Today I made my return to “The Dish,” a hilly 3.2 mile loop (gate-to-gate) in a natural area managed by Stanford University. The total run was around 7 miles with an extra loop of Lake Lagunita and running to and from Studio 2. It has been some time since I have run the Dish loop…
Mount Shasta Plan
Along with Matterhorn Peak in Northeast Yosemite, I plan on climbing Mount Shasta this May. I will be bringing along some newbies so I intend on doing one of the easier routes from the Bunny Flat Trailhead, probably the standard – Avalanche Gulch. As you can see from the picture below, the route looks like…
Tamar Photo
My niece Tamar! The shirt speaks the truth… She is now 8 months old and gets to go on her first trip next week when she flies down to visit my other sister in Monterey.
Last class of 2L year
Today was the last class of my second year at Stanford Law. It’s amazing how fast it’s gone. I have only one year left and I will actually be a practicing lawyer. It’s still kind of a weird thought, but I’m beginning to see myself being successful in the “real world.” After all, Stanford is…
Earth Day 2007
Happy Earth Day! Take a second (or longer) to appreciate the magnificence and splendor of the earth. Remember, it is in our hands to keep it beautiful for generations to come. I highly recommend watching the series entitled “Planet Earth” on the Discovery Channel to see many reasons why our planet is amazing! NBA: Big…

Early Wake-Up
The last early wake-up Friday is now over and I can sleep peacefully at night knowing I don’t have to wake up for anything. I have one class remaining Monday evening and then it’s all review and studying for the final. I’ve got to be diligent about studying the next few days. Other than NBA…
NBA Playoffs
The NBA regular season is now over and the playoffs are set. I am excited for some great match-ups, especially in the ridiculously deep western conference. I’m really pulling for the Golden State Warriors to cause the Dallas Mavericks some problems, and I think they can with their high-octane offense. I think every series in…
Peak to Peak Gondola!
Whistler-Blackcomb announced yesterday the construction of the Peak to Peak Gondola (P2P), to be completed in December 2008. According to the press release, “The two mountains will be united by a gondola that will set world records for length and height while providing an unmatched experience for winter and summer resort guests.” The lift will…
Wild Sky Wilderness
The results of a Democrat controlled Congress are already manifesting. After repeated failure to even bring the Wild Sky Wilderness proposal to a vote in the House, the newly composed Congress has finally turned the tide. After expected passage in the Senate and signing by the President, 167 square miles of pristine forest and rugged…
