Deli Day: Alternative Uses of a Friday

Picture yourself waking up this past Friday. It's around 8am and already it has the makings to be one of those immaculate California days that drives up our property values. The kind of day that gives you the urgent impression that something great must be found to take full advantage of such a fantastic moment in time. Below is a list of things one might consider doing with such an opportunity:

-Fly a kite on the beach in Half Moon Bay
-Unleash your bicycle on a sun-dappled ride over Skyline
-Mix a handful of stiff drinks and grill up some dead animals
-Oil up and get a headstart on the tan of the season
-Feast on ballpark food while booing whoever's playing the A's
-Launch the convertible at Yosemite for dinner at the Ahwahnee
-Hop a plane to Las Vegas with nothing but a load of cash

As you can see, this sort of list could go on for quite a while, particularly when you are able to invest the entire day in any of these ideas. Well Jon and I already had an idea (on the back burner for a while now), and due in some part to me skipping town the next day, we had to put it into action.

Thus Deli Day came to fruition, and believe me it was everything we had hoped it would be. From the time we sat down at 9am to our final departure at 3pm, Jon and I split sandwiches, leered at townies, cursed the local journalism, and toasted ourselves for finding such a peerless use of one of my last days in the valley.

Wes Anderson for AMEX

There's really no description necessary here. If you can appreciate the humor in Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums, or The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, then you'll be fine. If you hated all of those films, well then I've got nothin for you man.

Adobe Creek, Stage Five, First Run

Monzel and I went rafting this past Sunday, and as you'll see below, it was a total blast. I just got back from going again this morning, and that footage should be online by the weekend.

"Frankenstein never scared me..."

kangaroo024 by Jeff Sandquist So I'm surfing this morning on my toy of the moment (ORIGAMI) and I find the Photostream of my new boss Jeff. Should it concern me that I'm going to work with a man who appears to keep marsupials? Personally it just makes me think he and I are gonna be partners in crime. Man this is gonna be fun.

Professional 3.0

So this Spring stands to be the most exciting season on record. Lots of updates coming soon, and I'll be sure to deail them as they happen. The most important however, is an ongoing campaign that bears mention right nowt. I don't have a lot of time to explain it at the moment, and if I were to attempt to answer all the questions, I'd be stuck at this keyboard all night. So instead of that, here are the bullet points: -I'm leaving Apple...for Microsoft. -I'm leaving California...for Washington. I know, that information really just creates more questions than it answers (kinda like an episode of Lost). I promise I'll have more time and energy to explain everything in detail as I march through this month and next.
