After three days, we’re finally getting over our jet-lag and the shock of leaving everything behind. Camille seemed to have the easiest time of both those. Christophe asked once to go home and the first night wouldn’t go back to his new bed after awaking around 5am. He ended up sleeping with […]

It’s now two days before we move to Zurich. Here is our new address:
Schäfligrabenstrasse 31

When you live in Canada, the easiest airline to fly when traveling between countries is Air Canada. I can say, however, that I will avoid these crooks in the future if at all possible. I can’t believe their arrogance. Here’s what happened…
I’m flying home on Easter weekend from California to see my family in Ottawa […]
I’m back at Google now and starting the long stretch of work here before I move to Zurich. I’m almost glad to be back. The only real downside is that I’ll be here 8 weeks and only seeing my wife and kids for brief periods during that time.
I must say, though, the weather […]

Mom, Dad, and baby girl are all doing just fine, though big brother Christophe seems a little unsure. Tonight will be his first night with […]

I took a tour of Palo Alto to see some of the local sights. Unfortunately, the Pulgas Water Temple was unreachable because of a closed road, but it did detour me to Filoli. If you don’t recognize it from the photographs, this is the house that was used as the setting for the […]
As long as I’m in the area, I might as well photograph what is probably the most photographed bridge in the entire world.
I drove up to San Francisco on Saturday, but it wasn’t a very good trip. The weather was bad (too bad to be “good”) to the point where I didn’t even […]
Have I mentioned how good Google is to work for? The sent pretty much the entire company on a 2-day skip trip to Lake Tahoe this week. That’s right… During the week, on their time! They also had a great party that night with a fantastic band and, of course, great […]
Adjacent to Sequoia National Park is King’s Canyon National Park. I spent the second day of the weekend there. Unfortunately, most of it is closed during the winter months even when there is very little snow. I don’t have much to show for it other than this one panorama. It’s actually […]
