  • Nothing like walking super fast & far to try to make a play only to find out the time you had down is a hour late. Oh well. Slow walk back #
  • Saw one of the trash guys sift through our trash and snag some discs I had thrown away…. Isn’t that illegal? #
  • Really nice ride from Laurelhurst to NW. Note to self: bike more often. #
  • I may not have an MBA but I do have a calculator and some business just don’t add up #

  • Man that workout just kicked my ass. Why does the road to being fit have to be so tough. #
  • Filled up my car for the first time in 43 days. It’s not a hybrid, I just walk and bike a lot more now! LOVE living in the city of Portland. #
  • Wait a second, is that humidity out there. Bleech! Hot is one thing, but hot and humid is another. #
  • Holy crap. This guy sitting next to me at the junior parade is as big as a house. http://yfrog.com/5jk65j #
  • Big crowd at the Rose Festival Junior Parade. People seem way into it. I’m about at my max sun exposure for the day. Not a huge parade fan. #
  • Trying to make a meeting and got stopped waiting for a huge train that came to a dead stop at the crossing for a good 7 mins. #
  • Really enjoyable meeting with @jagatjoti lucky to have him here in Portland! #
  • Just got soaked walking home from my Yoga class at the Yoga Space. Had a fantastic class, so I didn’t really mind getting soaked to the bone #
  • Fantastic workout. 1hr on the elipitical 5 1/2 miles 760 calories and wasn’t a wreck afterwards. Really feel like I am making some progress. #
  • Just had a thing of Rice Protein from veganprotiens.com delivered by Robert Cheeke - Portland’s foremost vegan bodybuilder. That’s service! #

  • Any day that the Lakers get their asses handed to them is a good day. #
  • OH: “I don’t want to be all gossip girl or anything” - by a dad picking up his kids at my kids school. He’s like 40 and quoting Gossip Girl. #

  • Ok time to shed the weight I put on after injurying my back. http://yfrog.com/4xajvj #
  • This season of American Idol is fixed. If not outright than through the strong influence of the way they’ve produced the show. #
  • Off to play poker. It isn’t “my game” but it should be a fun evening. #
  • Even though we live in @realannieduke s old Portland home, her mojo didn’t rub off on me at the poker tourney last night. Made it to final 5 #
  • My workout today kicked my ass. #
  • OK, maybe it wasn’t fixed. I’ll have to say that American Idol was one of the more enjoyable ‘reality tv’ finales I’ve seen in a long time. #
  • A project that would have meant working with some friends got pushed way back, a bummer because I was looking forward to working with them. #
  • If you promote that @danwhiteblog is going to Twitter live at the UFC then he should Twitter more than 2 or 3 times #

  • More car troubles. Its not just the battery. Mercury Retrograde round 2. #
  • Warning. If you haven’t seen Star Trek don’t read Entertainment Weekly’s review, it’s as spoiler-tastic as they come. #
  • just got skunked by my daughter at dominoes, the girl’s got serious game when it comes to dominoes! #
  • I wonder if twitters new @ Reply policy is more an issue of reducing DB queries to technically survive more than policy shift #fixreplies #
  • “I understand. I’ve walked a mile in your shoes and my feet STILL hurt” #
  • OK I called it. Losing the @ replies IS a capacity thing http://twitter.com/geoffk/status/1785528986 #
  • My daughter beat two really solid players on Dominochamp.com #
  • Could American Idol be more fixed this season? I’m telling you, they aren’t playing by the rules. #
  • Score! Just found our missing Backgammon board (it was hiding at our old house). #
  • Holy Crap! Hannah just won a Domino tournament at DominoChamp.com… And she’s 10!! WOW! #

  • Car battery died so I got a jump start. Then a long walk in the rain to go get the kids at school. And it’s a Monday. Meh. #
  • Hannah’s home sick today, just put on The Music Man. Got to LOVE Netflix on Demand! The future of movies at home… #
  • Identity theft sucks and Oregon DMV is impotent in dealing with dealing with it. #
  • I try to enjoy my work but I try not to make what I enjoy work. #
  • Two idiots in a Standard TV & Appliance truck just took out a huge branch from a tree in Laurelhurst. It made a loud crash when they hit it #
  • Spent my morning in urgent care. Aaron got 6 stitches on his foot. Not fun. #

  • Antisemitism alive & well in America. My daughter gets accosted for a 2nd time for being Jewish by another 4th grade student @ public school #
  • Just found out our landscaper Steve died from pneumonia. He was a really amazing man, a maestro with plants and too young to go. Very sad. #
  • My daughter’s teacher is taking action over the incident but attributes it to the boy having a crush. In my time we sent notes. #
  • Rice rocks! It’s one of the reasons I love. Thai food so much. #
  • Got hit with some computer problems today, but I think I figured it out. Delaying the inevitable - buying a new computer. Ack. #
  • Up at 3:30 because Hannah has a little cough. Gave her some cough medicine and another tuck in. Why the heck am I twittering at this hour!?! #
  • Today’s the legendary “Oregon Trail Overnighter” don’t think I’ve seen Hannah this pumped in a long time. #
  • Shoe shopping for me is one of the circles of hell. So far it’s been a huge FAIL. #
  • : Pepsi has a new natural soda. Picked up a 4 pack at Mall 205 Target. http://yfrog.com/edjk3j #

  • AT&T is killing their VOIP callvantage service. Need to find a new one. Any recommendations! #
  • Narrowing down the VOIP options. Phone Power seems to be the lead contender, Via Talk or Ooma. #
  • I love how I can hop on the internet and see who got eliminated from American Idol and not have to watch the results show. #
  • Friday accupuncture appointment. My back is in need today. Nice walk here 25 or so blocks. #
