The Rally Monkey

Wednesday, October 16th, 2002 · Comments Off on The Rally Monkey

This rally monkey cracks me up. One of the lawyers in Bagley’s Anaheim office sent it to everyone in Dad’s SF office — talking smack about the Giants (the monkey being the Angels’ mascot). As Dad put it, this monkey will not rally; it will get spanked by the Giants in the series!

Life on Treasure Island

Wednesday, October 16th, 2002 · Comments Off on Life on Treasure Island

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, […]

Helen Smith Passes Away

Tuesday, October 15th, 2002 · Comments Off on Helen Smith Passes Away

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 […]

Volume of Email Relative to Stress Level

Friday, October 11th, 2002 · Comments Off on Volume of Email Relative to Stress Level

If the volume of messages in my email inboxes (personal and work) is any indication of my stress and “stuff going on” level, then the meter is rather high today. It’s not terrible, but I am feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. If 12 is the average number of messages present at any given time, […]

Fittingly Foggy Weather

Thursday, October 10th, 2002 · Comments Off on Fittingly Foggy Weather

Today is a fittingly foggy and cold day as the House passes a resolution authorizing Bush to use force against Iraq if it does not comply with weapons inspections. This despite the fact that Americans are more concerned about our own country — the economy, corporate accountability, education. But leave it to Bush and high-powered […]
