The Tao of Me

TGIF! It’s Friday afternoon and I can hardly believe that I survived the week. The week started off with hours spent at the County courthouse for Jury Duty. Yes, JURY DUTY. It makes me irrationally angry that because someone else decided to commit a crime, others have to be inconvenienced by sitting in a basement [...]

I’ve known all along that weekends will be the downfall of my attempt to eat a better quality diet. So let’s see how this first weekend went: Friday Night My friend Wendy invited me to a SF Giants game in the Virgin America Suite! If you’re unfamiliar with the Virgin America suite, it’s one of [...]

Last night I went to only my third SF Giants game of the season. And I just realized that this is my first G’s post of the 2011 season. How can that be? Back in April, I went to the season opener (first home game since winning the World Series) and Opening Night (the night [...]

Workout: 19-mile run In thinking about where I wanted to run this 19-miler, I considered a few different trails. But really, a trail can only be so good for so many miles. And with the temperatures climbing considerably last week, I decided the City would be the best place to run. I have felt an [...]

Hello from the desert! We arrived late last evening and picked up our powder blue Crown Victoria car rental which told us it was 91 degrees outside at 9 pm. :/ We headed straight to my aunt’s home in the West Valley where my folks are staying (they happen to be coincidentally visiting at the [...]

Workouts: AM: Dailey Method PM: 5 rainy miles It’s been a really long day so this will be short. I ran a tough 5-miles tonight and learned that one shouldn’t eat a tub of salsa and blue corn tortilla chips before a run. I was pretty miserable the entire time. Oh and it rained. No, [...]

I’m back from my first of two Spring Training trips! While it was a lot warmer than I expected (I’m not a fan of hot weather), it was still a lot of fun! Here’s my top 10 favorite photos (in no particular order): {My first view of Scottsdale Stadium. These are the banners that were [...]

This is my first Wordless Wednesday post, but let’s be honest…I can’t just post something without any words. This is a Robb Nen autograph baseball that my friend Ron got for me a couple of weeks ago. Robb Nen was a closer for my team, the San Francisco Giants. He had over 300 saves and [...]

Green Day, my most favorite band in the whole world, sings a song about the “Time of Your Life”, but it’s also called “Good Riddance.” That’s how I feel about 2010. So last night, during a terrible bout of insomnia, I reflected on 2010, and concluded that if I had to sum it up in [...]

THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS. I still find those words hard to believe, but it really did happen. It’s been 20 days and only now am I attempting to write about the experience and what it’s meant to me. It’s somewhat overwhelming to attempt to do this, because of the enormity of it [...]
