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!

Students Abroad and Egypt
Uploaded: Jan 30, 2011
I spoke on Skype with my daughter last night. She is doing a college semester in China.
She is finding that there is not a UPS Store as she goes through her experience. Shipping stuff and traveling around the country is not like the States. I think it's great that she is learning how things work or do not work elsewhere as part of her college experience.
She is a student at Middlebury College, which has numerous foreign language programs for its students around the world, including Egypt.
The College is trying to get their students out of Egypt, and in the meantime, the students are confined to their hotel.
This real world stuff, not along the lines of this rarefied environment we have in this part of the world.
