The Wild Ahi Sliders from True Food Kitchen come with wasabi, radishes, cucumber and a sesame brioche. Don't be mislead, the wasabi is merely a nice little portion which gives you a perfect essence, no epic nasal burns here. I ordered mine with the sweet potato hash which was absolutely amazing and the Green Arnie (Matcha Green Tea & Honey Lemonade) for my drink which was very refreshing and a perfect match. If you get the opportunity to stop in, look for Nate he's the cool guy at the bar. He'll get you squared away. True Food Kitchen is a cool place, great atmosphere, with awesome people. Highly recommended!

Is SQL Saturday really coming to Phoenix? Well the announcement was made public at the Arizona PASS chapter in a recent user group meeting. It is currently being lead by @Hafthor, @Coneybeer and myself @sqlsamson. We have teamed up and are looking to get the community involved! If you don't know what SQL Saturday is then allow me to brief you on it. It is a one day FREE training event that is conveniently held on a Saturday. In these troubled times FREE training never sounded so good! How great is that? SQL Saturday offers two tracks with four to six sessions for each track lasting about an hour each. The best part is that the speakers are fellow SQL Server enthusiast from our very own local community. You know them and you love them so come out and show your support!
If you are familiar with SQL Saturday then you know it was picked up by (PASS) the Professional Association of SQL Server not long ago and the fact it is in its planning stages here in Arizona is exciting. With such a large and overwhelming amount of knowledge sharing that SQL Saturday has to offer, it will be to valuable asset to the community. Keep in mind that SQL Saturday won't be a success unless you get involved. We need support from the community in several different areas. If you are apart of another technical group please spread the word that SQL Saturday is coming and we are looking for speakers/presenters, sponsors, volunteers, and of course venues.
If you are willing to present, sponsor, volunteer or can assist with getting locations please contact either one of the following:
Recently I went hiking with an old friend of mine by the name of Johnny. We have been friends for many years and thankfully we ended up reconnecting after several years. Actually I ended up reconnecting with a lot of old friends and I am very happy I did, but that is a different story. So on to the actual point of this short story.
Johnny and I were not very experienced hikers so our attire really didn't fit but we were determined and motivated nonetheless. At first I thought I might hike it part way then attempt it again another time but push myself a little further on each attempt. However, when I noticed people were passing me up without any hesitation or heavy breathing I thought to myself, "Oh hell no" as a few 7 or 8 year olds passed me up. Then it hit my pride even more when an elderly couple passed me up jogging no less. Talk about being out of shape.
I mean I didn't straight hike it all in one shot, I did take a few breaks when I was getting really winded or when my legs were tightening up. In the end I am glad Johnny and I pushed ourselves because when I reached the top, the views were stellar, absolutely gorgeous and I felt a great sense of accomplishment which coincidentally turned out to be the jump start I needed.
During my ride home I felt great and proud of myself. I know that this was not a significantly treacherous terrain, but I did it on my first attempt meaning I didn't give up. Now I feel I can get back on the "Healthier Me" track knowing that I can still push myself and still endure a challenge. 2010 is going to be a good year. I know it will!
One more thing: I am definitely taking a better camera so I can get better shots next time. Yeah that is right, I am going again!
