Nothing special - just another post

I've been waiting for something especially interesting to happen so I can post about it, but nothing really has. So here's just a boring update...

I went to San Francisco the week after Disneyland. It was for a school trip for mostly marketing students. We visited GMR Marketing, IDEO, Hewlett Packard, The Oakland Raiders, Electronic Arts, and Facebook. We also had an alumni networking night with some Bay area alums. It was a lot of fun to visit those companies and to see SF. It was the first time I'd spent any time there other than at the airport. I totally want to live in Palo Alto now. It's like the perfect city (except for being prohibitively expensive). It was also fun to get to know some of the first year MBA students a little better. There were only 5 or 6 of us old-timers vs. 15 or so of them.

Then for the last couple of weeks I've just been getting back into the rigors of full-time business school plus the part-time job. I'm starting on a new 4-month project for Abbott Laboratories. That's on top of the other project I'm still doing for Siemens. So, I may have more than one trip to Chicago in the coming weeks. I have to say, at least for me, the second year of MBA school is about a billion times more fun than the first year. The amount of hands-on experience I've been able to have has been super cool. I'm just at the point now where I am getting sad that it's going to be over so soon. It will be cool to have earned an MBA (from a top 25 school no less), but I will definitely miss being a student.

We went out in the (new) canoe for the first time a couple of days ago. As some of my long-term readers know, our old canoe was stolen back in Oct/Nov, and so we were forced to buy a new one. I absolutely love living on a lake, and I always half-jokingly say to Chrissy that backing onto a lake will always have to be a requirement for our future accommodations. I think the kids enjoy going out on the water and trying to feed the ducks. We didn't see any turtles this time, but I know there in there somewhere. I can smell them (just kidding). The kids' little paddles were stolen along with the old canoe so Laela and Ivy have no way paddling backwards while we're trying to paddle forwards. It's very sad for them, but we move much more swiftly through the water! Ha ha ha.

That's all.

I like Palo Alto also. FYI my mother spent some of her childhood growing up there and my grandfather's sister still lives there.
