I looked out the window and saw snow capping the foothill mountain peak.
April snow in Southern Californi. Who would have thought.

it’s summer time in southern california and the days are hot. most of the people i know are going on extended breaks. i don’t blame them. i’d rather be in a beach somewhere with an umbrella drink in my hand instead of being in a stale room looking at a computer for eight hours.
one thing good about company conferences is you get to meet old friends. most of my old colleagues in asia-pacific are here with me this week. it's nice seeing them again – when i look at their faces, shake their hands and get up to speed on all the gossip, i am reminded of all the great things we left behind when we were still based on the other side of the big pond.
i've been stuck here in a hotel in southern california for almost a week now and i am beginning to feel really tired. i am attending a company conference and it has been one prestentation after another from 7:30 in the morning until 5:30 in the afternoon. death by powerpoint, they call it. to make up for all this, each of us got one iPod nano as a gift. not bad. i hope i can attend again next year. who knows, they might give everyone a laptop computer.
its been foggy and grey during the mornings since last saturday. i guess this is part of what the people here call the “may grey / june gloom” season. it’s that time of year when the weather gods start bringing in layers of vapor and mist from the pacific ocean. but only during the morning though. around lunch time, the sun appears and all of a sudden it’s spring time again.
