The Yes List Update

We have no completed 1/4th of our "Yes" Campaign for 2009. Here is an updated list that includes the Yes activities for February and March.

February:

1. Take up gardening- As of print we have successfully used basil, red lettuce, and cilantro in our culinary pursuits. We are still growing our onions, tomatoes, egg plant, and beans. Our thumbs are slowly turning a light shade of green.
2. Exotic Desserts- Given that my wife is an award winning baker, I've got the blue ribbons to prove it, I consider myself a lucky man indeed. We took a weekend to try several new and fairly complicated desserts. The additional 3lbs that I currently carry with me are testament enough of the success of this endeavor.
   
3. Anniversary Weekend- A celebration of our first anniversary by spending the weekend at a little quaint resort outside of Fountain Hills. A big YES indeed.
   
4. Biltmore Movie Night- It's always great when the community can come together, even if it is only for a free movie at the outdoor mall. We were able to catch a showing of the Hitchcock classic, Rear Window.
   

March:

1. Polynesian Festival- Because who doesn't love consuming large amounts of kahlua pork while donning a horrific floral print Reyn Spooner?
2. Attend local battle of the bands- There are a couple of bands worth supporting and it's always nice to see what new sounds are floating out there.
3. Perform some songs at Fiddlers Dream- This is listed in a previous entry. I'm glad I was able to muster a little courage and perform some of my music live.
4. Spring Training- We had to participate in annual spring ritual by seeing the Cubs play with some of our rabid Cubs friends. It was the White Sox-Cubs game at the new stadium in the West Valley and the inner city rivalry created some unexpected pre-season electricity.

As we move through April we continue to find new and rewarding things to see and experience. More to come and more to say yes to.
