So... It is time to log things I should have entered into the log a long time ago.

First, the trip to San Francisco. The RSA conference was good if a bit slower this year. I had a better idea about how to get into the best sessions this year so I got to see a lot more. I missed seeing Bruce this year due to a scheduling conflict.

I got to meet my very talented counterpart in Arxan's SF office, Mr Bill Cox. I was also introduced to Sara's west coast relatives, and reintroduced to her grade school friend, Evelyn, who is doing her PhD work in something terribly biological at UCSF.

We were lucky enough to get to stay at the beautiful and historic Westin Saint Francis for 150 USD/day because Sara is a Priceline ninja. The trip also included a visit to golden gate park where we saw the Tea Garden and the de Young Museum

Food highlights included Cafe de la Presse for lunch, dinner with Evelyn at Absinthe, and pizza at Tommaso's. Of course the best meal of the entire trip was the Saint Valentine's Day dinner that Sara treated me to. We ate at Aqua. We each had three delicious courses. Sara chose the Ahi Tuna Tartare followed by the White Sturgeon en Papillotte and Pear Belle Helene for desert. I had Parmesan-Black Pepper Souffle with Sea Urchin and Dungeness Crab to start. This was followed by Maine Skate Wing with Truffle Mushroom Bouillon. For desert I had a Chocolate Tart with Orange Sauce. Needless to say I have the best girlfriend ever.

I also made time to visit Nappa on this trip. We took a bus tour so no one had to drive after drinking. It turned out OK, but it severely limited the number of wineries we were able to visit. Maybe next time we will get a group together and do a limo tour. We visited The Kirkland Ranch, Madonna Estate, and Viansa. The bus also made a morning stop for food at a visitor's center and an early afternoon stop for lunch in Sonoma proper.

I meant to log this weekends trip to Indianapolis as well, but this entry is already too long.
