Today's Training was brought to you by...

The donations of my colleagues Tim Mensch and John Welch, to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Thank you John and Tim!

I took a bunch of pictures today on my walk back to the SF Caltrain station from our office.
Today's hikes were all on the street.
About 13,000 steps today, thanks to the trusty pedometer.

I need to remember to really enjoy being every day in San Francisco. I always loved San Francisco from afar when growing up in North Dakota, and it still seems kind of unreal that I get to walk around in SF like this.

We begin at the PlayFirst office in downtown SF. The first picture is the view from my desk.

Then a little further down Embarcadero, is this globe statue:

There's no sign on it except for a sign telling people not to touch it.


There are 35 Tall Ships docked nearby for the Festival of Sail.
Here's one of them I saw as I walked past. Ironically, it does not have its sails out since it's docked for the night.




I also took several pictures of the clocks that I watch as I walk to catch the train. I realized when looking at them all together that they're not half as interesting to others as they are to me.
But here's the list:
* clock #1 at pac bell park (about 6:10)
* clock #2 at pac bell park (about 6:15)
* clock #3 at SF Caltrain station (about 6:24 or so)
* clock #4 at San Mateo Caltrain station - a little before 7
And then this picture of downtown San Mateo - this is the pedestrian Main Street that leads to the movie theater, Bacio Cafe, and the cool sign for the San Mateo Safe Center on the right. There's also a fun little Hong Kong dessert place coming up on the right too.
