still alive

Now that I have bored most of my innumerable readers into never checking this page anymore, I will summarize the last six months at the rate of 0.83 bullet points per month:

• I jumped out of a plane in October. It was fun, then scary, then fun.
• I went to Cheryl and Ed's house in November, for Thanksgiving.
• I took 50 people to Las Vegas on a work trip in December. For the record, running up a $20,000 hotel bill at the Venetian makes you a little bit of a VIP, but not as much as you would like. This was my room.
• I went to the Virgin Islands in January and February, and spent a week living on a 45 foot catamaran (sailboat) with five other people.

So why so unusually concise? Well the thing is, there is a new girlfriend on the scene. She is a corporate lawyer for the Google, and thinks blogs are weird and creepy and a bad idea. (Especially that post that was up here previously, which is why it is gone.) We will call her Helen, because that's not her name.

Anyway, am now getting ready to go to Death Valley, because it is that time of year. (This is 10 years, or 12, or something.) For the occasion, I bought the FJ Cruiser that I have been talking about since they came out in 2007. So let the record show, although it may take years, I generally do eventually do the things I say I will.
