Tomorrow we will be 15 weeks closer to having a new little McPhee running around–that leaves 25 weeks to go, yikes! We’ve gotten used to the idea for the most part but think that when we see the 20 week ultrasound to determine the sex, it will really hit home! And yes, we [...]

Decemberists/Menomena
Posted in Music, Portland on July 31, 2007 | No Comments »
The Decemberists recently played at McMenamin’s Edgefield and from what I hear, it was a fantastic show. Unfortunately, I wasn’t there. Opening the show was Portland’s critical indie darlings, Menomena. They are a very creative trio, as you can tell by their weird website. I’ve recently started listening to them, and have enjoyed their music [...]

IT’S SHARK WEEK on Discovery!! A full week of fascinating shows about one of earth’s best predators. Here’s a photo of the best predator.
This photo was taken in Heidelberg last summer. I still can’t believe they had a statue of the Predator - awesome!
Anyway, back to Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. It’s the 20th [...]
Geek-A-Thon is Over
Posted in McPhee Family on July 30, 2007 | 3 Comments »
So, I’ve returned to my “normal” life back in Portland. My vacation to fantasy island, I mean the search engine conference, is now over. How awesome would that be to have a little person, which is the preferred nomenclature, greet me at the door of my conference by pointing to the sky and yelling “de [...]
Networking and know-it-alls
Posted in McPhee Family on July 26, 2007 | No Comments »
There are many things I hate about conferences, but none more than networking and having to listen to egotistical attendees talk at the panelists to try and prove something.
First, the networking. It’s something that definitely works for business development and additional learnings. It’s always good to talk to others about their company, ideas, tactics, techniques, etc. [...]
The Emerald City

Today I’m writing from The Emerald City, Seattle, my first love. Years ago when I was just a young kid, probably very early teens, I had always said I wanted to live in Seattle. Having never been here before at that time, I’m not sure what drew me to the city. I had told my [...]
A quick rant
Posted in McPhee Family, Portland on July 23, 2007 | No Comments »
Sometimes I drive the back way home (normally if I don’t have to pick up Heather) so I don’t have to fight the traffic on the Interstate. I take Highway 30, which takes me to the St. John’s Bridge in North Portland, then home.
I’m completely baffled every time I enter the on ramp to get [...]
Cornhole

No, I’m not referring to that portion of human anatomy where the sun don’t shine, but a game called cornhole. It’s also known as corn toss, bean bags and bean toss. My friend Jeff just came back from a gathering in Seattle where he and his friends played cornhole. Check out his photo. Now I’m [...]
Bienvenido a Miami
Posted in McPhee Family on July 22, 2007 | No Comments »
Just thought I’d write a quick little note to say hi. I’m a full blown bachelor this weekend, so I’ve really been living it up. Or as my favorite has-been Ricky Martin once sang, “I’m livin’ la vida loca”. Heather is in Miami this weekend through Tuesday for work. She is attending a salon conference [...]
Belly Pictures
Posted in Baby McPhee, McPhee Family on July 21, 2007 | No Comments »
I took a few pictures of Heather’s belly last night so you all could see how her tummy has grown! In order for me to post these pictures, I had to write a mini disclaimer for Heather, so here it goes:
Disclaimer: When the photos were taken, Heather had just eaten dinner, and apparently she says [...]
