Success! Hunting wild pigs at Lake Sonoma, Northern California
If at first you don't succeed, pay someone to help you succeed. Our first hunting trip was a mess. We didn't find any pigs. We didn't even know what to look for. We needed help.

5/12 done! My fifth quarter (start of second year) at UC Davis' Bay Area Working Professional MBA Program
I've been neglecting this latest school update for too long!
In December I finished the two classes I was taking in the Fall 2009 quarter, Marketing Strategies and Negotiation in Organizations. Both were excellent courses I recommend.

My first hunting expedition at Cow Mountain, Northern California
My friend Brad and I spent a few hours crawling around Cow Mountain hunting wild pigs. We were very unsuccessful, but it was an awesome experience.
Biking King Ridge Road in beautiful Sonoma County
Three weeks ago I missed riding in Levi Leipheimer's Gran Fondo because I had stupid class. I mean, I like class, especially Negotiations, but it sure does get in the way of having a life.
Sitch Family Thanksgiving in Ottawa
The Sitch clan returned to Ottawa for a long weekend Thanksgiving at home. Ben + Allison drove up from Toronto, Joe flew in from Calgary (H couldn't attend, bummer), and Sara and I flew in from SF. Ottawa's miserable summer broke for this one glorious weekend.
Amelia walks 60 miles in the San Francisco 3-day Breast Cancer Walk
After a grueling 3-day 60-mile walk, Sara's sister Amelia is convinced that their ancestors were nomadic. No foot bandages, no shin splits, no tendonitis, Amelia powered through the walk without breaking a sweat. Okay, I made that last part up. She sweat a lot. Kinda stinky too.
Motorcycling in the Wienerwald
I had an unexpected free day during a business trip to Vienna, and rather than working (which I do enough on the weekends), I rented a motorcycle and explored the Wienerwald, the "Vienna Woods" at the top end of the Alps.
It's a lovely rural area with all of the beautiful mountain scenery you would expect from Austria. Rolling green hills, soaring rocky peaks, stone castles, tiny towns, and small narrow twisty roads. Perfect! With road elevations below 3000ft and unseasonably warm weather, I didn't have to worry about snow.
