Blogging Tunes: none; just the whir of the fans in the garoffice
For the non Phish fans, this blog title is a lyric from the song Down With Disease. And that's about how I feel right now! The past two Wednesdays I biked to work, with my San Rafael neighbor and Salesforce co-worker, Rob Lamb. Not to the ferry, but all the way to work in San Francisco. That's 22 miles, yo. I think I can safely say that I went and kicked its ass at this point. I have two doc appointments in a couple weeks -- Damon and Arron -- and I know in my heart, soul, and blood, that the news will continue to be good.

Yes, we are wearing dorky sfdc bike jerseys (thanks, Jay!) |
Also, last Saturday we went to Saanvi's birthday party which was at a pool in Foster City. Gaurav took some awesome pics, and when I saw this one...

... I figured it was time to replace the old banner with something more current.

New banner (Aug 2013)
|
Yeah, I know, the composition of the new banner isn't as good. You graphic artist types will have to forgive me; I am le tired.
Three other quick points:
1) Martin and I continue to exchange emails just about every day. I sent him some baby loot and he sent back this beautiful picture of Jenny and him holding the Sleeping Monkey onesie I got in Tahoe. Can't wait to see their baby wearing all the Phish and Philly gear (what else would I send them?)

Why'd you send my monkey on the train? |
2) Today was Floyd's first day of Kindergarten. "Long nights, short years" has never rung more true. Looks like Coleman is going to be great for him.

Phish shirt and a rainbow name tag - what more do you need? |
3) I am on a mission (via Salesforce) to raise $250k for the Leukemia & Lymphoma society's Light the Night walk this year. If you are so inclined, please consider supporting this great cause. I'm trying to raise $10k of the $250k myself and
my donation page is here; the
Salesforce National Page is here.

$31k is awesome, but... |
We're a long way from our goal, so we need your help. Many thanks to those that have already donated. If you are interesting in walking in your city/town,
