Hello everyone!

My wife is going to Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris this spring. She'll be writing about her new adventure on her new blog, Tomato Sorbet.

We've been keeping a blog of our day-to-day adventures.

We also made a blog for our bicycle trip across the United States. If you're interested, here is the route we took, collected by the GPS on my handlebars.

To prepare for the cross-country trip, we cycled down Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway with Black Bear Adventures. It was a great trip!

I've been spending most of my free time biking lately. Here are some snapshots from the rides I've done recently: Mount Hamilton in the snow Tahoe Century 2002 Googlers in Pescadero 2002 Death Ride Mount Tam ride Races 2004 Death Ride Current project: bay area climbs

Rubik's Cubes® are back! I put up a small page of links to info on Rubik's Cubes and related puzzles.

I play in the Augmented Fourth Brass Quintet. Next time you need a brass quintet in the SF bay area, now you know where to look.
