Fitness Logging
OK – accountability is good, so I’m going to make my fitness data public. If you look at my Fitness Log, you can see what I eat, what exercise I do, and trends for my weight. It’s very cool, and allows me to track my progress – which has been slow lately. I’m certainly at […]
Tiger is the MAN!
As I write this, Tiger is leading the Deutsche Bank Championship by one – after just the first day. If he wins on Monday, it will be his 5th win IN A ROW. For those of you who golf, you understand just how amazing this is. For those who don’t let me explain. Individual sports […]
The power of friends
After having lunch with Abhilash today, it occurs to me just how import friends are. I’m not talking about “networking” – where you pretend to be friends with someone because you think they’ll be valuable to you at some point (and stop all contact when they realize you won’t be – a’la Matt Cutts and all […]
Live from Maui
It always astounds me how gorgeous Hawaii is. You think you recall the beauty, the weather, etc – but your memories just don’t do it justice. Came on Monday with Sydney, and Pam came down from Seattle (after doing well with sister Angie in a mini-triathalon in Seattle) and we’ve just been doing all kinds […]
Thoughts on running your own business
As I sit here on the verge of creating something truly great (and not just for money – to to build something that will truly last), it occurs to me that the reason most people don’t start their own business is pure fear. Afraid of the risk, afraid of failing, afraid of the lack of […]
New Trainer
It reminds me of my flight training – the first flight instructor I got yelled at me in the plane, having explained nothing to me in advance. There hasn’t been much yelling with Steve, but he’s also not giving me a lot of data to start with. Diet, milestones, future plans – all a mystery […]
Sydney’s Birthday
Tomorrow marks 9 years of my being a father. If you don’t have a child, you must think the phrase “They grow up so fast” is the biggest cliche’ of all time. Well, yes. But it’s true. I’m telling you – she was learning to walk YESTERDAY, and now she is asking when she can […]
I can see!
What with the trip out to Bandon, I forgot to write about my Lasik surgery. In short, I am angry. Angry at myself for not doing this years ago. I have used every imaginable kind of vision correction device possible. Glasses, hard contacts, gas-permeable contacts, soft contacts, extended wear contacts, daily wear contacts, torics, disposables, […]
Live from Bandon Dunes
With about 5 hours to go before our flight home, I thought I’d write about 3 of the most fantastic golf courses I can imagine even exist – Bandon Dunes. The Dad and I flew out Sunday night (Burbank to Portland, Portland to North Bend) and a 30 minute drive. Knew this was going to […]
Lasik and health update
Got a consult for Lasik surgery today – going in to get it done on June 21. On the myriad forms I had to fill out, there was a question “How will this surgery change your life?” – I couldn’t think of anything better than “Now I can wear cool sunglasses like everyone else.” Training […]
