...on two weeks of vacation. I can't believe my time away is over already! Back to life at Google tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for their patience as I essentially ignored my in-box for some much-needed time with family and friends.
Highlights from my time away:
* Family time -- I clocked a record number of hours with LB and Ari during the time I'd normally be at the
Googleplex; everything from attending Ari's gym glass to going to lunch in the middle of the day, to napping when he naps...
* Celebrating Ari's first birthday -- thanks to family members from destinations far-away and the bay area for dedicating last Sunday to Ari
* Making it to the gym with some sort of regularity
*
Hockey, hockey, hockey -- scored goals in back to back weeks; one victory, one loss
* Hiking
the dish with LB and Ari...and getting stuck in a rainstorm with 1.5 miles between us and the car!
* Taking in lots of March Madness, various movies, Sopranos and "
Curb" episodes and general TiVo clean-up
* Advising two friends on their respective start-up small businesses (one in real estate, one in personal training/nutrition)
* Witnessing a number of Ari's first (new) words -- "Google," "Shoes," "Blue Ball," "Dishes," "Bert" and the dreaded "NO!"
...and being grabbed by Ari and kissed goodnight on my cheek earlier tonight. I think he knows that tomorrow will be different.
