Wow… almost here.

Intel employees qualify for a sabbatical after every seven years of employment. I hit my seven year anniversary at Intel this year… can’t believe its been that long.

I’m off from 27-Sept. to 03-Dec… and leaving for the beautiful Oregon Coast next Friday w/ the family. We’ve rented a wonderful old home in Manzanita Oregon that sleeps 10 (in fact used to be an Inn and B&B), so various friends and family are coming to stay… 2 days here and 1 night there. Its a regular boarding house on the Coast.

My goals for sabbatical:

• Family - spend copious amounts of time w/ Shannon, Holland and Truman
• Fitness - hire and train w/ a personal trainer
• Cooking - hone my culinary skills around sauces and the chemistry of food
• Read - get to all those books piled on the side of my bed

I’ll update on the progress…

So many exciting things going on at work, with family and other projects that I can’t talk about now… but will soon. Proposed a new MIT research project as well. More on all of this later.
