Wow. What a week. I just returned from my super-intensive 4-day Autodesk Leadership Program. I’m quite exhausted, so I feel almost like I’m in a dream state. I’m sure I’ll sleep well tonight. But more on ELP later… Now I’m just beginning to go through my huge influx of email (at least 50 emails in […]

Over the weekend Jen stumbled across the ideal family adventure: Thanksgiving on the Serengeti. We won’t be traveling to Africa for an actual safari, but we will be heading to Santa Rosa on Thanksgiving day for a 4-course meal in an African tent at Safari West. How cool is that? Not only do Jen and […]

Tonight we bowled with Winona Ryder. She was in lane 4 and we were in lane 3 at the Yerba Buena Bowling Center in SF. I also bowled my highest game ever: 188. Jen, Jess, Ben, Enoch, his new friend Crissi, and I hit the lanes after watching 8 Mile at the Metreon. Lo and […]

On Saturday following a morning hike and an afternoon movie, Jen and I headed to Montclair for an evening of wine tasting at the woodsy home of Jen’s coworker Jane and her partner Sarah. The concept of the evening was great: Each couple brings two identical bottles of favorite Cabernet Sauvignon (less than $20), everyone […]

After it was all said and done, I dropped by Greenberg Qualitative Research to drop off my scrapbook and mini-Polaroid and to pick up my […]

Dad just sent me this great email about his encounter this afternoon with four Giants legends who just happen to be his boyhood heroes: Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, and Orlando Cepeda. Go Dad! It’s surely a sign that the Giants are on their way to victory of the 2002 World Series.

Back in the office today after a quick trip to New York, I’m feeling rather out of it and not much like being at work. I don’t feel tired exactly — more like I just flew across the country yesterday and am ready to take it easy at home. After picking up Stella and Happy […]

Gentle crashing waves. Quiet call of the gull. Scent of fresh ocean air. Complete serenity. Waking up on Treasure Island is one of my fondest memories of the three years Jen and I spent living 2.5 miles in the middle of the Bay and at least twice as far from the nearest tall building. Lately, […]

Jen’s grandmother Helen Smith passed away yesterday. I was never fortunate enough to have known her during her earlier years, but I know how important she was in Jen’s life. If she had anything to do with making Jen who she is today, then that’s good enough for me. For that, I am grateful to […]
