Another beautiful day in the upper 70’s! It’s pretty tough to beat this kind of weather. I finally got out on a run after last week’s sickness and I was happy to exercise outside for a change. I was also happy I didn’t try to run much earlier than I did. My throat was getting…

81 degrees
It was a blazing 81 degrees Sunday in sunny Stanford, California. Spring is in full swing and it’s beautiful outside. These past few days have been idyllic, I need to spend some more time outside. Temps are forecasted to hold in the mid 70’s through the entire week ahead – WOW! Part of the reason…
TGIF Success
Yesterday I helped organize a TGIF at the law school and it was a big success. We ordered Thai food from Thaiphoon Restaurant and it was delicious – highly recommended. Thai is always a hit and we had tons of people come. In fact, the food was completely gone in 20 minutes! It seemed like…
Some political commentary
I think I am finally starting to turn the corner on the sickness. The nasal congestion is diminishing, my beloved voice is returning, and my taste buds are springing back to life (slowly). For no reason other than this, I am in a cheerful mood 🙂 This blog is not a political forum for me,…

We also went to a party where the average height and weight of the dudes there was 6’2”/220 (and that’s being conservative) – I felt…
Year of the Golden Pig
Happy Chinese New Year – the year of the golden pig! Yesterday I joined in on a Chinese New Years celebration and had some tasty traditional Chinese cuisine (not the American style). I watched the participants make the food on-the-spot. Update to post on too many boys in China: More bad news for Chinese men,…
February? Really?
As of 2:30 pm, it’s 72.4 degrees here in sunny Stanford, California and the temps are still rising! Sure doesn’t feel like a mid-winter day. The skies area gorgeous blue and the air is clear. I’d call this Saturday in mid-February a gem – only in Cali! Before I get too comfortable in shorts…
Weekday Review
I’ve been writing about mountain photography the past few days, so here is a little review of what has gone down this week here at Stanford. I have made good progress on my research paper on the “Hydrological Impacts of Alpine Glacier Recession in the Pacific Northwest.” The emphasis of the paper is on the…
