    I work from home quite a bit and take transit when my schedule allows, but I admit to regularly doubling my commute length in miles when I’m required to come into the office. I do this to avoid the ugly strip-mall nowhereness that developed when people cared more about convenience than place.

    Saturday Recap

    Three young children are playing soccer on a grassy field, with more people in the background. My son is out front.

    Today was my son’s last day of kindergarten soccer for the spring season. The weather matched the mood. Cloudy, a little rainy, and just gray enough to make the end of the season feel like a quiet exhale. The kids on his team, much like the parents, seemed more relieved than anything. While they’ve all improved a lot over the past couple of months, it’s clear they’re one of the less physically developed teams. I don’t mean that as a criticism. It’s kindergarten soccer. But some kids are just more physically aware or focused at this age, and it shows.

    This was my son’s second season, and for …

    Adios, San Jose

    Wrapping up my SJ/SF leg of the trip.

    I have been determined to not rent a car and mostly took trains and buses everywhere. I took light rail in San Jose, Caltrain to Palo Alto and San Francisco, Muni and BART in SF, and the 17 bus to Santa Cruz. Now riding Amtrak to Sacramento. Everything has been really efficient and comfortable.

    I walked close to 50 miles over the last week to burn off all the Mexican food.

    A few people are sitting with luggage in a sunlit, historic train station waiting area featuring large benches, a clock, and ornate architectural details.A train is stopped at the San Jose station platform with a few passengers waiting nearby.Sunlight streams through a large arched window in a train station, casting a warm glow into a dimly lit room.

    I’ve had a lot of fun traveling around without a car. Still, the most annoying thing has been dealing with other people listening to something on their phones without headphones. Everywhere I go, calls on speakerphone, loud music, YouTube videos on trains, in lobbies, at stations. So annoying.

    Since picking up that cheap Canadian folk guitar last week, I have been seriously considering selling my Martin 000-28.

    What do you want to be when you grow up?

    On the drive to school this morning, the kids were being unusually quiet, so I asked my 4-year-old son if he’d thought anymore about what he wanted to be when he grows up.

    He’s been really interested in Spider-Man lately, so I was expecting to hear the usual stuff like ‘super hero’ or ‘fireman’. But he flipped the script and said he wanted to cut tumors out of people. That caught me off guard and tugged at my heart strings a little.

    I know the exact moment I knew I wanted to marry her. It was our first trip to the coast together, on my birthday a couple of years ago. It was this day, not long after this photo was taken, when She was sitting next to me eating clam chowder in a rundown restaurant overlooking the Pacific and the sun was shining through the windows on her face. I didn’t know then what would happen, I just hoped things would stay as good as they were. Not every day can be a sunny February birthday at the coast, but on the whole, it just gets better all the time. 1 week.
