Saw Chris Potter in Kenny Werner's quartet tonight at Yoshi's SF. Inspiring! They closed with "Hedwig's Theme" (the Harry Potter theme).

And Happy Birthday to my Gramps. 90 years young. Hoping my brother, sister & I got a big helping of those live-long genes.

Heading home after a great weekend in San Diego with my sister, @janelholcomb.

was on the same flight as jazz greats Bob Mintzer and Mike Stern on Monday, both nice enough to chat even after I interrupted MS practicing.

@wldunbar Did she hear it on the radio, or did you buy all of Doughty's music when you heard about "More Bacon Than the Pan Can Handle"?

had a Chicago weekend in CA. Cubs shutout Giants in SF Friday, Sat. engagement party for Chicago couple, and Bears on the big screen today.

I'm excited for La Course by Le Tour on @universalsports early tomorrow. Go, @janelholcomb! Enjoy the party before sunrise in CA, Chad Holcomb!

I accepted a job offer! Kerri and I are staying in CA so I can put my education to use at HeartFlow, a company my PhD advisor co-founded.
