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!

Local Impacts of a Government Shutown
Uploaded: Apr 7, 2011
I will start with the personal, and take it from there.
My soon to be ex-wife is an MD at the VA Medical Center. She is expected to show up for work, as a "critical employee," but she has no idea whether she will get a regular paycheck during that time.
How many of us know people around here in that same situation?
USGS: another earthquake in Japan today. Is it governmont waste worth shutting operations to stop this agency from addressing this issue?
SLAC: what gets disrupted, potentially ruined, due to this Ton Phoolery?
I am of the the belief that Congress and the White House need to address the country's fininacial sitiuaation.
President Obama had a task force which did a great job. The Prez blinked.
We now have a proposal from Congressman Paul Ryan, which is a bad starting place, but is a starting place for future budgets.
But to be in this current confrataion about the current fiscal year is absurd
Democracy.
What is it worth to you?
