JUNE. Just five more days for me in the West Coast. 8:21 AM Jun 1st via Twitter for Mac
Nothing like a nice 2-hour walk along the Bay. 5:38 PM May 30th via Twitter for Mac
I've been summoned for jury duty in San Mateo County Superior Court on July 11. Funny, I think I'll be back in DC then. 3:17 PM May 29th via Twitter for Mac
The Boardwalk was awesome. Plus driving Highway 1 was also pretty swell. (Now I'm just crossing my fingers that I didn't get sunburned.) 7:16 PM May 28th via Twitter for Mac
@feldmaniac Then I stand corrected. 12:20 AM May 28th via Twitter for Mac in reply to feldmaniac
@feldmaniac "Mass tweet." Sort of like retweet, but with an indication that the retweeter wants others to keep the retweeting going. 7:32 PM May 27th via Twitter for Mac in reply to feldmaniac
Been a non-eventful vacation so far; all that changes tomorrow! Going with family to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for the first time! 7:31 PM May 27th via Twitter for Mac
@feldmaniac Funny, for me it's the exact opposite. 10:36 PM May 23rd via Twitter for Mac in reply to feldmaniac
Internet connection troubleshooting. At home, some things never change. 6:32 PM May 22nd via Twitter for Mac
Summer continues along fairly uneventfully. Still weird to think that I'm heading back to DC in two and a half weeks. 9:08 AM May 20th via Twitter for Mac
Yeah, that's smart. Let's "reduce the deficit" with a bunch of defense expenditures that the military itself opposes. smdailyjournal.com/article_previe… 6:00 PM May 18th via Twitter for Mac
After 3.5 years, finally got a new cell phone! (This one will finally make it possible for me to stop discouraging people from texting me.) 1:03 PM May 18th via Twitter for Mac
Few things in this world are more annoying to listen to than the neighbor's trucks (outside your bedroom window) idling for half an hour. 7:44 AM May 18th via Twitter for Mac
DC needs to abort Congress. Congress is not "viable," and it endangers the health of the rights of DC residents. nbcwashington.com/blogs/first-re… 8:38 PM May 17th via Twitter for Mac
@EleanorNorton Do you think it's a coincidence that they're pushing this anti-Women's Health bill now that college students have left DC? 2:12 PM May 17th via Twitter for Mac in reply to EleanorNorton
@AmericanU @higheredwonk The "strategy" behind the WONK campaign was completely ignoring students' concerns and running with it anyway. 12:56 PM May 16th via Twitter for Mac in reply to AmericanU
FINALLY finally getting videos from last February's Concerto Competition edited. 6:09 PM May 15th via Twitter for Mac
Why is it that I keep having customer service agents hang up on me after they put me on hold? IT'S REALLY ANNOYING! @SMCU 11:32 AM May 15th via Twitter for Mac
Help! I'm being held captive by a selectively-failing internet connection! 3:46 PM May 14th via Twitter for Mac
Back in the Bay Area. 10:44 PM May 12th via Twitter for Mac
