• Things I learned from my parents, part 3

  Posted on November 5, 2012 by KK in 100 things, family, growing up, lists.

  And we come to the final round. Some of these are pretty self explanatory bits of advice, and some of these are more broad sweeping values, both equally as important. 21. Proper grocery list writing.  Obviously, the correct way to write your grocery list is to write the items down in the order you will […]

• Things I have learned from my parents, part 2

  Posted on November 3, 2012 by KK in 100 things, family, growing up, lists.

  I know the idea isn’t to focus on me for my birthday, but I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who called/texted/facebooked/sent a card/came to dinner for my birthday. I took the day off of work and basically felt loved the entire day, which is really something you should do for a […]

• Things I have learned from my parents, part 1.

  Posted on November 1, 2012 by KK in 100 things, family, growing up, lists.

  It’s my birthday. I’m 30. I thought that this year, instead of focusing on me, I could do something nice for my parents, since they raised me, taught me life skills and values, gave me a foundation of the life I have today and lots of other nice things.  Hopefully they know that I appreciate […]

  Gone Shopping

  Posted on March 28, 2012 by Dan in Berkeley, family, food.

  Back in November, we showed you a bit of our day to day life.  I was planning to just update with a relevant photo, but then I realized this how reflective it was of our life week to week.  I hardly think of our life and work as anything but routine.  However, recently we’ve intentionally […]

  This could really be a good life, a good, good life

  Posted on November 2, 2011 by KK in Berkeley, family.

  So, yesterday morning, I had stayed home from the office to get some administrative work and some staff gift-making done free from office distractions. At some point, I looked around and thought “this is basically our day to day life personified” so I documented the moment, for your viewing pleasure. Here is Dan, attaching baskets […]

• Readjusting

  Posted on April 8, 2011 by KK in family, food, friends, travel.

  Since I last wrote, we’ve been to the East Coast and back. Some travel commentary: Our flight from San Francisco to Dulles took FOUR HOURS. I am not making this up. They told us it would take 4.5, which seemed ludicrously short even then, but it took just a couple of minutes over four. Doesn’t […]

  Impressive, no?

  Posted on April 30, 2010 by Dan in family.

  Last weekend, my mom completed her 3rd Avon Walk for Breast Cancer! She and her friend Loretta walked 39.3 miles over two days in the 90 degree heat. The whole walk had 3000 participants, including 271 breast cancer survivors, and they raised $6.8 MILLION for breast cancer research. STRONG.

  Congratulations v.14

  Posted on April 27, 2010 by Dan in family, growing up.

  Congratulations to my cousin Christine and her fiance Kevin!  They got engaged yesterday And isn’t this picture sort of ridiculously happy looking (this is not from yesterday, apparently they are always this happy looking). You may remember this post where I was having dreams about this very event, but my predicting the future skills are a […]

  Dad’s visit, Day 3

  Posted on April 18, 2010 by Dan in family, travel.

  (Sidenote: My dad came to visit in late March, and he’s going to be sending me his account of what we did on his visit. The day he is talking about we drove north to eat oysters fresh out of the water.) So many highlights – each day was unique and memorable! I’m jumping right […]

• Keep the warm thoughts coming.

  Posted on February 19, 2010 by Dan in family.

  Well I know after the last blog entry, you probably only thought that things could get better. But, you would be wrong. Not three weeks after my grandmother passed away, my grandfather (her husband) peacefully passed away in his sleep at home. It came as a surprise – while we knew that he was obviously […]
