Yes, I replaced my perfectly good cell phone with a newer one… one that runs on T-Mobile’s 3G network which they are rolling out nationwide. The dark burgundy area is 3G around Seattle: So — how well does it work? Well, I went to the SpeakEasy Speed Test page and used my TinyToyComputer as the test […]

Shameless promotion of one of my non-profit clients… The Great Art Party! It’s this Saturday, and I’m going. Guest tickets are $25, for $100 you get a piece of art valued usually more than twice that amount, and if you are flush, there is the $300 Topaz Ticket which means you could walk away with […]

Nothing like rushing around finishing things up so you can get out the door and get to a meeting on time. Just as I was leaving Joannie dropped by her computer for a tune-up… in the hospital again. Meeting ran long, and the office was closed when I went by to check mail… another delay, […]

Since I seem to be wrapping stuff up (hence, yesterday’s vacation wrap-up) I thought I’d take a minute to review my dating history this summer. The cast of characters (in order of appearance): RB (Rent Boy) AF (Abercrombie-Fitch Boy) TB (Tattooed Boy) BH (Bangladeshi Hottie) UB (Utah Boy) And where are they today? RB was […]

Left BH (Bangladeshi Hottie) a little before nine and I was sitting in the Board Room at SFO after getting gas and turning in the car, and security a little before ten. Wow! I guess that makes his place in Hayward convenient. Not sure I could have done that from the boys house to OAK. […]

Out of the condo a little before 11am…traffic fine until right before the Golden Gate Bridge where we stopped to have a little snack before heading into San Francisco. Jill is off to the Hilton, I’m off to Hayward to meet up with the BH (Bangladeshi Hottie). All is well getting Jill to the Hilton […]

First, the most humorous picture from our time here at the Windsor WorldMark: Yes, that is four people and three laptops. We got out of the condo right at noon and headed off to visit Garry Ferrell Winery which Jill’s mother used to have a subscription to their wine program — great wine, pushy pouring […]

Honey, I don’t think we are in Cabo — way too many fields of grapes. Started the morning with Owner ReEducation for $75. One of the worst I’ve ever been to. Why? The laid off 6,000 salespeople and only kept the sharks — really aggressive sales people. Bad Rockie (my sales guy), Bad. By the […]

Yikes, these are the days that are hard — seems like non-stop. Work until 9:30 Board Room for breakfast at 10:00 Board flight at 11:30 Arrive SFO at 2:15 Out of airport with rental car at 3:00 Drive north to Sonoma Valley and find a Trader Joe’s for groceries and booze WorldMark Windsor at 5pm […]

Damn weather. What should have been a get up, drink coffee, go to a marketing meeting, pack for a trip day turned into a roller coaster day. I was up at 6:30 — a wee bit early for me. Discussions in the morning with Jill led to cancelling the Cabo San Lucas trip. Thankfully we […]
