Yesterday was a pretty funny day at the Newark Airport. During our nearly three-hour layover between Albany and Oakland Airports, we set up camp at the Brooklyn Brewery Jazz Bar, a plush blue establishment with cozy chairs, no jazz, an OK lager, and a tasty brown ale. We hung out there for quite some time. […]

This morning moments after waking up Jen for work, I complimented her on her beautiful engagement ring (as I often do) and she said that she had dreamt that it got broken.

After watching (on craigslist) the price of a comparable place to the one Jen and I are getting Aug. 14 (2-bedroom/2-bath townhouse) drop to less than 200 bucks below what we were slated to pay, I […]

This was a big and exciting weekend. Saturday morning Jen and I went apartment hunting in Marin. We looked at several places and put down our holding deposit for a 2-bedroom townhouse in Larkspur.

Yesterday after work I went to Blockbuster in the Northgate Mall and had one of those strange moments where you just really don’t know what to make of it. As usual, my pal Mike was ringing me up. Normal exchange at first. He asked me how I was doing. I said fine, thanks. Then I […]

I had a great time in ass-hot Tucson over the weekend with Pete. Met his roommates and friends, went hyper-bowling, ate at El Charro, saw the Commodores in concert, and just had a really chill time. The last few days since returning have been really busy, which is nice. Just read this article about whether/when […]

Last week a Beijing newspaper picked up a story from The Onion and ran it as news. Wow, some people… Friday night Jen and I got together with Katie and Jeanine in Golden Gate Park – in lucky area 13 – for a little picnic. I drove my Scooby across the pedestrian path and onto […]
