I’ve been experiencing some troubles with my blog.
Broken SQL
The mySQL database that backs all of this got corrupt. Of course the backup wasn’t working right and I lot a lot of content, passwords, etc. So if you try to log in and need to reset your password, that’s why. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mike Harvey Honda called me to say they could offer me a good price for my Scion. Even with asking if they were going to offer me trade-in pricing and they said no, they got me down there to offer me basically auction price.
The manager was insulting, telling me about the economy and how credit is hard. No apology for his staff lying to me and wasting my time.
We joined some of Nikki’s old friend at San Jose State for a Football game.

Starting with another 3 mile run along the coast, packing up our things before heading for Brunch at The Cliffs Resort in Pismo Beach. Then on the way home we stopped in Salinas to see the Steinbeck museum. To finish the day, and the final round of Nikki’s birthday celebrations with dinner at her parents house.
Brunch @ The Cliffs in Pismo Beach
Is this really November? I sat on the beach in 90F heat, ran on shorts and shirt at 8 am and was too hot and went to dinner without theneed for a jacket or umbrella. All this, only 180 miles from home, you could not have got better weather in Hawaii. I’m beginning to understand why some Americans never leave their state.
Breakfast, 3 mile run while Nikki had a massage, relaxing on the beach followed by happy hour and finally dinner at the Madonna Inn

I have recently got into the Alpha test of Boxee. This is the amazing new Media Center interface for the Mac. However, the most amazing thing that there’s also a version that runs on AppleTV.
Hulu on Boxee
This was just an amazing movie. Craig is a true bond, his intense acting and energy is perfect for the role
Quantum Of Solace
I had to buy it, Budweiser American Ale.

Even though her birthday isn’t until Tuesday Nikki had a dinner at Mario’s with her friends.
Hi Nikki
Tara’s husband Darrell is coach for a high school football team in Fremont, so we went along to give him support. Unfortunately, we’re not very good mascots and his team lost.
