News and Notes--Orientation, Work, and the Big Lebowski

Helen's business school orientation week is drawing to a close, and classes begin Monday. Hard to believe that we've already been in Berkeley 3.5 weeks. 

Last night Helen partied with her colleagues in San Francisco, while I stayed behind and watched "The Big Lebowski" on the big screen.  It was a packed house, and most people--unlike me--had seen this cult classic many times. Eerie fact: Early in the film Jeff Bridges ("The Dude") writes a check for 69 cents on September 11, 1991.

Today was the first day in my new position at UCSF, and it went very well.  My only complaint is the commute, but I suppose we all need something to complain about. I'm looking forward to this next chapter.
