  • 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 […]

    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 […]

  • Long weekend…what did we do with it?

    Posted on May 27, 2008 by Dan in friends.

    All this free time on a three day weekend and I couldn’t really tell you what we did. Nothing too exciting…no BBQs, no hanging out in someone’s backyard to celebrate the kick-off of summer. But I will recount it for you anyway in thrilling detail because…we thought blogging would be a good idea. Definitely did […]

  • Quick updates to the work complaints

    Posted on May 7, 2008 by Dan in family, friends, work.

    Apparently, I like to update late at night. Something to check off the to do list before bed you know. **When I mentioned physical threats in my last post about work, I just want to clarify that I was not receiving threats, but a student in my building was and I have to mediate the […]

  • New favorite things

    Posted on March 10, 2008 by Dan in food, friends.

    Life is still rolling along I guess. Dan is now in Austin, working for South by Southwest, the big music festival, so I’m stuck here in Berkeley all alone. Don’t tell him, but I’m throwing huge parties while he’s away. It’s shweet. So, my new favorite things:1. BookmoochI joined this online group called which is […]

  • Shamelessly emotional.

    Posted on February 22, 2008 by Dan in friends.

    Well, four days is just the wrong amount of time for a cross country visit. After three days, you’ve just begun to be one with the time change. And then on the fourth day, you’re back on a plane losing hours as you fly. My body has been pretty pissed at me this week for […]

  • Valentines Day and blah blah blah

    Posted on February 14, 2008 by Dan in friends, random.

    Candy in red and pink wrappers? Overpriced flowers? It must be Valentines Day! Can you sense my excitement? I am excited to see some folks in DC this weekend, although the reason for coming home is not as exciting. But, this is what friends do. *Prepares, as part of College Crew bylaws, to rally* (If […]

  • 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 […]
