It’s 4am and time for another ski weekend! For some reason, I’m always able to wake up at least 15 minutes before my alarm on ski days. Call me sick and twisted, but when it comes to skiing, I like being up this early. I’m due to pick up Pete in Sactown by 6:30 or […]

Free Money (Sort Of)
Friday, January 3rd, 2003 · Comments Off on Free Money (Sort Of)
I will have 50 bucks arriving in the mail in about a month. How cool is that? My Dad got a message today from the Treasure Island Marina, where back in 1999 I had wild dreams about one day having a boat and a slip. The woman wasn’t able to reach me at my old […]

In the latest example of white men oppressing women, some jerk by the name of W. David Hager (hmm…is the “W” in his name merely a coincidence?) has been appointed to an FDA panel on women’s health. What’s wrong with this picture? Here are some hints: 1) He believes that “specific scripture readings and prayers” […]

Books!

Jen and I just returned from 10 long days in New York. It feels really good to be home. Being away for a while really makes one appreciate what one might otherwise take for granted: The soft, clean carpet on my feet, the fresh, clean air, our own place… This is the first posting in […]

New Year Reflections
Wednesday, January 1st, 2003 · 2 Comments
Today marks the first day of a new year. It is 2003. That’s hard to believe. By the end of this year, I will be a married man. At the Jensens’ New Year’s party last night, James gave a memorable and heart-felt toast that was the last one of 2002: “To Gabe and Jen.” Later […]
