Here’s the thing

I can’t believe that it’s been so long since I wrote an entry here

Of course I have had those moments where I thought, I should journal more. It’s such a great outlet and I find that I actually answer my own question about stuff when I get it down on paper, so to speak

So … here I am … 

Lots have happened in my life since the last time I tripped across this web page

Still live in the same town, same house.  Different pets, Jack is the only pet that is left from the original four.  We’ve added a crazy Jackapoo puppy named Sugar, a completely nuts 30lb cat named Mojo and a shy, sweet rescue named Mocha.  So me, Mar, and 4 animals in our tiny little cottage.  It’s fun but can be a bit much sometimes

Mar works at FB now, she still gets all excited when she sees Zuck, although she has commented once, really Mark?  Hoodies?  Every day?

I still work at Stanford, came back in 2008, for School of Medicine, and moved over to Electrical Engineering a year ago this month.  I have my own office, can pretty much come and go as I please.  It’s a good gig to be sure

Had the big H surgery last year. Was probably the best thing that I ever did.  Still getting used to being relatively hormone free and not so reactionary all the time

My Buddhism practice is as strong as it ever was, loving my meditation and spiritual growth

Having surgery on my left knee in a week or so, I figured out that I was working out so much, chasing after something that I should have been looking for on the inside all along…which is why I thought to write again.  It’s funny (sad more like it) that I still struggle with the same self love/self confidence issues that I did when I started this diary in 2003

Here’s to hoping I figure something out this time around
