Arriving in Capitol Hill for the next #SeattleCafePassport stop. Victrola has a cool neon sign outside, great drinks inside, and awesome music all around. ☕️

What a wonderful birthday dinner and experience from Towa in Redmond. An eight course meal, and each course was delightful and delicious!

Eating and drinking our way through the neighborhood Mother’s Day festival.

Northern lights!! So glad for clear skies over Seattle.

"I spoke to two former longtime Xbox employees, separately, and both lamented the current state of the business. One told me, prior to this week’s awful studio closures, 'I had lengthy conversations with a bunch of Xbox founders, and we all came to the same conclusion: it’s no longer Xbox, but Microsoft Gaming.' Ouch."

"At this point, I can't even blame it on crack."

I think Rainier is telling me I should have a pie with lots of meringue for my birthday. 🥧

there is a certain happiness that comes with building a team, giving them the power and range to come up with new ideas, telling them that I'll have their backs, and seeing their joy in realizing that I'm not kidding.

I'm a simple man. so when a smokehouse offers me a freshly cured stick of jalapeno cheddar pepperoni and a cherry cola to celebrate my day, I'm going to accept the celebration!

Sandwiches for breakfast is always a fun and quick option. But what if you have that craving and also some time? Monte Cristo sandwiches feel like upscaled French Toast but with a decadent middle and delicious dipping sauce. #larryskitchen

waking up on the west coast means waking up to birthday wishes from all my east coast friends. oh, and Nintendo as well. :)

thanks to all. hoping for a great and unique day today!

It isn’t the Sword of Damocles, but having the ghost of The Pumpkin King lurking above your head can’t be a good sign. 🎃

hard to believe Hades II is in early access on Steam. I'm just getting started, but everything looks and feels amazing. if this is the unfinished build, I can't wait to experience it when it is complete. but that won't stop me from trying to kill Chronos in the meantime.

my comic chat group is just the best (worst)

Me: "again proving that Batman is DC's greatest villain"
Friend: "it's okay. Flash is about to reboot everything anyway"
Me: "NOI! BAD!!"
Friend: "Flash is the DC equivalent of 'rocks fall, everyone dies'"

She's not wrong though....

as a longtime D&D player, I love the premise of this new game. A turn-based strategy and base-building game where you teach orcs how to feel. I mean, feel beyond the whole "kill everything" emotion.

where does it end? more importantly, how does it end? someone needs to take a stand and say no more. we're going to be different.

been a long time since I scripted out a video. some memories and skills never go away. that's what happens when you've been in TV news for as long as I was. love it when those powers activate for PR purposes!

Change the cheese in a sauce for pasta, and you could get a wildly different culinary experience. While spaghetti sauces usually get some variation of parmesan, this sauce utilizes goat cheese to create something creamy and flavorful. It sticks to the pasta so well. #larryskitchen

Had to go to three places for Sunday post-coffee breakfast. Morsel did not disappoint with their incredible biscuit sandwich. And more caffeine, of course. 🥚 ☕️

Next stop on the #SeattleCafePasaport tour. Smooth lattes from Milstead & Co. within viewing distance of Lake Union. Open, glass-walled business to the surrounding Fremont area. ☕️
