Today at lunchtime I went running for the first time in as long as I can remember. And it was an actual, sweaty run. I went with a couple co-workers. We ran 2.5 miles in about 23.5 minutes. A slow pace, for sure, but not too shabby seeing as I haven’t run in ages. My […]

Code Orange at the NOC of the ADC
Tuesday, September 10th, 2002 · Comments Off on Code Orange at the NOC of the ADC
As I stood this morning in the Network Operations Center (NOC) of Autodesk’s Data Center, which felt more like the bridge of the Enterprise than the 24/7 worldwide monitoring station for all Autodesk servers, I glanced at the silent TV screen tuned to the FOX news network (“so that we can monitor world events [that […]

Jen Comes Home
Monday, September 9th, 2002 · Comments Off on Jen Comes Home
My weekend was really good, though I’m a bit tired today. I picked up Jen from airport at 1230 last night. I had some peeps (James, Enoch, Ben, Kat) over Saturday for drinks and movie (Ghost Dog), finished unpacking office, went looking for a second dog (but haven’t yet found one), and even started on […]

Jen and I woke up ass-early this morning at 4:30am so that we could beat East Bay traffic to get Jen to Oakland Airport. She’s off to NY today for a quick trip to go to her friend’s wedding. I’m gonna miss her this weekend. It will be nice to have a relaxing weekend for […]

Action-Packed Weekend
Monday, August 26th, 2002 · Comments Off on Action-Packed Weekend
Jen and I had a whirlwind weekend. Running on just 9 pints of blood, I’m surprised I’m not more tired today. Friday night we whisked off to a really fun birthday party for Ben at his and Jess’ place in Alamo Square. I drove around for nearly 20 minutes looking for parking. When I finally […]

The 1-Gallon Club
Friday, August 23rd, 2002 · Comments Off on The 1-Gallon Club
I just joined the 1-Gallon Club. I have now donated a full gallon of my blood over the past 7 years since I started giving (wow, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long since I started college!). Top three reasons why I like giving blood: 1) It saves lives. 2) Free doughnuts. 3) The […]

The New Routine

This morning is the first workday that began at the new home. Jen joined me for my usual 6am wake-up call this morning and we were out the door by 7. I dropped off Jen at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal, where she cruised successfully across the Bay for the first day of her new commute; […]

Moving Day
Saturday, August 17th, 2002 · Comments Off on Moving Day
Moving day is coming to a close. Jen, Stella, and I are settled in here at Larkspur Shores. The new place is great and is growing on us (and Stella) by the minute. Delancey Street Movers were great. They came in at less than half their estimate (just under 4 hours of work, 9am to […]

The Lease
Thursday, August 15th, 2002 · 2 Comments
I just returned to the office from paying the move-in costs and picking up the keys for our new place at Larkspur Shores! I’m so excited I can’t even stop to eat my Michael’s Sourdough sandwich (second this week!). With Karen’s help, we unloaded the first carload of stuff for the place. I can’t wait […]

Fun with Horoscopes
Tuesday, August 13th, 2002 · Comments Off on Fun with Horoscopes
My horoscope for today quite simply sums up how I’ve been feeling the last couple days: Aries Horoscope (by astrocenter.com) You are in an introspective mood, which is most unusual for you, dear Aries. In addition, you find yourself drawn to classical music and the artwork of the old masters. What’s gotten in to you? […]
