I'm Alive!!

Hi, everybody!! I'm still alive, no worries!! I'm just having too much fun to type!! Wow do I have a lot to catch you up on!! Here we go...

Last week at the office was absolutely wild. With the two full-timers out of the office for a day, I was completely alone while pumping out "briefing documents" for clients who had interviews, etc. coming up. It was lonely in there...and eerily quiet...Dr. T, I have a new appreciation for the type of work that is done in PR!! I also worked on many minor projects, and made my daily treks to FedEx to ship client packages. It was plenty to keep my plate full.

Outside of the office, I never sat down. Between working out and sleeping, I smashed as many possible things into a week as you possibly can.

In this past week, I have:

-Eaten dinner with my brother at  5-star steakhouse.
-Attended Beach Blanket Babylon, which is a long-standing San Francisco show. The musical director is my cousin (on my mom's side), Bill Keck. Bill got me and my brother Producer's seats for the performance, and it was spectacular! A must-see if you are in San Francisco!!
-Been to Redwood City for a cookout where my brother lives with some of our relatives.
-Been to Napa Valley for a second time with my brother and another friend of his from college.
-Drove down Route 1 (which is stunningly beautiful!) to Monterey and had a fantastic dinner!!
-Laid on a beach in a cove next to the ocean.
-Gotten slightly sunburnt.
-Been to Fisherman's Wharf/Pier 39.
-Took a Ferry to Sosalito and ate lunch.
-Watched an NBA Finals game while having dinner at the Royal Exchange (Excellent place! Good prices!)
-Toured areas of San Francisco that I have not yet seen (Mission District, SOMA, etc.)

From the above, you can see that I have hardly sat down. As I lay my head down on this pillow, I am thinking about all the fun I have had. This trip has been a blast, and it is really hard to believe that I am only in town until next Friday.

However, I wouldn't want to miss out on anything. So, I am close to locking a time down with Dustin Rocke to connect with the Pac-12 offices, and I have a dinner scheduled for next Wednesday night with the Chief Operating Officer of the San Francisco 49ers. Plus, I am working out a time next week to meet with the head of the 49ers Communication Staff.

Throw in a dinner with two very close friends of my brothers on Monday night, a "going away" dinner with my mentor next week, plus somehow repacking my suitcase, and I will continue on my wild ride in California!!

Did I mention that thousands of people are coming to town this weekend and next for the Pride march? The public transit will be insane!!

I hope this catches all of you up on my adventure. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to sharing more in-depth stories upon my return home.
