Yesterday I had a great Thanksgiving dinner at my brother in-law’s parents house in Fremont. The food was delicious as usual and it was an all-around good time. I spent most of Thanksgiving day reading while my sister and her husband were packing up. They are moving to Monterey so I won’t be visiting Fremont…

Cali Coast
View of Lover’s Point, Pacific Grove, CA (Photo by Jim Finney) I just got back from an awesome weekend at my sister’s new residence in Monterey, CA.

Monterey
Friday, I completed my last callback interview and it was fun to talk and have a nice lunch. Now it’s just a waiting game for the offers. After the interviewing, I went to Arrillaga gym to unwind. I had a good workout working mainly shoulders. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was broken or not working properly…
Tamar Photos
Nothing really interesting went down today aside from laziness, reading, a workout at Arrillaga, and more laziness. The workout at Arrillaga was actually good, working mainly shoulders. I somehow didn’t run today even though I had all day to do it, but I definitely plan on running tomorrow. Well, I guess it’s time to do…

More Tamar photos!

Top story: My sister is at the birthing center and we are expecting her to give birth either late tonight or tomorrow morning. She is ten days overdue so it’s about time! We pray for a smooth and uncomplicated birth. Otherwise, I went to the gym this afternoon and worked mainly shoulders. Most of the…
