Thoughts & Tips For March 2020

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON?

I did do a Sprint Triathlon hosted by the UCSD Triton Triathlon Team on Feb. 16, 2020.   It was tough but good fun:

Feb. 16 was also my son Conrad's 21st birthday.  We had a good time celebrating:

I've also enjoyed a few great IPA-ish beers this month. Here are some recommendations:

Thanks to one more day in February (aka the 29th), I was able to get our 2019 taxes done, and see one of our favorite 80s cover band -- Resurrection Radio at the awesome Helix Brewing Co. in La Mesa, CA. This is a setlist from a previous show.

TECHNOLOGY AND TIPS

One of my favorite authors -- Mark Greaney -- was in town on Feb. 18th promoting his new book "One Minute Out" (this is book #9 of the Gray Man series) at Warwick's in La Jolla.  It is highly recommended this new book and the overall series in general. Here is a picture from that evening:

Last month I mentioned that my new HP PC only has USB 3.0 ports on the front of the computer.  I ended up getting this 4-port HUB so I could move more of the high-speed connections back behind the computer.  So far it is working out pretty well.

FUTURE STUFF THAT I AM EXCITED ABOUT

• I have scheduled David Allen Getting Things Done (GTD) classes for work (via VitalSmarts) for March, April, and May.  I might also teach a class in the DC area in April for a program office.
• Christy and I are going to see Jersey Boys star John Lloyd Young in a couple of weeks.
• We are planning a weekend camping trip to Joshua Tree at the end of the month.
