Just downloaded the WordPress App for the iPhone and testing it out. Word life.

So once a year REI gives us a chance to hook up our peeps without it being against the rules. So I have some coupons to give out but, I  dropped the ball on getting them mailed out. The sale is from 6-9 tomorrow night and is good online as well.  So if you have been thinking about picking up something from REI let me know and I will hit you off with the coupon code.  The best thing to do is to use it online since a broader range of products are available there, and if something doesn’t fit when it comes in you they will honor the sale price on any kind of exchange you want or you can just get you money back.  You can even have it shipped to the store for free and just go in and pick it up.  The deal is as follows; 10% off bikes, boats, GPS, 2-way radios, phones, and PLBs,  20% off purchases up to 199.99, and 25% off purchases of 200.00 or more.  Each coupon can only be used once so make sure you get everything you want the first time. Also, you could get together and order stuff, Like James could cruise over to PT’s and they could both order $300 arc’teryx jackets and put it on the same coupon. The time constraint is the hardest thing.  If you think you might want a code let me know, but I only have a few so don’t ask for one if you don’t think you will use it.  Just email me and I will send you a code, or just give me a call 404.983.6618.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on wishing me a happy birthday and for coming out to Chinese Buddha last night. I am very lucky to have such great friends and family to spend quality time with. You guys are the best and I love you.

And yes, Jill and I are going to Chicago and, of course, Wrigley Field. I am quite excited about this and all the great places to eat. We got to see Yankee Stadium earlier this season and getting to see The Friendly Confines in the same year is pretty sweet. Of course, we will take pictures. The next ones on my list are Fenway Pahk (phonetical pronunciation) and Dodgers Stadium, which we can hit up in two-thousand-aught-9.

This has been a busy week, including seeing a great hardcore show on Monday with Have Heart, Verse and Foundation. Then we drove to Athens Tuesday night to eat at The Grit and see The Ergs! (great band; did a Nirvana cover!) and still had time to catch the last 4 innings of the All-Star Game (seriously, McCann should have started over those other dudes, respect). Buddha last night and we are finally seeing the zombie show at Dad’s Garage tonight. Phew.

Also, we got a new deck built onto our existing one, with quite a bit more space, so be on the lookout for some vegan grilling in the future (we just need the grill and furniture).

In relation to birthdays I wanted to wish congrats upon my good buddy André and his wife with the delivery of their new baby Memphis, who arrived early this morning and just missed sharing a birthday with me. Congrats, duder!

So, this thing rules. I play with it all the time (pretend you didn’t here that). We all know someone that has the almighty iPhone, so I have a treat today for those that have an iPhone (with the new 2.0 software).

First, browse your way to our fair site (http://tarpforlife.com/tarpblog/) using Safari (duh).
