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…

Rest Day
So today I took a rest day… from running. I have been feeling pretty good on runs lately and it actually kind of sucked not running today. I didn’t get to enjoy the runner’s high. I did go to Arrillaga Gym for a quick 35 minute back workout before Real Estate Transactions this evening. I…
Smokey
There was an “offshore flow” weather pattern today that brought smoke from fires burning to the north and east of the bay area. It was almost like a mini display of what a volcanic eruption would do to the climate. The smoke was almost like a layer of high clouds and suppressed temperatures until it…
Un-August Weather
The weather in Western Washington has been unusually cool and cloudy this summer, but today was more like a day in March with gray skies all day and a steady rain all morning. The Seattle weather station set a record for precipitation for this date and reports on the eastside had rainfall totals of over…
Sunny days keep coming…
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…
Sunny Cali
A beautiful day today in Palo Alto. It really doesn’t feel like January when its 60+ degrees outside and sunny! I’m not used to wearing shorts and a t-shirt in the middle of the winter. I took advantage and went on a r un outdoors. The great weather is forecasted to persist through the weekend….
Costco!!
The highlight today was going to Costco – one of my favorite stores. I look forward to going to Costco like I do for a vacation! Let’s just say my food rations are set for a couple weeks. Today’s run was better than I expected. After the miserable outing on Monday, I wasn’t keeping my…
Arrillaga nice
I had a great workout at Arrillaga gym today. I mainly worked pecs with benching and cable cross-overs. On the bench I built up to 10 reps of 150 pounds. This is not my best, but pretty good for having not lifted in a while and last weeks sickness that left my muscles fatigue for…
