And after a 12+, actually 14, hour day…. Too tired to write. What stood out and spoke to me from day… Lunch spot in SF, 2nd time there. Traffic out of SF to OAK. Building in downtown Oakland, the c… | Continue reading
This hour is harsh, but I’m more or less used to it by now. Tried turning on some music but Spotify acts strange just when I don’t need it to. Event tonight in Oakland, will just make an appearan… | Continue reading
But don’t know where to find the link. So… may not happen. Sitting down after working and standing for close to an hour, now tired. Another 10oz cup made. May have lunch in a bit. No o… | Continue reading
…….. Everything is something that teaches. Everything around you can be seen as a positive chord. Everything is music, meant to contribute to your beat. Too often we just give in to nay… | Continue reading
… Then what do you call it? My wine story, speaking loudly this morning and in a way I can’t dismiss or just put to the side for sake of work. Know I need to, I’m trying… Short stories … | Continue reading
Halfway through the month… already? 7:43 have been here about 10 minutes I think. Might be the earliest I’ve landed at the office, and in SF since this new story started. Aim for today is to … | Continue reading
More than merely motivated. Fiery, eager, assured of my presence. Knowing this Road is the correct one. Hate that word, correct. I’m present, closer to my little vineyard an… | Continue reading
interfering with my pursuits. It’s my story and I decide all Roads… Thankful bank. | Continue reading
After lunch with little Emma and soon after Jack, more level and more of a character Composition useful. Acknowledging, what I’m now practicing. More than some trie mention of awa… | Continue reading
Some days test you. And test you more. You learn. | Continue reading
Emma and Henry enjoying cereal behind me at table. Me, not feeling much like a parent, like I missed something, some course or….. Ridiculous. Again, humor. It’s my day off a… | Continue reading
Not much sleep last night with Henry getting sick twice and both in my bed which was entertaining. Sheets washed and comforter now washing. We slept downstairs, he on couch and me in D… | Continue reading
Then visiting my Mom and Dad at the kids’ request to see my sister’s dog. Grocery shopping at Safeway and surprisingly coming in under budget by a few bucks. And I was surprised ‘cause there was … | Continue reading
Back from ‘bucks. Took Henry and Emma, Jackie staying and playing his game. Tell them the agenda for day, and get approval. Guess Emma changed her mind post-Daddy breakfast. I’m g… | Continue reading
Dry cereal for breakfast, completely uncommon. Sounded nice. Not sure why. Henry hungry, demanding waffles, then another, and while the third one cooks insists on a graham cracker. Just as he’s… | Continue reading
and no day off for me, which I still find strange working for a prop tech/security company based in DC. ANYWHO…. Home and thinking of dinner options. Have stuff here in house, told them Daddy Doo… | Continue reading
Kids ready for the most part, meeting over. Cold down here in the office. One more cup. Getting into the Field later.. Haven’t run since my last pathetic 3.25 or whatever it… | Continue reading
My parents pick them up later. 2:45 call with SE to work up quote for the 818 Van Ness prospect. Not in the mood for this new story, not with the kids here. Not anything they’re doing, just what … | Continue reading
Jack asks for V-bucks, however spelled and written, I buy. Why not. Want him to enjoy his time here, and his life. Seeing him smile is the ALL… my little poet, my Kerouac. My litt… | Continue reading
Not sure if I have work tomorrow, Veteran’s Day. Maybe I do, but I don’t think so given the company is based in DC basically and provides security for government entities and building I think. Any… | Continue reading

Yes, of course, one Mike says then the other is more along the go of, “Just take notes, write it later, when you get home.” But I know I won’t, I’d say to this latter thought-shape. Enjoying the co… | Continue reading
More laundry on. Nearing 9:30. Three hours. Interesting having me come in at 12:30. In no mood to go down there, be around all those people, the crowd, that uncomfortable ro… | Continue reading
Jury Duty. Finally got around to doing all the receipts piled on desk. First thing I did. Don’t have to be at courthouse or that admin building in Santa Rosa till 12:30. Dreading it like you wo… | Continue reading
….. Bought two new journals at the Walgreens on Front Street I think. Two fancier ones with leather on outside. One for me, the other for Kastle. First real site visit today… | Continue reading
Not sales. At all. Loving conversations, people, being a friend and resource, not a robotic rep. Sales is also selling yourself. That your goals need to be of more altitude. And that they are emine… | Continue reading
back and forth when it comes to sales. The actual word. Why do we have to say it over and over? Fixate on it, like it’s some all-solving monosyllabic song, or incantation that takes you to some car… | Continue reading
Conversation with Stanley, my SE. Weird having someone other than Ditter or William as my SE, but…. Here I am in the new story, he giving me some counsel on certain things and prospecting app… | Continue reading
locking me out for some reason, then the laptop camera not working on a Teams call. The day is interesting and testing my patience a bit. Breathing… will have list of 50 prospects done by EOD tomo… | Continue reading
storm in comparison to any perceived storm in the past few years… Somewhat of a white knuckle nerve-racking drive but even still it was relaxing listening to the music. I thought about going straig… | Continue reading
Not only embracing the fact that I’m new to real estate, multifamily, and prop tech, but celebrating it. Using it to start conversations… seeking education and shared experience. Like m… | Continue reading
….. Been in office for about ten or fifteen minutes. Settling in. Aims are simple, getting in character. Sipping rest of latte. Conversations…. Start more. Coupl… | Continue reading
11/7 Been up since before five. Had some coffee, after getting dressed, and I’m now down here in the office about ready to head to San Francisco. Some thing about me has changed, with this new sale… | Continue reading
Back in the poz loft office. No need for dinner after the sliders. Tonight thinking bed early. Listening to the Eric Hilton list again. Been a go-to of late. Not sure … | Continue reading
Food not here yet. Nearly done with glass, will order another. Not in the mood for pinot or anything red. Thought about it, but….. Wine is my beat. That … | Continue reading
Just wanted to write out the whole date for once. Day any everything. In office, kids picked up, first latte from Café Noto in a while. Some aims for day, but no harsh self-emphasis and pointing… | Continue reading
Getting close to bedtime. All three of the kids here, FINALLY. Henry sick last weekend, and then me with covid weekend before. Or was it the weekend before…. Losing track of time … | Continue reading
Again getting a shot of that gratitude. With the coffee, working at the counter here. Love my office but needed a change of consistent visuals and actual chair. The other day work… | Continue reading
seeing a metal pipe (I don’t what you’d call it, the winemaker/-ing term for…) in barrel, filling. Racking as they say. Back from lunch with an AE at the last company. Things over there stil… | Continue reading
