Dream Bike

Since I married an avid cyclist, I was pretty quick to invest in a proper road bike – mainly due to the fact his team got a killer team deal on Bianchis – but, alas, my heart still yearns for a big, comfy cruiser bike. You know, the kind you ride wearing a sun dress, with fresh vegetables and a lab puppy in the front basket…

Not that I want to add more bikes to the household, but I would one day like to have one of these Public bikes. I have always wanted a white bike, and the brown leather seat and brown basket are icing on the cake. After I had spent a bit of time day-dreaming about my new dream bike, I noticed they’re located just a few doors down, here in South Park! I wonder if they give neighborhood discounts?

Ready and Waiting

We have a few visitors coming to stay with us in April, and Eugene must have caught wind of this information because I found him just sitting on the guest bed this afternoon, waiting. And, he actually stayed in this exact position while I ran to get my phone to snap a photo! Visitors, be ready.

Did it Again!

This just in…”Benchmark Capital is placing a rather hefty bet on startup Scale Computing (a.k.a. Ehren & Co.) – they’ve led a $9 million round of financing and Partner Bill Gurley joins the company’s board of directors”… Read more at TechCrunch »

Benchmark Cap. has previously invested in Yelp, OpenTable, Twitter and Mint.com, just to name a few! So proud of my brother and his peeps. Way to go Scale!!!!

Some Light Shopping

Oh, phew…they have the 5/16 x 2-3/4 hex cap screws I’ve been looking for!

What ARE You Doing?

New experience for Dutch today…the bike trainer. I was cracking up because his head was very intently following James’ shoe/pedal around and around. He must have gotten dizzy after a while because he eventually gave up, realizing this moving shoe wasn’t going anywhere. If only we knew what our dogs were thinking!

I Don’t Tweet…I Cook!

Some of the window decals at Marlowe, our newest neighborhood eatery… funny, but maybe just a *tad* harsh considering Twitter and Facebook are both local businesses…and probably quite a few vegans around the ‘hood too. Gotta support your locals, Marlowe! We’ll still come check you out though…we’re not vegan, so I guess we’re allowed.

Nice to Meet You, AJ

We popped in to coo over little Ashwin Joseph this afternoon. He is just so tiny and precious, and came with a FULL head of hair! Mindy looked great, and said she was feeling generally pretty good (besides being extremely tired of course). She had a c-section, so we expected her to be feeling pretty rough, but she was able to get up and walk around on her own, and seemed to be handling it all like a champ! Gautam was super-dad, changing diapers and swaddling like a pro. We’re excited for them to come home and get settled in as a family. Dutch is no doubt looking forward to them coming home too! His favorite place is lying by our front door…probably hoping we’ll release him into the city streets so he can run his short corgi legs home as fast as possible.

Baby Ashwin is Here!

Ashwin Joseph Prabhu was born Feb 28, 2010 at 8:27pm! He is 6 lb, 7 oz and 20 inches long. Mindy and baby are both doing well.

Welcome to the world little baby Ashwin!! Dutch says “woof woof” which translates to “I love you.” (yes, I am fluent in Dog). We can’t wait to meet you little guy…precious little AP.

Waiting for Baby

Dutch has been pretty subdued since Mindy and G dropped him off last night. I know he senses something’s up. Eugene has been by his side (literally), every minute, supporting him. We’re all waiting with anticipation! Come on Baby Prabhu!!! Come out and play!

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

From crazy, psycho pup to sweet, calm & subdued…that’s our scrappydoo.
