Single track helmet cam kid shows us what it’s like

This is probably Maine, not Redding. But I just had to curate this engaging video. You may have seen it already, since it seems to be going viral. I say 1000 extra dad-points to you sir, for putting the camera on your kid’s helmet instead of yours. Allowing us to share this experience through the eyes of a 4 year old child.

“Dad, go!”
“Oh, I’m first? Okay.”
Then, dad asks, “Can you see well?”
“No, I don’t have to pee.”

LOL! So much fun. Good work, dad. Thanks for sharing.

New video features Tony Meredith dancing about Redding

Tony Meredith is a wonderful local dancer. The video was shot around Redding, and is posted in hi-def. Warning, song lyrics NSFW. Unless like us, you work someplace tolerant of artistic vocabulary expression. Set it for higher definition.

I met Tony through the Dancing with the Stars Shasta County Style fundraising, and I have come to appreciate the skill and hard work that goes into the style. Nicely shot here. Dancing about Redding.

A dinner proposal

Friday’s dinner was supposed to be special. But we didn’t know just how special it would be. Earlier, we learned French Chef Reynald Tel was no longer cooking at the By The Way, or Bourbon and Bull bar. Too bad. But we also learned he was trying to expand his catering business. So naturally we invited him over to cook. Just a little French Style tasting. Which turned into 8 courses with appropriate French wine pairings. Oh my. Words fail.
So, watch this in HD for full effect. Originally edited to Edith Piaf “La Vie En Rose,” from 1946, which you would think would be Public Domain or at least fair Use for Non Commercial. But YouTube won’t let you see that version, so here’s an alternate. If you start the video with sound off, then click on link (above) for Edith Piaf, you can almost hear it as intended. It won’t sync up, but you’ll get the gist of it.

As spectacular as dinner was, it was only the prelude the to main event. Unknown to anyone but himself, Aaron Rader planned to propose to Erin Murphy at this dinner. He asked to play a DVD he’d brought with him. And this is what we saw.


She said yes.

It was a fantastic night. Here is the tasting menu, which is a fun read.
