Joel VandenBrink is likeable for several reasons. The 27-year-old South Lake Union resident is immediately approachable, polite and soft-spoken. His axiom for work and play is stitched on his ball cap: "Take some time." He's always smiling, or looks like he's just about to smile. And he makes darn good beer.

A steady stream of warm herbal oil poured onto my third eye, located in the center of my forehead. This ancient Ayurvedic treatment is meant to bring psychological and spiritual balance, and heal a plethora of ills, including stress, insomnia, depression, hair loss, hormonal imbalances and headaches. All I know is that I was completely relaxed, and when the last drop of oil dripped on my forehead, I felt blissful. And very oily.

KING 5 meteorologist Rich Marriott is forecasting decreasing showers in the morning, a partly sunny afternoon and a high of 58 for the 2008 Seattle Yacht Club Opening Day of Boating Season. Bikini weather it isn't, but in light of the fact that it was snowing two weeks ago, we'll take it.
