I’m unemployed now

Tuesday, August 31st, 2004

Well, it’s official, I am now unemployed for a week. Feels good strangely enough. Got told I would be missed by quite a few people, above, below and beside me. And I will miss them and the job, but the headaches were just getting too much in the long run. When my best weeks [...]

Catalina Trip Part Deux

Saturday, August 28th, 2004

Dave McWilliams, Young Tung and myself went to Catalina today. We tried to launch out of the Queen Mary ramp, but it was full. So we drove around to Cabrillo launch, which had plenty of room. We then took an hour to go to the Isthmus, then out to the north end of the island. [...]

Collateral

Saw Collateral tonight. Fun movie. I played the game of placing the scenery, seeing if I had been on that offramp or not. Probably yes to most, but some no.
We’re still on for this weekend at Catalina. Saturday morning, Queen Mary launch ramp.

This Saturday I’m going to [...]

Dodger Game Last night

Saturday, August 21st, 2004

The Dodger game last night. A great outing by Jose lima, 8 innings of 1 run ball. But it was a tie game. Gagne comes in to pitch the 9th, and gives up one run. Adrian Beltre ties it up with a lead off solo homerun. We get two innings of Carrara pitching, and then [...]
