  • A year in the life

    Posted on February 9, 2008 by Dan in Cal, city walks, family, friends, kitties, San Francisco, travel.

    I was sitting around here tonight enjoying my fantastically quiet evening and realizing that this time last February I was still in grad school. In fact, this time last year I was probably sitting at home hanging out doing nothing (unless Dana dragged me out on the town) and watching TV. Isn’t it crazy what […]

    *We finished Season 7 of the West Wing last night. We’re both kind of sad actually. I know, it’s not like we can’t just watch the whole series again (since we now own the complete series) but it’ll be awhile before that happens I think. You know who I still don’t like? Amy. *Our cats […]

  • Late night random thoughts, volume 2

    Posted on February 4, 2008 by Dan in Uncategorized.

    *We’re working through West Wing season 7 and I honestly forget sometimes when I turn off the show that the characters aren’t real candidates. When I remember and figure it out, I get sad. No seriously, I would vote for Martin Sheen every election for the rest of my life if I could. *So, we’ve […]

  • Sleep cycle=confused.

    Posted on February 1, 2008 by Dan in update.

    Yes, it is 2:37 AM PST as I’m writing here. My sleep cycle is ridiculously thrown off…and I’m not sure why. I have been working everyday (albeit a little later and later every day for the past week) and on the weekends, we’ve been up and out of the apartment early for day trips. It’s […]

  • Random late night thoughts

    Posted on January 31, 2008 by Dan in food.

    *I had my first meeting with my new supervisor today, which was great. I think I’m really going to enjoy working with him. We talked about how I would like to work for Semester at Sea soon. He’s going to help me out I think. Excitement. *I finished my non-fiction book of the month tonight, […]

  • 50th post. Woot.

    Posted on January 29, 2008 by Dan in travel, wine.

    It really has been a fun month for us out here. Having a car has allowed us to get out and see Northern California beyond Napa Valley. Don’t get me wrong, I could hang out in Napa for days and days, but variation is good. Last Saturday, we drove down to Monterey, which is directly […]

  • This past weekend’s cool stuff.

    Posted on January 23, 2008 by Dan in kitties, travel.

    It’s been a while since I have written, with no excuses, I’m sorry. As you all know, I’m currently working on a project for YouTube that pretty much dominates my time, but I get to go to NY in Feb. and we have a car for the duration fo the project. I’ll be able to […]

  • Photos from the sheep farm

    Posted on January 22, 2008 by Dan in family, travel.

    900 sheep on the sheep farm. Plus, some horses, dogs (Great Pyrenees, who live full time with the sheep) and 2 llamas (named Troy and Ben, for the Steelers players, who protect the sheep from coyotes…no, I don’t understand how the ratio works) It was actually sunny and NOT an Artic tundra outside as they […]

  • yuck.

    Posted on January 18, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, work.

    Today, my friends, was a bad day at work. These are the days that I wish I lived near many of you so that I could call you and we could get a drink after work (or a few) and I could vent for awhile and you’d make me laugh and then I would feel […]

  • Much apprehension.

    Posted on January 15, 2008 by Dan in friends, travel, wine, work.

    So we are in the precarious place of “I havent updated in so long, that I don’t even know where to start, so I think I’ll put it off until tomorrow.” Clearly, I have been there for a quite awhile. But, instead of starting this post with an apology of why I haven’t posted in […]
