El Rancho



El Rancho used to be right across the street from Startups.com but have since closed. I guess they were the only one's who thought they had the best food on the planet. Actually it wasn't too bad, and many of us were regulars there.

Jumping In The Bushes

One sunny afternoon in Redwood City, V, Ted and I were outside taking a break from the seemingly never ending coding mayhem that was occurring with the Startups.com Tech Team. We were surely venting about the days events when I had an idea. It was just a thought but then I decided to take action. Change the mood a little bit. Get some laughs. You know how it is...

So as we were standing there I stepped back a few feet, started to run and when I got to full speed I lunged into the nearby bushes. I landed right in the middle of one of those spiny bushes with the little blue berries. It kicked up a lot of dust as well.

V and Ted looked at me like I was nuts and we all started laughing. It was unforgettable.

Even though the spines of that bush made my skin itch like crazy that day it was a worthy stunt.
