I had class in Berkeley yesterday, so I decided to make a day of it. I went over in the morning and was able to get a tour of the Clif Bar office. It was awesome. They have a barber shop, a performance theater (plays, speakers, etc.) and a fitness center where they have everything […]

Brian Davis and I rode with the First Rate Mortgage cycling team this morning.  Brian has been in Croatia with his wife for a few weeks, and was able to smuggle about 15 pounds of his mother-in-law’s food back into the country by storing it as love handles, back fat, and a recently rounded abdomen.  […]
