About Me
- Name: Ben
- Location: Healdsburg, California, United States
i live with my wife kim, our daughter hannah, our pug, and two cats in our new house in healdsburg. wine country living is great ... especially since i quit drinking beer and can really drink in the scenery. we both work from home. kimmy's a recruiter, and i do consulting for web and email marketing projects. the commute is great, the office romance is hot, and the animals make every work day entertaining. i grew up in petaluma, the butter and egg capital of the world (or at least it was). i went to grinnell college in iowa, where i majored in chinese. i met kimmy right before going off to thailand for a couple of weeks ... came back, we both got laid off, so we moved to south florida. we got married in may, 2003 at landmark vineyard in kenwood. finally, in 2004, we moved back to CA. it only took us a month or so to find a house ... in healdsburg much to our surprise ... and with the help of my third grade teacher turned realtor, actually got it and moved in in august. it's been smooth sailing since then. we've done a lot of work on the house, met some folks here in town, and now we have an actual family unit. good times.

How about this for book of the day: The Future Dictionary of America, edited by Dave Eggers + others... Amazon.com summary...
This book was conceived by Jonathan Safran Foer, Dave Eggers, Nicole Krauss, and the staff of McSweeney's as a way to bring over a hundred authors together to promote progressive causes in the November 2004 election. An imagining of what a dictionary might look like about thirty years hence, when the world's problems are solved and our current president is a distant memory, the book is by turns funny, outraged, utopian, and dyspeptic. 100 percent of the proceeds will go to a mix of political organizations to support progressive candidates in the upcoming elections. Over 150 writers contributed to the book, including: Stephen King, Robert Olen Butler, Glen David Gold, Richard Powers, Susan Straight, Sarah Vowell, Billy Collins, C.K. Williams, Colson Whitehead, Donald Antrim, Jonathan Franzen, Edwidge Danticat, Edward Hirsch, Joyce Carol Oates, Katha Pollitt, Padgett Powell, Paul Auster, Anthony Swofford, Julia Alvarez, Susan Choi, Jim Shepard, Aimee Bender, and Art Spiegelman. Released in partnership with Barsuk Records, the book will include a CD compilation, with exclusive songs by the best musicians working. Among them: David Byrne, R.E.M., Death Cab for Cutie, Sleater-Kinney, Flaming Lips, Tom Waits, Bright Eyes, They Might Be Giants, Nada Surf, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
The plane is beautiful...is it yours????
yep, this be my wings. it's my second plane ... the first was an electric cessna.
Is that a tattoo?
I assume that while this is soon to be the most popular place on the internet, for now it's probably more confidential than an email:
It's kind of funny to think of you playing golf and flying air planes. Such adult things for someone who until just recently was frozen (to me) in highschool.
So anyway, is that a tattoo?
yeah, i got inked up in the pen.
