Run, sail, think...

Friends and family,

Tomorrow is the official start of a three month leave from Google. I'm excited and anxious at the same time. The number of people who have said, "Have you read "Eat, Pray, Love..." when I tell them what I'm about to do is about 9 out of 10. :) I feel very fortunate that I work for a company that has the forethought to allow employees to take time off when they need it.

I've started my break by starting to run again. I love taking DJ out to the park and to Crissy. When I hit my stride, I'm happiest.

Next weekend I sail for the first time beyond the Golden Gate. I'll spend the weekend as crew. My instructor says that 100% of people get seasick, so here's hoping the scopalomine works (behind the ear patch).

Then I'm off to Jeri, Brazil for a month to windsurf. I'll be back in time for the election. Please vote often.

Love,

Hilary
