Ramblings

Hello my neglected audience of few. I'll admit, I'm way behind on any sort of promised blog schedule. I believe I recall once promising video Fridays and Photo Mondays .. or something like that. Who was that crazy guy? No clue.

I've been told by a couple people that by far the time my blog was the funniest was when I was blogging about working out and getting in shape. Well, lucky for those few, its bound to come up again. Ever since Dominos decided to let their drivers have beer, deliver pizza, and run over Subaru's I have been slowly putting on weight. Sure, I hear some of you, "Come on Bryce, you can stand to put on a pound or two", and to you I would like to point out the couple thousand I just spent on suits - which is by far the biggest motivator (I can put on 20lbs and still use that gym membership next month... if I did that with my suits, it would be slightly more comical than me trying to figure out the elliptical machines).

Unfortunately, 10 months after the accident, I'm still not even close to better. I just had an MRI Wednesday on my right hip - so we'll see where that nets me. Hopefully once we figure out what happened to my hip I can start working off this hibernation fat. =)

As for work, I finally feel like I'm understanding what I'm supposed to be starting to understand. Best way I've been able to put it so far is that it feels like I'm trying to drink out of a fire hose. The amount of information, tasks, and legal language that flies across my desk is nothing short of chaos.

Over on our website you can see some details about the recent loans I've worked on closing, which include:

Catholic Health Initiatives for $289 million
Virginia Mason Medical Center for $321 Million
Northwest Hospital for $84 Million
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research for $5.2 million (just a small admin building)

Not to mention I've also been working closely with the executive director on an RFP for our Financial Adviser contract.

Its fun stuff - believe it or not; though I can't wait until I'm more comfortable with the exact workings of the whole processes. Right now I feel like I understand that the gas goes into the car, but I have no idea why we're moving. =P

So, things coming up:

I'll be out in Atlanta mid next year for Bond Law training.... If you know anyone that is able to inject caffeine straight into my veins, could you have them contact me?

I'm sure there's going to be a slew of Christmas pictures and other stuff as I'm finally going to have a break from working during the week of Christmas.

Lastly, I'm working on Alex, in the hopes that he'll be guest blogging once a week all next year - We'll see if I can make the deal sweet enough for him to actually do it. Otherwise you're stuck with my stale and slow content for right now.

Flood links:

There's some great video's up on the local newspaper website. The videos of Tumwater Falls area is very impressive:

I got this picture from my Dad. Yes this is Interstate 5 - the exit for Walmart. I hear that boating through Walmart in the dark is just like a cave; but with cereal floating by.



And not to get too political before the primaries (there's going to be plenty of time for me to do that I presume) - just a funny:
