  • if you’re in Santa Barbara, please follow @sbtwestival and/or me for updates and info for the event #
  • thinking about all the things that are going to happen over the next few weeks, and really I don’t know where the time will come from #
  • one of these days I’m going to have to make a real decision about how much sleep I’m willing to miss, and what’s good for the old body #
  • rt: just about everyone I’m following on twitter that’s watching the game: OMG #
  • guess it’s a good thing I started to tune in with 5 minutes left, huh? #
  • I’m hanging out at Goleta #
  • any good streams of the Super Bowl going on? Guess since I’m sitting on the couch now with my laptop I might as well watch for a few minutes #
  • back from a fun afternoon of antique shopping with the family. found some cool stuff #
  • Much nicer than the #superbowl – Photo: http://bkite.com/04fQN #
  • Recession hitting beach town in CA? – Photo: http://bkite.com/04fHx #
  • I’m hanging out at Carpinteria #
  • getting ready to go out to the beach. Skipping the #superbowl altogether #
  • wow, amazing 3rd set. guess it’s not going to be Federer in 4 after all #
  • two great games in a row by Nadal – if he can stay standing the momentum seems to be with him #
  • some great shots in that game. Nadal’s passing shot was amazing. That said, I still think Federer has the momentum (and the crowd) #
  • Nadal is holding tough, but it’s almost painful to see how tired he is. Federer looks rested and cool as ice. #
  • one set apiece now in the Aussie Open men’s final – Nadal looks tired #
  • thanks all for the Aussie Open streaming info! #
  • anyone know of any live streams of the Federer/Nadal match? #
  • just signed my father up for twitter but he doesn’t know it yet (since it is 4:30am where he is) #
  • I’m hanging out at Goleta #
  • sent @twitter a request to change username and they responded that they are putting a hold on it for now – too many requests #
