Jeremy’s blast from the past #1

Jeremy’s blast from the past #1

Did you know I used to be crazy about baseball, and even more crazy about baseball card collecting? When I was about 10 or 11 I used to sort baseball cards for a guy who owned a baseball card shop in town. He evidently liked me and took me under his wing to teach me the business with his son (the one putting me in a headlock at a baseball card convention). To this day, I have lots and lots of cards I don't plan to ever sell,…

Pleasanton Ridge hike

Pleasanton Ridge hike

Christina and I hiked the Pleasanton Ridge and had a great time today.  We couldn't have asked for better weather, but I think we both got more sun than we intended.  I spilled some iced coffee on my shirt about 25 minutes into the hike, if you're wondering what is up with that.  I know who hikes with coffee?  Yeah Jeremy does and that didn't work out so well for me.  About 40 minutes into the hike we ran into a couple and asked where “the top” was,…

Dean and Deluca St. Helena

If you are ever in St. Helena, just outside of Napa, be sure and check out Dean & Deluca.  The only thing I make sure and buy every time I'm there is Cock & Bull Ginger Beer.  I'm pretty sure it is the most manly soda a person can drink if that is what you are going for in life (me...not so much...I just love bold tastes).  I'm also a grocery geek, and this is a great place to see how others are using their marketing skills in…

Here are some more pictures of the rafting trip from a few weeks ago.  After rafting we sat and watched people wipe out for a while and as you can see I was wiped out (exhausted).  I started lifting weights every morning for the past few weeks after going through that rafting trip.  I quickly realized how little I use my muscles when paddling down a set of rapids for an hour and a half. I also included a video someone gave me, and I'm not in the…

Charlotte, NC

A good day traveling yesterday from Oakland, CA to Charlotte, NC.  I think I've been ready for some time away from the office for a while now.  Sprint was nice enough to lend me a Galaxy Tab a few months ago to try out, which I've been loving.  I truthfully haven't fully understood the tablet trend because I take my laptop wherever I go and love having a full keyboard.  That is, until I traveled for 7 hours on a cramped cross-country flight.  The Galaxy Tab performed like…
