Buddy's Ramblings
May 17, 2012: Happy Birthday to me!!
After starting it and having it sit around for a year, I finally finished my homemade bivy sack! Final weight and photos coming eventually...
Been making good use of Char's new bike lately. The other weekend we used our bikes and BART to get to SF to see Balloonacy - a room filled with lit-up balloons. Very fun! After that we met up with Marc and friends at Zeitgeist for some chilly hanging out.
This past Tuesday was Char's graduation! Very awesome to see her up on stage in full regalia!
April 26, 2012: Biking has been super fun! So far we've been going about once a week and going further each time... now I just need to get around to biking to work again sometime.
Went down to LA for Charlene's second cousin's first birthday! While down there we went to Disneyland and, for my first time, California Adventure. While there we both found our favourite new ride (I also enjoyed the Tower of Terror). On the way home we stopped at Harris' Ranch for dinner (a fine way to end our giving-up-meat-for-lent).
Speaking of meat, that week we started something Marc and I are calling "Steak Month" -- where each week we try a different steakhouse. So far we've been to: Boboquivari's, Hillstone and L'ardoise. Next week is the final week and we're currently voting on where to end off...
That Saturday we went skiing at Kirkwood and enjoyed a bunch of fresh powder. It was so nice we went into some black-diamond bowls we hadn't tried before! Super fun. Then I wiped out and tweaked my knee on the bunny slope. Go figure. :P
The day after I went to my first baby shower! Charlene and I knitted up some booties and hat for the soon-to-be-baby (finished minutes before entering the house).
This past weekend biked down to Berkeley and watched Nicole play field hockey (my first field hockey game -- so many firsts!). Next we biked to a coffee shop and did some work (on week 5, of 6, for my crypto course). Topped off the day with some errands and dinner at Marica.
March 31, 2012: Happy World Backup Day! Very appropriate that my NAS just arrived and I'm going to set it up. How exciting!!
In other news, Charlene got a sweet bike today... hoping the weather will clear up and we can go riding tomorrow.
March 29, 2012: I've been wanting to update for weeks now, but too busy! Let's see here..
Went diving at Pt Lobos! Used Nitrox to try out my new certification.. also had my GoPro on and took some video (but then never edited it into something awesome like I'd planned on).
Then Dinner for Eight, kids' birthday parties, Banff Film Festival, SF Ocean Film Festival, skiing, Game of Thrones on DVD, 3-year (dating) anniversay with a fancy dinner at Manresa), beta'ing RIFT in Korea, taxes, learning Fair Isle knitting...
A normal, busy, month. :)
March 2, 2012: Pictures from the caving/skiing trip are up! Also picked up my EAN40 dive card this morning -- yay I'm certified!
Yesterday was RIFT's birthday and we had a fun celebration at work. :)
