- This weekend's run wasn't long, but it was hard. A few very fast people showed up and pushed the lead pack to do closer to 7 mile pace for the first six miles. This made the return trip much harder. 12 miles, over and done with.
- Saints that they are, Diane L and Gil T organized my bedroom and storage; I am so close to having everything in its right place I can taste it! If I just make one more run to IKEA, Office Max, or whatever and get my computer desk and a chair.. I will be all set!
- Andrea K's birthday party was at Bella Vita in Los Altos. Super extra bonus points to Derek P for making reservations at such a nice place.
- Yet Saturday had only just begun! This was followed up with a night of dancing at the Smash-Up Derby at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. I went out with Rachel J, Paula V, and some of their girlfriends. Mike S also stopped by with some of his friends. The DNA lounge is a cool venue, and has some major geek cred, due to being owned and operated by Jamie Zawinski (Netscape employee #20.) The DJs were pretty good and mixing and mashing up 80s dance and rock tunes (Michael Jackson, Joan Jett) with modern hip hop (Akon, MIMS.) They even had a live band play who mashed up Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Not too shabby!
- Sunday I went to the Art and Wine Festival in Mountain View. They close off Castro Street, which is the main drag downtown. The place is crammed to the gills with artists and other merchants selling their wares. It reminds me a lot of the Three Rivers Arts Festival.
- My high school friend Nancy B is in med school at Stanford. She is very very busy, but we both wanted the chance to go biking, so the best time ended up being this Sunday. Here is the route. 21 miles, with a big (well, for me anyway) climb in the middle. Ooof! Nancy is really good at biking; I hope to learn a lot from her and one day be up to her level.
And then I slept like a baby! Weekend over.
