Back from the bay area...it was lots of work and a little time to explore. I drove through Napa wine country, out to the view point just north of the golden gate, through china town, past fisherman's wharf, and down lumbard street (the very crooked street in san fran). Sadly I didn't take my camera as it is large. It is very good to be home again with my family and just relax. Tim (the boss) tells me to live it up cause next week is going to be rough.

Hope he's exaggerating.

I just got back from a night in Portland where my insane wife and sister stood in line at Powell's (largest bookstore on earth) until 3am getting the seventh Harry Potter and getting it signed by fake characters. It took us 7 hours (normally 3) just to drive there with all the traffic and rain. We have just enough time do some laundry before taking off tonight for the San Francisco area for work and I won't be back until Saturday. I will miss my family terribly. It is shaping up to be a busy couple of weeks with this harry potter; this work trip; and two trips up Adams planned.

About the title: I have made it my mission in life to continually pursue what I feel is the most rewarding treasure in existence, wisdom. However, it seems the longer I search the more apparent the distance. As the struggle continues only "a fool's hope" remains that God will share a minuscule fraction of his infinite wisdom with his least dedicated child.
