@NomdeB I don’t think age actually matters. What’s important is to be ready for each other at whatever ages you are right then. #
@bubbva yes, that is definitely a good commute. If it’s us time it hardly counts as a commute. #goodcommute #
@NomdeB Women often outlive men, so it makes sense for older women to be with younger men, rather than the more common older man+younger wmn #

Interesting technical point about this ^ video (Cloud Analytics): shot on my iPhone 4. Just need a good mic for it…  #
@bubbva Escaping the brutal SF-SCA commute was a big motivator for me to leave. #

Getting sweaty in the gym. #
Today I have cooked, cleaned, washed clothes, vacuumed, exercised, posted to my blog, edited video… day of rest? #

“The students were asking me to justify the return on investment in a college education. I just had never been called upon to think about this before. It wasn’t part of my training. We took the value of the business we were in for granted.” – this was from a New Yorker article, but the Kindle quote feature doesn’t handle magazine references properly, apparently. #

I’m not sure I actually care about public figures lying about things that are none of the public’s or the media’s damned business. #
I do care when they hypocritically and clandestinely engage in behavior that they fulminate and perhaps even legislate against in public. #
Don’t gripe and whine behind my back. Say it face to face, I’m open minded – then go and pack (the door’s thataway!).  #
