I recommend it.

This post was written on January 30th, 2012 at 1:42 pmThis last weekend I turned 24 and it was a complete blast. Felt really lucky to have the friends and family I do — incredibly humbling.
After crashing hard very early Friday after a long week of work, I woke up early to go on a ~22 mile bike ride with the room mates. We’re all starting to get in pretty good shape bike-wise so the rides, while long and hilly, are a lot of fun.
After the bike ride, I organized a BBQ for a whole bunch of my friends during the afternoon at our house. I have a bunch of different groups of friends: Work buddies, Office Building Buddies, Room mates, high school friends — I really just wanted everyone to come together and meet/greet/hang-out. It was wonderful. The vast amount of chips, beer, burgers and brats purchased from Costco were gone by day’s end.
After the day settled down and it started turning into evening, a bunch of us went to the ever-happening downtown Palo Alto. For better or worse, everyone proceeded to buy me drinks so that was nice. After hanging out at NOLA’s we proceeded to go “The Patio” which is a dance-esque place. So we danced our collective hearts out to Ke$ha and the likes. Jackie was super awesome and gave me a ride home which was thoroughly appreciated.
I woke up very early this morning — the actual day of my birthday to head up to San Francisco with the fellow-GoPollGoers to talk about traversing binary trees and planning how to scale our infrastructure. After having a pretty delightful lunch and working a bit more I grabbed the next south-bound Caltrain to Sunnyvale to have dinner with the parents.
I mentioned that dinner of home-made pizza would be awesome. So the parents and I made a wonderful dinner of whole-wheat pizza dough / caramelized onions / pine-nuts / sun-dried-tomatoes / goat cheese complete with a spinach salad. Finished off the evening with good conversation and cheese cake.
Life is really quite nice. Thanks to everyone for being part of such a wonderful weekend.
