hammerhead and I are here at the HP Pavilion watching the Sharks play Colorado. My first hockey game! Damphouse scored with 9 seconds left in the first period and the Sharks lead 1 – 0.
Yo, fluxions, Matt says hi.… Read the rest
My business cards arrived today, so I now have a job title.
“Project Manager.”
God, how embarrassing. I’m MANAGEMENT now. Except I don’t even have anything to manage. Yeah, the PROJECT, but, um.… I DO the project. And most of the time it seems unmanageable. Ah well. I guess nothing really changes with the arrival of printed business cards.… Read the rest

Heh heh heh… ugh.
Five miles today. I targeted a heart rate of 150, was closer to 155 through most of the run. I finished in 59:49, just barely faster than 12 minutes to the mile.
I can’t say I like going that slowly. It feels just as difficult as 9 minute miles but without the extra fun. I guess the point of this is that eventually I should be able to do 9 minute miles at 150 bpm and then … Read the rest
I won’t say I actually swam in the Bay; I spent 15 minutes standing in the Bay up to my waist before I plunged the rest of myself in. Then I spent about five minutes splashing around a little. I didn’t make it out to the buoy that marks the beginning of the swim.
I did notice that my upper body was more affected by the cold than my lower body. If I could have gone in with an upper-body wetsuit, … Read the rest

8 miles, 1:22:58 on Urbano Drive. I kinda wanted to go the 9th mile, but I was pretty crispy by then, so I’m glad I didn’t.
Followed that up with another personal best by swimming a kilometer in the pool. 45 laps is 1012.5 meters and I did that in 38:13. Of course swimming in a pool is relatively easy; you can touch bottom to rest, kick off against the … Read the rest

Sea of hurt I feel the waves of pain
And now the tide’s come in again
Caught in vicious cycle of despair
Give me the courage to face another dayâOh!Oh sing a song of joy
Sweet childhood never desert me
Time for celebrationâOh!
overcome with a sense of elation
I’ll never let you get to me
Survival is my victory
Time for celebrationâOh!
overcome with a sense of elationI sat in silence I was mourning
I said sorry a thousand times

Safely off the airplane and back on home turf. As much as I didn’t want to leave, I have to admit that it’s nice to be back in San Francisco. The trip to Nashville was too short, but it will be nice to sleep in my own bed and it’s already nice to hit familiar spots instead of being a guest in a strange city.
Had dinner at the World Wrapps by Safeway on Market Street. There’s a woman I … Read the rest
