Now that John Gruden is coming back to the Bay Area to coach the Oakland Raiders for the second time the marketing machine has really kicked in. So much so that Corona has attempted to jump on the hyped up coattails of the coach to where I was at the grocery store the other day…… MORE
On my way up to Lodi yesterday to hang out with Kenny Jones at the Five Window Beer Company for 10 Deeds In 10 Days broadcast (he’s in Ripon at Schemper’s Ace Hardware by the way today). On my way up 99 traffic started slowing down then I saw the CHP and a TV crew.…… MORE
Typically when someone tips their bartender or barista they tip $1 per drink. It’s been like that since probably the 1980’s. The average inflation rate since 1985 is 2.56% making a dollar then worth $1.30 now but the average American still tips just $1 to the same servers. That’s about a 23% reduction over that…… MORE

Most nights when I come home this is what my fridge looks like. In fact this photo was taken last night. It’s bad enough that there was next to no food in my refrigerator but if you look closely the milk that is still there expired February 2nd and the turkey bacon expired some time…… MORE
I love Mongolian Grill food! The ability to choose the meats, vegetables and sauces I want and the fact that I can fill my bowl as high as possible for one price is awesome. A few months ago I gave my tips for filling your bowl as high as possible because they’ll cook as much…… MORE
I bought an annual membership at Fitness Evolution in Ripon back in June because it’s 4 blocks from where I live. Super convenient right? Great club, great classes and with all the latest fitness equipment. My attendance has been spotty, I have to admit. Then I saw a photo of myself and rededicated myself to…… MORE
First off, when you ask Siri to find a place for you it’s important to make sure what ‘she’ finds for you is what you’re actually asking for. I made the mistake of not checking earlier in the week. The Kat studios are near the Stockton Metropolitan Airport and I broke my last pair of…… MORE
