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!

New Mitchell Park Buildings Are A Misfit
Uploaded: Oct 10, 2013
I am sorry to say that these new buildings are a complete mis-fit with the neighborhood and the rest of Mitchell Park.
As a member of the Parks Commission, I had numerous presentations about the design, and got to tour the work in progress a couple of times.
I have no doubts that the experience for people in the new library and community center will be a significant improvement over what was there before.
After driving by the work in process and actually walking through it, I am of the opinion we got the right idea on the inside, without regard to the outside.
Community.
What is it worth to you?
