Kitchen Remodel In Progress

We finally took the plunge and started our kitchen remodel. Basically we are pulling out all the cabinets and installing new ones. Take a look at our kitchen yesterday and today. We can't wait for it to be finished so we can invite over all of you, our family and friends.

Yesterday: Notice the 70's style linoleum and microwave, stove, oven combo. Everything about this kitchen spoke "bleh".


Today: Ah the sweet joy of release from bleh-dom. Notice the imprints on the wall of where everything once was. We can't wait for our new Ikea kitchen cabinets.

Morning Jog with Peg


Peg and I have been trying to stay fit by jogging few miles every couple days. Here's a shot of the trail we run on most of the time. It's pretty nice. We're very fortunate to live near a trail like this. Today we ran around a track instead of a trail. This way we can still run together and every once in awhile I can push a little harder.

That's Peg in the picture. We normally run on the trail to the left. Here Peg is mixing it up running on the blacktop.

Can't Sleep

I got up from bed tonight because I couldn't sleep. I'm not one that worries often but tonight I got stressed.

I'm hoping that writing in my blog will help calm my nerves. I need the practice. Writing that is. I've recently read quite a few blogs and discovered there are a lot of great writers out there. The blogosphere is a great way for people who are so eloquent with words in type to share their stories with us. I admire a lot of these writers and hope to improve my writing skills over time.

Ok, this seems to be working. I'm thinking so hard about how and what to write that I'm getting tired. You see how difficult this is for me? That's why for the most part all you see on my blog are pictures, movies, and short descriptions.

Good Night. All will be well.

ps. I love my wife and family. Times like now really highlight the important things in life and help bring clarity to my priorities.

1999 UC Irvine Computer Lab


I dug up this photo for the sake of old friends. This doesn't look like a bunch of computer-loving-sun-deprived group of guys to me. Any of you guys have updated pictures I can post of you? (jerry [at] onetri [dot] com)

Ok Go - Backyard "A Million Ways" Dance

Fun music, fun dance, mildly enjoying. I like the song.

I saw a version of guys doing this on the side of a mountain. Did anybody else see that version? I enjoyed it more. If so please send me a link. I can't find it anymore.

Stay in school

To all young people, please stay in school. Listen to your parents. Don't do drugs. Be a good person. Or... you may end up like this person.



This version of the video is a humorous remake of the raw video footage above.



If you need something fun exciting and challenging to do join me in swim, bike, run or triathlon.
