Life is pretty busy.  Scattered highlights from the past week: 

-a sprained ankle from jujitsu (after the first 3 minutes of class),

-SF Bay cruise for Steph’s birthday (not rainy, not boring, very cool),

-an amazing all-expenses-paid computing conference in Baltimore (400 help desk managers and IT folks just like me, sorta),

-sadly, I did not get to deliver any babies while in Baltimore.  But I did sit in my hotel room and watch TV at night.  That’s okay.  One of these days.

-a side trip to see Amani in DC (and her very cute, photogenic, little brother Ascari),

-lots of Week 3 work at Meyer (in order to implement some good ideas from the conference),

-reading a textbook about the New Testament (why did I never think of this before?),

-waiting for a mentor to familiarize me with the oncology wing at Stanford Hospital so I can start going on my own,

-starting a Berlitz Spanish class (nunca hablamos ingles en la clase),

-taking delivery of the Prius after a five month wait (I got the call while in DC),

-destroying flesh-eating (well, more like rice-eating) molds at Baines,

-watching HDTV on my projector (I don’t even like TV, but it’s like you’re really there.  Really.),

-and a call from a long-lost high school friend. And another one from freshman year at Stanford.
