What a wonderful birthday celebration it has been! Although I prefer to celebrate all month, things crescendo’ed last week. On birthday eve, a couple of guys came over to try out some new beers. Instead of beating our chests and male bonding, though, we found ourselves talking politics, economics, science, and entrepreneurship until we realizedContinue reading “Full of Birthday Love”

33rd Birthday Musings
Birthdays are always good times for reflection and this year I’m feeling particularly introspective. Perhaps it is because 33 is a number of great significance to one of my good friends or perhaps it is because my last multiple of 11 year was so impactful (graduating from college, meeting Katie) that this birthday feels .Continue reading “33rd Birthday Musings”
A Birthday Feast for the Ages
Last night capped off 36 hours of wonderful birthday celebration! Thursday evening my favorite wingman took me and a couple of other friends out to Experience Hendrix, a Jimi Hendrix tribute tour featuring several blues legend performers. It was a great show, covering the entire Hendrix canon. Some notable performers were Dweezil Zappa (son ofContinue reading “A Birthday Feast for the Ages”
Birthday Retrospective
Another year comes and goes and each is better than the last. I have a few white chest hairs now and probably some gray head hairs, although it’s hard to tell on my shaved head. I’m in the best shape of my life, though, and I’m spending my time and energy doing something I reallyContinue reading “Birthday Retrospective”

It was great to catch up with IMD folks on “my turf!” Friday I connected with Milena (IMDContinue reading “Beer Bike and Bryan Birthday Brunch”
Taiwan!
I passed my 30th year mark somewhere over China en route to Taiwan. Actually, our KLM flight stopped in Amsterdam and Bangkok before arriving in Taipei but, unfortunately, there was no time to get out and explore either of those locations. Our time it Taiwan was really excellent, albeit very rushed as we were onlyContinue reading “Taiwan!”
Happy 1/23/45!
To all of my readers who understand what I mean, happy 1/23/45! Although I spent most of the day working, I did manage to sneak outside for an hour to play catch with a former professional baseball player in sunny, 75-degree weather. I also had a nice dinner with my favorite dining companion (Happy birthdayContinue reading “Happy 1/23/45!”
Oh What a Day
Yesterday was one of those days that made all of us glad we chose a program in Lausanne. It was around 60 degrees F, sunny, and absolutely beautiful. The flowers were blooming, the birds were chirping, and it truly felt like spring. I went for a run along the lake but had to keep stoppingContinue reading “Oh What a Day”
