Thoughts on Fatherhood and other near-death experiences...
We were sitting in Lynnwood (WA) Olive Garden tonight, conversing sans child (Isabel is staying with friends...) as we await my wife's final amniocentesis prior to what will probably be Rory Alexander's birth at UW Medical Center. Once in my life I was a high five figure professional. I consulted for Fortune 100 companies, I ran trading floor technology for firms with names like JP Morgan, Montgomery Securities, Merrill Lynch, etc. My life involved rising well before dawn, transiting by BART or commuting long hours to Silicon Valley. My mind and day was wrapped in whatever business model or technology the corporate world demanded of me. Not too strangely, I felt spent and drawn at the end of every week; sometimes every day.

Hike up Excelsior Pass
The hike up Excelsior Pass was spectacular today. Wildflowers are in full bloom. No real snow. Lots and lots of little black flies and some horse flies.
