Busy, Busy weekends
We are right now on opposite coasts, but one thing is the same - we are going to be much busier than normal this weekend.
Lauren - work 10-6 Saturday and 8:30-7:30 on Sunday
(I get quite a few breaks and none of it is physically tiring - don't worry!). The major upside to working on the weekend is I am in lovely weather and from my room at the Hyatt I can see the bay bridge, the old port building and the water. View from my window at 7:20 pacific time: (Sunrise is late here!)
Steve - We have some exciting news - a dumpster is coming a dumpster is coming! Steve has the not enviable job of emptying all our cabinets so they can start ripping out the kitchen. We never got a full-size dining room table, so hopefully we have enough free floor space for all the added pots/pans. Steve also will start painting the nursery.

An (almost) clean slate
People just came and picked up our guest mattress/box spring from the house. We discovered it doesn't fit in any other room and since we need to fit a crib now, it had to go. We sold it on craigslist. This was our first big sell this way and were quite please with the results. ---For my mom: they paid cash so I don't think we will end up on Judge Judy!
So what had been the guest bedroom, now looks like this...
Hopefully next week the walls and trim will be repainted.
I don't think the relative emptiness will last long. Tomorrow we will purhcase the dresser. My shower is in three weeks, after which, presumably, more boxes filled with baby stuff will need a good home! Oh, and the crib and glider/ottoman have been ordered but won't be in for some weeks. (A special thanks to Linda/Rick for the crib and Bill/Pat for the glider & ottoman).

Feeling unaccomplished
I just got my high school alumni magazine which, like most college ones with which people are likely more familiar, is a glossy set of pages to brag about alumni enough to make other alumni so proud to have attended this institution that they send money. (Unlike my college one it doesn’t have ads, nor are classes charged for it). I digress.
Apparently a student - Ryan Sager - that was a year behind me (making him only 27 or 28), and who I actually knew quite well being a fellow day student, has written a book. It has been reviewed and quoted by the Economist, the Wall St. Journal and has been the topic of 2 Times Op-Eds. He has been on CNN, Fox News and many other radio and news programs. I had heard he was on the editorial board of the NY Post (impressive enough), but this is too much.
Of course, had he been on the Daily Show or Colbert Report I probably would have heard about his book when it came out instead of months later.
The premise of his book sounds an awfully like another book I read “The Right Nation” that also argues that the Republican party is composed of two main groups that at some point are going to have to split as the glue that binds is becoming less and less effective. I think the Right Nation was more historical, however.
On top of this, another student I knew that was TWO years behind me (also a day student) just published about about how to use advanced math to evaluate poker moves. (I am sure his parents are glad he is using his Cal Tech degree to good use).
And up to this afternoon, I just felt like I was unaccomplished because I had a to-do list a mile long and need to do some laundy.
