About this blog: I was a "corporate brat" growing up and lived in different parts of the country, ending in Houston, Texas for high school. After attending college at UC Davis, and getting an MBA at Harvard, I embarked on a marketing career, mainly in the Bay Area with different companies. My former wife went back to medical school after we had been married a few years, and we moved into married student housing at Stanford, had our two now adult children while she was a medical student, and moved into Palo Alto when she started her Residency. Been here ever since. As my kids were going through the Palo Alto schools, I was actively involved in their activities, most notably head umpire for Palo Alto Little League and 9 years as a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, among other activities. My kids both are grown, my son teaches 5th grade locally, and my daughter, fluent in Mandarin, is working in China. I sold the business I owned and ran for 8 years in 2012, worked on the Obama campaign, and am consulting for non-profit organizations, which gives me a nice, flexible schedule. Lots of stamps in my passport, and for fun, I like live performances &emdash; theater and music - and of course the Giants!

Incredibly Flawed Senate and Governor Candidates
Uploaded: Sep 30, 2010
I am increasingly disgusted with the character of candidates for State office in California, to whit:
I really have no clue what Senator Barbara Boxer has to show for all her time in Washington, DC.
Jerry Brown was a complete flake as California Governor some 30+ years ago. And he is bragging about it now that he is running again for the same office. What BS.
Meg Whitman is very smart, has been branding herself and talking about her "plan" as if it was like running a brand. Meg has said little or nothing about her "plan" and how it works with a State Assembly and State Senate.
And then today this immigration question came up about a nanny that worked in her household for a number of years. I pass no judgment at this point about the claims of Meg or Meg's nanny, but there clearly are suspicions' that Meg looked the other way for 9 years, in a manner inconsistent with what she has pronounced about immigration policy.
Carly Fiorinia "could not help but think" that Senator Boxer was beholden to certain interest groups. When last night's debate moderator asked Carly to name Barbara's interest groups, she was vague, and specified no entities. Twice. Her campaign was asked the same question today, and could not provide specifics.
The Lt. Gov. candidates both seem OK, but they don't do anything.
What is democracy worth to you?
