Today I had a really fun negotiation exercise for real estate transactions class. I negotiated the lease terms as the tenant with the landlord, which was another student. We each met with a practicing attorney to discuss strategies and then did the negotiation as they observed. After the negotiation, they gave us feedback on our…

Into the Wild Soundtrack
I have mentioned the awesome soundtrack to the movie “Into the Wild” in the last few posts and I can’t seem to get enough of it. Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam is simply brilliant and deserves an Oscar for his effort. All the songs are just so powerful and bring back the deep emotion from…
Global Warming Link?
It’s obviously impossible to peg global warming as the direct cause of the tragic and devastating wildfires in Southern California this week, but all indications are that global warming is indeed creating the conditions requisite for calamities like this. In addition, worse news arrived this week that global warming is occurring at a faster rate…
Wunderlich Run
Today I ran at Wunderlich park, doing the same exact route I did last time (77 minutes, about 12 miles). I felt generally crappy on the uphill but somehow the run was still pretty fast. I guess that is a good sign when times are fast even when feeling slow. Part of what made me…
Slideshow
Today I gave my slideshow at the Stanoford Alpine Club. I think the people who came enjoyed the nearly 500 photos (I hope they didn’t get mountain photo fatigue). The turnout wasn’t super, but hey, you can’t win them all! I also officially gave up looking for my sunglasses which disappeared somewhere last Thursday. Oh…
Into the Wild
Yesterday I saw the riveting and powerful film “Into the Wild” about a young man who goes to Alaska seeking complete detachment from society. Sean Penn did a marvelous job as director and screenplay writer. I now look forward to his future directing pursuits. I also enjoyed Eddie Vedder’s soundtrack to the movie; his vocals…
Pacific Grove Visit
Today I drove down to beautiful Pacific Grove (near Monterey) to visit my sister. I always enjoy visiting my sister’s gorgeous victorian house right next to the Monterey Bay! On the way, I stopped in Marina to see the grand opening of the REI store and picked up a free water bottle. The amount of…
Lunch Speaker Series
Today the Stanford Law and Business Society put on its first event of the year, a lunchtime speaker event with Benjamin Heineman. The event went well as Mr. Heineman was an excellent speaker and the crowd seemed very engaged and interested. The Thaiphoon lunch was also tasty as usual. Our next event is Professor Grundfest…
Golden Hills Trail Marathon
I ran the Golden Hills Trail Marathon this morning in the East Bay Regional Parks of Tilden, Sibley, Huckleberry, Redwood, and Lake Chabot. I finished first overall and ran under 200 minutes for the course or 3:19 (saying I broke 200 minutes sounds way sweeter 🙂 ). This time broke the previous course record by…
