I am becoming one of america's elite... that's right I'm going to wine country and here is my plan of attack! Napa Valley Ma p

Those be my new California digits.

I think I have adjusted to the time change; However, I did get up at 815 and I can't get back to sleep tonight. It's 1245 PST. 6 days in the state and finally I am close to being adjusted. This is not the point of posting. The other night we watched The Lake House before falling asleep (move to California and the first movie is about people living in Chicago... at least they mentioned San Francisco in it)This is the movie with Keanu Reeves sending letters to Miss Congeniality, who happens to live two years in the future. Now the acting was fine (as far as I'm concerned, but hey I love Keanu). My problems lies in the time space meltdown this movie endures. I expect a little more from a man who went on an excellent adventure with his best friend in a telephone booth. *SPOILERS!* So they write letters Miss Congeniality tries to save some dude she sees get hit bye a bus and goes to her old house to comfort. The letters start when she moves out she leaves an piece of mail with a...

I have been living in California for two days and I love it. Blue skies, breeze from the bay, nice people. Good Stuff. I drove over 2200 miles in a Penske 22 foot truck pulling my car but man was it worth it. Wednesday I start working at my new branch and from there it's on to the moon. or something. P.S. a minor perk is I no longer have to stay up past midnight for west coast sports. Like tonight I would have been in bed for hours missing the best NBA game I have seen in years; Mavs vs Warriors game 4 in Oakland. Crazy steals, buzzer beating shots, half court shots, tons of lead changes, with the Warriors pulling out the W right at the end. I do regret that I missed every Bulls playoff game thus far but that will change shortly. Hope your part of the country is treating you well. peace

So I discovered a cool new way to map out my life, discoveries, and opinions. On Google Maps you can create your own map. Put points of interest, give directions to people, place pictures in your map of these occasions, blah blah blah. That's not exactly what I'm doing. I'm just telling the story of P@. Where I've lived, food I love, vacations I've been on, concerts I've been to. It's pretty cool and not even close to where it shoud be at this point. I have the link on my main page. Check it out. Feel free to steal my idea. I actually would be pretty excited to read your map. Right now it's only places I've lived and a couple interesting side notes. There will be more. OH YES! There will be more.

Being that I am a super cool person you should take this as a compliment. It's official. Here's why: 1) I now watch Friends on almost a nightly basis. That's right. I who used to be so up in arms about Friends and sitcoms in general watch Friends almost every night. Marieta has shown me the error of my ways. The first half of the show (prior to Ross marriage to Emily) is as actually funny and original. All the interactions between friends are played out as if they are in romantic relationships. It's funny to watch to room mates fight over the other "cheating on him" by looking at a new apartment. The second half the show (Monica and Chandler together) is about six eccentric people who seem to follow the eternal ben stiller charactor ideology of let's do everything possible to make every situation.as completely over the top and unbelieveable (yet still hilarious) as possible. I think this is why Chandler is my favorite charactor to the end. He is the only ...

College Basketball. Since Illinois went 99.9% the distance a couple years ago (Damn you Luther Head) I've become a super fan of the game. Naturally I read a lot of commentary on it. My favorite commentator/game caller is Jay Bilas. He just gets the game, how teams work, and what makes a quality player. However he said something on ESPN that I totally disagree with about Florida and their retention of twice championship coach Billy Donovan: "...in my judgment, family considerations aside, Donovan turned down a better job [Kentuck] than the one he has... Florida is a really good basketball job, but it is a really good job because of Donovan and the work he has done there. Kentucky is a great basketball job for anyone. With a really good coach in charge, Kentucky simply has more resources, more fan support, more national interest, and more to offer any coach." I don't believe this to be the case. Florida is a better school because of Donovan but recruits are gonna look ...
