Another day in Cali

Promised I would write more about things in my life and such.  So, since the last couple of posts have had more of a commentary spin, thought I was over due to get one of these out.

Got a email the other day asking me how I stay connected with the internet when I travel so much.  Thankfully to our friends at Starbucks, I am usually never far from a high speed internet access.  Sometimes I actually go in and get a “Venti Mocha.”  While at other times (late at night) I will just pull up close to the store and I can access the wi-fi from there.  Makes chatting with friends at night pretty easy too.  Luckily there are a lot of Starbucks out here.

One thing I am asked about a lot is what is like living in a truck.  Guess that depends more on when you ask me..lol.  Some days it is fine and it is just what I do.  Other times it drives me totally crazy.  Being a trainer doesn’t help too much since the space in here isn’t exactly posh.  Most people’s walk in closets are larger then the entire living space of a semi.  You learn to get creative with the space you have, or what you must have verses want to have.  For example I use to have a tv/dvd in the truck.  Since reception is never really good (unless you get satellite) I finally decided not to keep it in the truck.  The space was valuable and now it is somewhat a mini library.  Since I carry a laptop with me, I use it to watch DVD's.  Since I now have a ibook, I use it for music, movies, course email and internet.  In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I am a huge laptop fan.  Don’t know why anyone would want a tower.  Now here is my personal endorsement time; if you are looking for a new laptop or tower for that matter, get a APPLE.  Simply put, they kick PC ass.

Will be leaving this afternoon to run down to San Diego, CA., then return to Oakland, CA.  Will be returning to Seattle, WA., this weekend.  Not sure what I will be doing between the two.

Right now I am at a Carrows in Oakland, CA., getting breakfast and getting this done.  Will roll over to the Starbucks and get this posted.  Plus I am trying to get a book review done for here and maybe get it posted in thee next couple of days.  Since reading is a huge part of going to school I am going to try and do book reviews on this blog too.  Want to try and do one at least every two weeks.  Think that is a pretty good goal to work on.  Help me keep focused.
