I woke up at 8:30am local time and felt pretty rested all day. I was also reminded of the time change this weekend so I should be more than rested by Monday. Today was pretty slow and relaxing. My girlfriend Chris and I had our usual breakfast lately of eggs and the amazing chorizo she … Read more
I got up at 3:30am to get ready for my 6:30am flight. I like to be at airports early and considering it took me 45 minutes to get through security, I’m glad I did. Got a egg / bacon/ sausage “pocket” at one of the food stands and was mostly ok for food till I … Read more
Morning networking in Folsom was different because there was free breakfast funded by SMUD, the Sacramento electrical utility, with the money run through a separate non profit business networking group. I don’t really know how that works but it stays on my mind because I keep feeling someone is taking advantage somewhere and I’m not … Read more
The Wednesday networking group has a more “fun” theme in general so they had bingo rather than traditional networking. It was ok but not a super exciting use of my time. When I got back home I did some final tidying up and my mom and step dad arrived back home. All of the evidence … Read more

I spent today relaxing though I did read some marketing books. Finished one that is practically a pamphlet about how better to interact with people. Nothing surprising or tricky, just common sense understanding of people’s self directed and self centered nature. It was recommended by someone from the networking group and got good Amazon reviews. … Read more
I drove to Berkeley to visit my daughter Catherine. I had not done much research into where to eat and the first spot wasn’t suitable. It got decent Yelp reviews however in hindsight I see how I should have interpreted those reviews differently. It is apparently a favorite spot for hungover students. However, there was … Read more
I had a good walk in the morning and got some inspiration on text for the video I want to do with the guy from the network group. I wrote up a rough draft and sent it over and he liked it and mocked up the first scene of the video. I’m glad he is … Read more
At the Folsom networking I talked to a couple of new people who may be business opportunities. I also talked about working with someone I’ve met there on a joint project. He does marketing videos. I’m taking up writing. We like talking to each other so I offered that I do words for one of … Read more
