One of the things I have learned from spending long periods of time in the ocean is that the saltwater somehow tends to make the snot come out of your nose and hang on your upper lip in a little ball. This usually goes unnoticed because your whole face is wet anyway and you can't feel it. I've been out to Pacifica with a number of first-time ( Read more... )

Woohoo! Just won an auction on a mountain bike. Full-suspension Stumpjumper, XT and XTR components, plus disc brakes.

As he walked near Cambridge Hospital, he was struck in the head from behind and knocked to the ground. When he looked up ( Read more... )

Been in CA for about a month now. Pretty kewl. I moved into the Sunset neighborhood, a place that is foggy all summer, at all hours. There's a nice view of the ocean from my bedroom window, but I only just saw through the haze for the first time yesterday. Work is in Sunnyvale, about a 45-50 minute drive south. The weather is just the opposite ( Read more... )

had a really good dinner last night with Aram, Greg and a couple new friends at Everett and Jones in Oakland. Shared a big ol slab of ribs, tender and juicy, and slathered in some damn good sauce. With another bowl of hot pepper dipping sauce on the side, nice and red with the seeds in it. Plus a big plate of beef brisket that fell apart at the ( Read more... )
