I'm really excited at the changes that I've made over at Lucid Works in the galleries. I've implemented a really cool effect for viewing the images. Go check it out and let me know what you think.

So that you don't have to go back and compare charts, here's our cumulative ratings for our chocolate tastings.


Interesting that Valrhona comes in both first and last. Our local chocolate maker, Sjaaks, placed second and third against extremely stiff competition from around the world.

Last week, Bill decided to take his #3 flyrod with him out to the lagoon. Great fun was had by all when Bill hooked into an over ten pound steelhead. Fun in hindsight ... a lot of work at the time. Not much you can do with a hog like that with a #3 rod. Took over 30 minutes to land her.
