Saratoga Trip

Monday, December 15th, 2003 · Comments Off on Saratoga Trip

1860. It’s not our new address; it’s the year the historic building that we’ll soon call home was built. Saratoga Springs, the city in the country, is famous for health, history, and horses. I went to the place that Jen and I will soon call home last week for the first time; it more than […]

Sunday, December 14th, 2003 · 1 Comment

CNN.com – Baghdad celebrates Saddam’s capture: “After months on the run from coalition forces, a disheveled Saddam Hussein was found hiding in a hidden hole near a farmhouse and was captured without firing a shot, coalition authorities announced Sunday.” I didn’t think they’d find him alive.

Go Vote

Tuesday, December 9th, 2003 · 1 Comment

While giving my beautiful wife a birthday ride to work this morning, we passed corner after corner of yellow Gonzalez signs. I honked in support at each passing. It was a great feeling to see so much support for he who will be the next mayor of San Francisco and the first Green party mayor […]

Going Away Party

Monday, December 8th, 2003 · 5 Comments

Despite the occasion of the affair, we didn’t really say any goodbyes. The mood was arguably more upbeat than I had expected. It was a fittingly joyous going away party. Joyous not because Jen and I are leaving (though we are excited about our new adventure) but because we were surrounded by friends. People who […]

Brilliant Sound

Saturday, December 6th, 2003 · Comments Off on Brilliant Sound

When I’m not streaming audio via iTunes to my home PC and cranking out the sound to my Altec Lansing ACS340 speakers, I have DirecTV tuned to one of the digital music channels, usually channel 822’s Hit List, and pump the sound either directly to my Cerwin Vega DX-7s (note: photo is from college, so […]
