Award Night

Award nights with friends: a good show, surprises and lots of fun. Of course my ballot didn't win.
I had hoped that Babel made it best picture (you MUST see it, I loved it), while I wasn;t totally in love with the "Departed" which scored 4 Oscars incl. best picture and best director.
I am also happy that the Germans (rightfully) won an warad for best foreign language film with "The Lives of Others", a great, perhaps 30 mins too long movie about the spying of the East German police on its citizens. I watched it here in SF a week ago and it was great! Watch the trailer!

Race Season 2007 Started

The KP Half Marathon opened my personal 2007 racing season, with a personal record in the 1:46hr. range. A great course through GG park (along the Japanese tea house and De Young museum - picture) and a long stretch along the Great Hwy (all the way from Lincoln to the SF Zoo and back).
A breakfast with co-running friends in Sunset before hanging out at a Superbowl party.
Next races that I am scheduled for are
  • 10M Waterfront race on 3/4
  • Bay-to-Breakers on 5/20
  • SF Marathon (1st Half) on 7/29
See you there!?
