Olympic National Park > San Francisco > Steamboat Springs... what a week!

in

Some of us had a hell of a week last week! (Me)  With taking the visitors from Los Angeles camping in the Olympic National Forest, traveling to San Francisco for work and then rolling onto Steamboat Springs for the wedding of one Matthew Lieber, it was quite the busy week for me.  

It was a rare week that I was able to see a good portion of my friends from LA, San Francisco and Michigan all within the span of 10 days.  It's amazing that so much time can pass between seeing your friends and loved ones and yet it feels like no time has passed at all.  I am very greatful (#blessed) for the time I was able to spend with everyone during this crazy week of travel.  It goes without saying that this trip on trip on trip craziness will probably never happen again, so the short term exhaustion was well worth it.

To friends! 

August days in Seattle

in

Just another August Saturday in Seattle.  Taking a few minutes to soak in the view as summer will be over before you know it and the chill of fall will soon fill the air.  Get it while you can I guess. 

Find Yours

in

Working for a company who's advertiting slogan is "Find Yours" I have tried to do just that in my life, adopting it as a personal mission statement over the past two years.  I've challenged myself to go someplace different every month and adventure to places which in the past I'd never had thought to go to or see.  I probably am doing a bad job on the diversity of places as California tends to get a lot of my visitations, but I am always looking to find something new, try some place different to see as much as I can.  There's so much more to do, so many more new friends to make and a lot of life to live.  These are exciting times.

See Ya February!

in

While you were short, you sure were a lot of fun.  Brief highlights: 

  • Seattle winning the Super Bowl, while not my beloved Detroit Lions, was great fun to be around and made everyone in usually a gloomy month, very very happy.  
  • Taking a short work trip to San Francisco, being in some warm weather for a few days was very invigorating.  Seeing old friends and current work colleagues was an absolute pleasure as the cold and rain in Seattle really starts to get to me in the winter time.  
  • Finally getting some snow here in the mountains so we could go skiing was prettttty great as well. 

All in all, February was great fun and hopefully March continues on the same.

Places visited:

  • San Francisco
  • Stevens Pass

My Candlestick Park Memories are of Defeat

in

So the 49ers are moving to the South Bay where all of the tech money is.  Fantastic.  It's great I was able to attend two games at Candlestick Park before the 49ers move to Santa Clara. Although the stadium was a hell hole, being there in the sunshine one second and having the temperature drop and the fog roll over into the stadium in a matter of 15 minutes is something i am glad I was able to experience. Granted the two rooting interests I had both suffered defeat at the hands of the 49ers but overall a pretty great life experience for someone who enjoys sports as I do.
