Coyote and the winter sky
This bronze coyote sits atop a tower marking a jogging/bike path along the Guadalupe River Parkway that runs adjacent to Adobe’s office complex. As I left work at 4:00 PM by the the Park Avenue ‘back door’, headed for the 4:25 Caltrain from Diridon Station, I couldn’t help but be struck by coyote’s dramatic winter […]
A pleasant, quick and healthy way to get to work
A 9:00 AM meeting at Adobe meant getting right up (5:45 AM) to get in my 1.8-mile Cassie walk, before getting cleaned up and starting off at 7:00 to walk the mile to the Marguerrite 7:30 B-Clockwise shuttle to the Palo Alto Transportation Center and Caltrain.
My goal is to continue walking 4 miles minimum on […]
Blogs (this one anyway) are always better with pictures
Last night’s text posts just seemed kind of blah, graphically, so I used the opportunity of Linda, Cassie and I taking another old favorite hike - or actually a short part of it - to snap a couple of pix to perk things up.
This morning we drove to the parking lot at the foot of […]
A picture like a painting…
Linda ran the the tough Big Dish loop this morning, featuring rain, I noted, looking out the kitchen window, that started just about as she hit the half-way point: nothing to do but make ones’ way home (I’ve been there in my old jogging days). She did finally arrive home dripping and soaked to the […]
A small, warm celebration…
So, we’re feeling, um, buoyed by recent events, even though we realize we’re still at the beginning of a long journey. We had planned a dinner in tonight with friends Cathy and Mike (I’m slowly returning to picking up my chef’s knife) after a full day helping with various stuff (Cathy is the co-chair of […]
A very good day at UCSF China Basin
MRI images are like photos: it’s really difficult to take a photo of a living object from exactly the same position months apart. Nevertheless, the 2 images above show the same tumor in my head, left, as of this morning, and right, on December 7, 2006. The angle of the MRI is different, as […]
Cassie, the time-exposure dog
So, we’re headed up to UCSF this AM for a full day of procedures and a consult with my oncologist, Dr. Susan Chang. UCSF is a remarkable institution, and its fine, bright, knowledgeable and relentless doctors and other staff have brough great hope to me as I confront a strange and bewildering disease.
So, I don’t […]
Longer day…
Once again, my WFH (work from home) day, was more intense than any of my physically-at-Adobe days this week. There were the 6 meetings on my sched, of course, but then stuff began poring into the inbox at a pretty amazing rate.
I walked Cassie, finished a written report, and then started 5 hours of meetings […]
Long shadows, long day…
The good news about the ‘dead’ 8 AM meeting is that I worked nearly to the bottom of my to-do list today (remember, we are fast becoming ‘Mr. Time Management’ as we near completion of our GTD course) before catching the 4:25 to Menlo from SJ Diridon (and observing the pretty long shadows cast by […]
The crack of dawn…
Wednesdays have been our one of our more challenging, if ultimately enjoyable, commutes to work@Adobe days. An 8:00 AM meeting, scheduled in part so teams in India can participate by phone and video, means I need to start the pleasant walk from home to the Stock Farm Marguerite stop shortly after 6:00 AM.
I’m a morning […]
