What are you up for? I dig the Old City Hall at the corner of 6th and Monterey. If you want sushi, Sushi Omakase is where I go (in the Target shopping center off 10th).

Hit up the San Diego Wild Animal Park today. Was a blast, had a great time and great company.

Also, Pasadena, I am in you. (And not for #scale23x, that's not for a few months yet.). #WinterRoadTrip

Current status: SoCal road trip. So here's the obligatory "Bakersfield, I am in you." post. (Technically Lebec, but let's not be fussy about it.)

Currently suffering from a bad earworm. Heard Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" before I went to sleep last night and I can't get it out of my head.

OH: At the video poker bar: "I got a 6 and a 9. What should I do with that? Heh heh heh…"

Response OH: "Just hold that in your heart."

Reno, I am in you. Again.

Also, 5 days in Vegas last week and 3 days in Reno this week is a LOT of Nevada. Hope my liver survives.

At the Vegas airport prepping to return home. Had a great time but right now I can feel the gravity of my couch pulling me from here.

Watching Corey Quinn's Heresy in the Church of Docker video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB6MvSEaMKI ) with my son. He's laughing, and I'm wondering if I'm looking at a next generation SRE / DevOps dude here.
