As if there could be an end to wanderlust? My girlfriend Sherry is embarking on an open art project with two other friends. Fueled by their love of travel and the desire to document and share a journey about people and the ties that hold us together, they will be taking a cross country road trip from Miami, Florida to Los Angeles, CA to tell a story. The project involves accomplishing several tasks which you can read about by following their blog. I hope it brings you inspiration to be spontaneous and to give love openly. And yes, I know I sound like a total hippie. I live in Berkeley. You get it.

Better Late Than Not
My generally up-to-date blogs have been running on empty the last two months. Which is an unusual state to be in given the past five years of regular posts. But when big changes arise, it’s always good to hit the pause button and reflect. And well, given the state of things, I didn’t have a choice but to sit in the sidelines and ponder “what next”.
Ah, life. Sometimes you can suck.
Inspired by @daisysf’s long overdue post last week, I decided a little update would be a nice way to kick-off the start of winter. Hello, cold November rain! Here's a brief rundown of the last few weeks, in case you don't follow my glorious status updates. After the acquisition, I spent a few weeks fretting about interviews and big career moves. Mother drove me bonkers with her usual questions about my love life or lack thereof. As if a husband and career come hand in hand? It became so bad that we just stopped talking for a good month. But things finally fell into place after I landed a job at Salesforce.com. No husband yet though. That would be tragic…or just really funny.
In celebration of this new chapter of life, I flew myself out to NYC for mini-expensive vacation. Spent a week hanging out friends, eating great food, visiting museums and relaxing. Though relaxing ended up being a lot of late nights drinking. Love NYC but probably could have done without the extra nights out.
Since I’ve been back, it’s been madness. Halloween was a blur and despite not wanting to dress up, I dressed up and did the whole party thing. On top of that, there have been baby showers, birthdays and the start of the new job. It’s been so busy that I *just* unpacked from the trip and hit the gym for the first time in two weeks last night.
Hurrah, it feels good to be back into my usual routine. Now for a trip home to visit mother...

Ippudo Ramen
Is the two hour wait on weekend nights worth it for the ramen? No, but the thirty minute wait on Sunday afternoon definitely was! Such a lively spot with communal tables and yummy sake options. The Akamura ramen with the miso ball was amazing. @nickjordan ordered the special ramen with smoked oyster sauce and monk liver. Sounded kind of gross but @annieluc said all special ramens must be tried. Thank goodness we listened because that soup base was amazing. I also ordered the pork buns that folks were raving about but found them to be just okay. Can't wait to come here again on my next trip to NYC!
