through the photos from my backpacking trip through Glacier from a year ago. When I first got back, I was too miserable and sore to even think about it, then I got busy. Then I forgot. Now I'm procrastinating school work. This was such an amazing trip. I wonder how people used to do it, slogging along with some external frame, canvas pack that weighed a ton and absorbed  water and if I had to guess, it probably didn't even hold every thing you needed. I used an Arcteryx Bora 90 which kept my stuff dry, organized and on my back. In fact, the only thing wrong with my pack was it was too big. You never want to be the guy with a 90 liter pack when everyone else has a 60 liter pack.
