There are now three people who read my blog regularly: my fiancee, my dad, and my friend Jess. Woohoo! Thanks for your interest, Jess. If anyone else reads this regularly, please let me know. It’s fun to know who my audience is. Jen and I had another really busy, super-fun weekend. Friday night we met […]

Beer Focus Group Invite

Tuesday, October 8th, 2002 · Comments Off on Beer Focus Group Invite

This rocks. I got an email about attending a beer focus group on Monday. Something tells me it’s sponsored by Guinness. How cool is that? Getting paid 65 bucks to drink Guiness for a couple hours! And free dinner.

Partying at 24-Hour Fitness

Monday, October 7th, 2002 · Comments Off on Partying at 24-Hour Fitness

Rather than write an entry today specifically for the blog (I’m feeling a bit lazy), I thought I’d recycle some text I wrote this morning about the weekend in an email to Larry: ———— Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2002 11:38:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Gabe … Jen and I had a fun weekend. Had some friends […]

Stressful Day

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2002 · Comments Off on Stressful Day

Today started out as one of those days when you know things just aren’t going to be good. As he has an annoying tendency to do, Happy Dingo pissed all over his legs first thing this morning. It’s good that he’s no longer going in the house, but sometimes he sees Stella go somewhere new […]

Weekend Update

Sunday, September 29th, 2002 · Comments Off on Weekend Update

It’s been a really fun weekend so far. It feels like it’s been longer than a couple days. Friday night after work (after dropping off Happy D. at Planet Canine), Jen, Stella, and I headed to Sacramento to meet up with James and Tracy for a night out. We dropped off Stella at Nana’s house […]

Wine Making in Montclair

Friday, September 27th, 2002 · Comments Off on Wine Making in Montclair

Last night after work I headed over to beautiful and green Montclair to meet up with Jen at her coworker Jane’s place to help out with some winemaking. It was our first foray into the world of vinting — and good practice for running the vineyard that we’ll some day own. We helped out with […]

The TI Living Room Carpet Saga

Thursday, September 26th, 2002 · Comments Off on The TI Living Room Carpet Saga

After much debate yesterday with the incompetent “Reggie” of Treasure Island’s The Villages — and everything short of being accused of lying — I finally managed to get the fool to agree to give us back the $416.99 they tried to charge us to replace the living room carpet. He acted like he was doing […]

Outing at Pac Bell Park

Wednesday, September 25th, 2002 · Comments Off on Outing at Pac Bell Park

The Giants game last night with Dad was a lot of fun. The Giants kicked some serious ass. When we left in the 7th inning, they were up 6-3. By the time we were pulling onto my street back in Larkspur, they had extended the lead to 12-3. Go Giants! I also indulged in a […]

Duck Hunter

Tuesday, September 24th, 2002 · Comments Off on Duck Hunter

This morning Happy Dingo and I stopped at J.R. Muggs. When I walked in behind a group of men clad in army camo rags, I suspected they were more likely on their way to hunting ducks (is it duck season?) than on a mission of the U.S. government. My suspicion was confirmed when I overheard […]

Weekend Roundup

Monday, September 23rd, 2002 · Comments Off on Weekend Roundup

This weekend was a lot of fun. Friday evening I picked up Jen (who got the afternoon off and had spent several hours drinking with coworkers already) and then Enoch from Transbay, and we all headed off to the Lower Haight for a cocktail party at Kat’s beautiful flat. I never cease to be amazed […]
