Hollywood

Sunday was Laura's wedding, so we decided to head down early and have some well deserved fun.  The drive down from the Bay Area on Friday was long and we ran into Friday LA traffic, but it wasn't too bad.  Friday night we ate at Javier's Cantina & Grill at The Spectrum in Irvine, CA, which was probably the nicest Mexican restaurant I've ever been to.  After dinner, we saw Cloudy with a Chance of...

Traffic Spike

My site went from a daily average of 60 visits to a sudden spike of over 8,000 yesterday.  At one point 385 people were on the site, so I am happy my web server was able to keep up with the demand (thank you, WordPress and WP Super Cache).  The 400 pound snake story caused tons of people to visit yesterday from bing.com.  I was ranked third on Bing, and as of today I am...

By that time,...

Safeway Bring Your Child to Work Day 2009

I volunteered for Bring Your Child to Work Day this year and had fun watching the kids yesterday.  Ironically I think they taught me more than I taught them.  Our group had three volunteers for about 60 kids but they were surprisingly well behaved.  I had two bathroom runs, rescued a girl who lost her shoe in a race, and had to separate a battle for a wristband but we didn't lose anyone so I...
