It’s been a funky couple of weeks. Over the past two weeks, I have:
* Been to San Diego, Yosemite, Tracy, San Louis Obispo, Big Sur, Hearst Castle, San Buenaventura, and Marin County for the first time.
* Given a talk at a Red Hat Summit.
* Given a talk at a FreedomHEC.
* Surfed for the first and second time. More news follows.
* Driven from San Francisco to LA in a Red Ford Mustang convertible (with the top down, listening to Beach Boys music) and from San Francisco to Jenner in a Mazda Miata convertible, stopping over in Marshall Beach to eat Oysters and camp out under the stars.
* Sailed at night for the first and second time.
* Watched fireworks from San Francisco Bay.
* Crossed Tomales Bay at night, in gale force winds, in a dinghy.
* Hiked in Yosemite.
* Been pulled over by a park ranger (guilty of driving a red convertible).
* Been to the Haight district.
* Driven in downtown LA, San Francisco, and Palo Alto.
* Driven across the Golden Gate Bridge.
* Had bad cocktails and Martinis in LA.
* Stuck to my diet (excepting 6 Oysters that had to be tried).
* Discovered a renewed taste for Journey, Jewel, The Fray and The Beach Boys.
* Driven more than the rest of my life combined.
* Been to a gym after midnight for the first and second time.
* Eaten fresh Californian Strawberries for the first and second time (there really is no comparison).
* Figured out the Linux kernel module loading infrastructure.
* Devised a plan to make Linux driver support really rock.
* Decided to buy a car and do as many road trips as I can.
That’s just a small sample set of what I’ve been up to. I’ve got a lot more planned over the coming weeks as this project really ramps up – more excursions, more exercise, more living life. I have decided to throw myself at having fun while working hard, and living right.
Jon.
And visited me.
“working hard, and living right.”
You’ll be finding Jesus next.
