On Thursday I leave to Paris for 2 weeks to visit Noelle. It’s been a few months since she’s left and while I’m surviving, this will be a good fix for the remaining time she’s there. So what’s new … I FINALLY closed escrow on my land!! The pending item securing the permit with the city and that just happened Wednesday. Now the real fun of building begins. I still haven’t secured a builder but am in the process of interviewing.

I moved into a new apartment in Sunnyvale with my buddy Eric from college. The last apartment I had raised the rent about 45% on me in two months (no there is no rent control) so I figured that if I was going to be paying that much for rent I might as well move away from the train tracks . In the process of the move, I lost my point and shoot camera which is why you haven’t seen many picture updates from me. I have a new camera on rush for my trip to Paris. Hopefully I’ll get to post while I’m there (or at least sometime in the next 2 weeks as opposed to 2 months)
