Today was a huge day for me.
- It’s my birthday.
- I just bought my first house, a one-bedroom condo in San Francisco’s south of Market district near 9th and Howard.
- I just found out my younger brother is being deployed to Tikrit, Iraq in about six weeks with his Army unit.
Posting might be light while I fill out forms and move physical locations.

Wow! Congrats, and, congrats again. Two big life events in one day.
Fingers crossed (and a big thank you) for your bro.
I’ll be moving to SOMA < a week; hope we’ll get a chance to catch a beer.

Happy Bday and congrats! I just moved out of my first house into my second. A word of advice, don’t let junk accumulate, you’ll regret having to move it later

Congrats on the condo (beware of the firetrucks and early morning garbage trucks)! We should plan a meetup at Harvest Urban Market some time…
