Yesterday Jen, James, Tracy, and I ventured up to Albany for some winter adventures. The fun began at Hooters, where we had a couple pitchers and some appetizers. I even got my picture taken with our Hooters girl Jen. It was a lot of fun. James and I had each been to a Hooters before, […]

Jen and I just returned from a dinner party at Sue and Josh’s place. Karen and Joti were there, too. Jen made and brought her famous lasagne. We had a good time. We watched some footage of Sue and Josh’s wedding from the summer. I think Jen and I both got a preview of the […]

Yesterday’s Nor’easter set a Christmas Day record here in the Northeast: More than 19 inches fell in some places. The snow has subsided for the time being and the roads are clear, but it sure was cool seeing all that snow come pouring down last night. We just had a tasty salmon lunch and are […]

Merry Christmas from snow-covered Upstate New York. Jen, Daisy May, and I just got back inside after romping around in a foot or two of fresh powder. It’s so beautiful.

It’s just past 4am and I haven’t been awake this early in ages. Even most of the times I went skiing last year, I didn’t leave from the Bay Area (I started out in Sacramento or Tahoe). It was hard to fall asleep at 9:30pm last night, but I always have this renewed energy on […]

Jen emailed me this article that’s an argument for why automatic transmission vehicles are better than sticks. Of course, having bought my WRX earlier this year — and never for a moment considered not getting a stick — I completely disagree. Why? As the author with the opposing viewpoint puts it, “The plain truth is […]

While sitting in a two-hour meeting this morning, someone said something that has got to be #1 on the list of Top 10 Things You Never Want to Hear a Coworker Say in a Meeting. So, without further ado, here it is (10 through 2 I just made up, but #1 was actually said): Top […]

This morning I took a bunch of photos of our place and reposted the ad to craigslist — with mention of the tennis court, the pet rent, and link to the photos of our apartment on Ofoto. So far there’s been quite a bit of interest, but only one guy has actually come to look. […]
