  • Travel horror stores, v.2

    Posted on July 4, 2008 by Dan in travel.

    Well I’m finally here on the East Coast. It seems this is turning into a “Why air travel blows” blog but really, I do still love to travel and I do still love Southwest airlines, it’s just that my last few trips have been awful. I was supposed to leave Oakland around, have a stopover […]

    Posted on June 27, 2008 by Dan in family.

    Rose = My dad and my uncle’s relay triathlon team [relay meaning one of them swam (jeff), one biked (Mike) and one ran (my dad)] finished in front of 25 other relay teams. As my dad said “Not so bad for old guys” Thorn = 25 other teams finished before them. That’s right, they finished […]

  • This weekend’s roses and thorns

    Posted on June 24, 2008 by Dan in family, friends.

    When we have staff meetings and things, we use “roses and thorns” as a fun way to say “highs and lows” where people share the highlights and lowlights of their week, or day or whatever. How student affairs of us. Anyway, we went to the beach this past Saturday – we revisited Stinson Beach to […]

    Posted on June 20, 2008 by Dan in friends, kitties, travel.

    And now, a recap of our weekend in Ohio. With pictures! In full color! The Oakland airport. Morning of departure. Dan and a mint mocha chip frappucino (read = chocolatey sugar drink thing). Doesn’t he look excited? I honestly have no idea where we are flying over in this picture, but I looked out the […]

  • Remember, your closest exit may be behind you.

    Posted on June 18, 2008 by Dan in travel.

    So, we went to Ohio this past weekend to visit friends, and to go to a wedding. There was no 12 on the 12th this month because on the 12th of June we were flying all day. I did take pictures all day, but they all ended up being pictures of the ground from the […]

  • Favorite West Wing episode?

    Posted on June 11, 2008 by Dan in growing up, travel.

    I’m not sure about my favorite episode ever, but Noel is definitely in the top three. It’s a combination of the fact that it’s about Josh (love!) and it’s some of the best writing in the series, and Yo Yo Ma is on it, but wow. Everytime I watch it I get goosebumps. As I […]

  • Thoughts of the random type

    Posted on June 8, 2008 by Dan in random, we're crazy liberals.

    **Yes Ro we can go to Outside Lands. I mean, you can go with Dan. The whole thing is the same weekend as move-in weekend this August. Clearly, I will be busy. And unhappy about it. **Also, no Dan hasn’t written on the other blog (I Share Here). There is nothing wrong with your computer. […]

  • Weekend recap

    Posted on June 2, 2008 by Dan in concerts.

    Well, Dan kind of wrote an entry about our weekend. We all went ahead and had a social life, which was a new and exciting feeling. Saturday, REM was playing on campus in the Greek Theater, which is effectively a big ampitheater. One of the RD apartments is as close as you can get to […]
