Don’t be a fool. Take the money and play.
Stop listening to Scott Boras and listen to me. You are getting old. You are coming off the worst season of your life. You are the last man I want standing at the plate in a clutch situation. Yet, you are revered by your teammates, adored by [...]

getting technical

Over the past month I have crossed into unfamiliar territory … tech country. After nearly six months of activating a Flickr account, I actually uploaded photos to the site over Christmas and used it for its intended purpose – sharing photos with the world. (Instead of just posting my smart-ass comments on Emily and Allison’s Flickr pages.)
And considering the [...]
Getting there

I recall registering for the Big Sur Marathon because I had unfinished business to complete. After being sidelined from last year’s race due to a torn calf muscle, I signed up this year with the goal of finishing what I started. But oh, how circumstances have changed.
Last year, I needed to prove to myself I [...]

My toothbrush is getting used to having her own space in the medicine cabinet again. And so far, I think she likes it.
You see, Thursday my manfriend and I came to the conclusion that we are better off as friends. We had one of those nice break ups that you witness only in movies. In [...]
Obama tag cloud
Posted in all, tagged inaugural speech, obama, politics, tag clouds on January 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I watched President Obama give his inauguration speech from a computer screen at work yesterday. Due to the high amount of Internet traffic, the streaming video paused nearly every seven seconds for a duration of about three seconds. Those frequent interruptions made it especially difficult to process his speech as a single unit, instead it read like segmented [...]
Inauguration Day

There are days that seem to blend into eachother. Days when nothing worth noting happened and you can’t really recall where you went or what you did. Today was not one of those days.
Today was a day that people wore T-shirts and buttons touting the name of the man who promised America change. It was election [...]

When I moved to San Francisco I knew it was a city renowned for its restaurants, quirky politics and steep hills – not to mention the iconic bridges across the Bay. But here’s what people don’t always know when they move here: San Francisco is home to the nicest cab drivers in the world. Over the past [...]
Sick Day – Part II
Posted in all, tagged sick days on January 15, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I am not cut out for being sick. To be honest, I am just not good at it. Recollections of the “sick days” of my childhood bring to mind images of me resting in my mom’s bed watching reruns of the Brady Bunch while sipping chicken noodle soup. Not to mention all the Jello I [...]

It was two years ago this week that my dog Cody died. She was a black Labrador retriever and resembled a cross between a bear and a seal, but she was more human than dog, more cat than lab. Cody knew how to fetch but preferred not to; she knew how to swim, but preferred lounging on rafts [...]
