I just had this gut feeling yesterday morning that I didn’t want to go swimming. I wasn’t sure what it was. One friend got sick and couldn’t go, but before I could cancel it, had a discussion with another friend who was really excited, as it was her first time. So I rallied.
We met at [...]
Walking out of work on Friday my carpool buddies were talking about what they were doing for Mother’s Day: a card, flowers, a phone call, an SMS, etc. My mom wanted to play golf. She’s a good player, same with my dad, and I suck. My dad was in Golfing Army, or that’s how I [...]
It was sandwiched between a business meeting and a theater outing, so I really had to Day & Night Barbie (with a simple flip she turns from workaday to out-on-the-town). Walked up the PG&E trail, which is far more romantic than it sounds. It has a few very steep climbs and it’s challenging right [...]
I forgot how much I love to sail. Invited myself to crew today on Tink’s boat. There weren’t a lot of boats out- we thought because of it being a holiday- in reality, probably more because of the bad conditions. A guy helped us lead the boat into the slip after our sail, and commented [...]
Some friends of mine are taking adult swim classes- whenever I read that on the calendar I think: do you have to wear pasties and G-strings? No, no no. It’s all very nice and mellow, about seven folks in their 30s with an instructor, in the 5ft. part of the Y, late at night on [...]

I usually don’t have any. But this year, I find myself inspired by the motivations of others, so here I go:
- for 1 month, no wheat, to “recalibrate”. Looking at my Trader Joe’s checkout basket yesterday, realized I’m kind of addicted to fruit & bread.
- 30-minute cardio workouts in the morning. I don’t have a [...]
Headed out the first day of 2007 with two buddies- Kathy & Lauren- to do an awesome urban hike. First we had to meet Kathy at Polk & Sacramento. The idea was to walk there but we were getting short on time. So we walked up the steepest ever part of Russian Hill - to [...]
Walking back from the theater the other night my friend and I stopped in a Chinatown tea house to sample some tea for free. (Vital Tea Leaf). As these things usually go I’m a huge sucker and end up buying something. I bought some of the best tasting tea I’ve ever had. It looks like [...]

Second to last game, and I scored twice! I can’t f-ing believe it! I never score!!! I got 40% of our points! (yes another low-score game).
I talked to trainer (yes, I am the bastion of elite and do personal training sessions, which I excessively enjoy, as I’m a narcissist). And I talked to her at [...]

Took my dad out to golf a month ago, and went for a repeat with my mom this weekend. I do like golf, it just taps into a compulsive side of me that also really likes the game of pool.
I bought an expensive Nike “light bag” that revolutionized my game- I ended up picking up [...]
