Long time no post
Seven weeks almost I think I’ve been silent (except for a random side-link here and there). What’s up? Nothing much, just enjoying surviving summer. Looking back at my calendar from June I see a slew of weddings, trips back home to Chico, visits from friends and new co-workers, and a trip to Hawaii for a wedding reception (always a good excuse). Since then I’ve been dodging BART strikes like everyone else in the Bay Area and flying out of town every other weekend to catch up with Alexis who is still down in the 120 degree weather in Barstow.
The last weekend in July we have trip to Vegas planned (can’t frickin’ wait), and then I start my MBA program at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. This of course kicks off with a full weekend of three-legged races, “networking”, and what I can only assume will be heavy drinking with my future inmates classmates.
In the meantime, pick-up a copy of this (last) week’s East Bay Express, and read the essays in there about how our crazy Bay Area lifestyles have destroyed the enjoyment of slow culture that people moved here for in the first place. As I sit on the train on my way to work, I have to say that many parts of it ring true for me. I’m just glad that I have the option to not be stuck driving a car for two hours a day.
