I ordered new glasses today (I resisted the urge to buy an iPhone) — for the first time since before Jen and I got married in 2003 (here’s what I wrote about my current glasses then). The motivation? Jen left her job, so our vision coverage expires today. It was a good kick in the […]

South Lake Tahoe Fire
Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 · Comments Off on South Lake Tahoe Fire
My uncle Joe, a lifelong firefighter in South Lake Tahoe, and his family live directly across from the area impacted by the tremendous wildfire that’s been raging since Monday. They’ve been in my thoughts and I’m hoping for the best in terms of their health, safety, and property. The last update I heard from my […]

Dan & Shira’s Wedding
Tuesday, June 19th, 2007 · Comments Off on Dan & Shira’s Wedding
Big congrats to our friends Dan and Shira, who were married right here in Saratoga Springs on Sunday! The wedding service itself was beautiful, and it’s safe to say that Jen and I came to tears at least once (though Jen more so than me). Dan and Shira were clearly one very happy couple, and […]

Friday, June 15th, 2007 · Comments Off on We Did Not Have $1 Million
The ever-poignant and hilarious Mark Morford has a column today that really hits home for this San Francisco ex-pat. Morford writes about the common plight of pretty much everyone who loves and lives in San Francisco: The inability to buy one’s own real estate. This was one of the many reasons that prompted our move […]
