Fish & Chips at Bourbon Pub in Levi's Stadium (niners' new stadium in Santa Clara). Overpriced, moderately tasty.

Hey man, I was in Santa Clara last weekend and stayed near that stadium. We were there because my daughter wanted to visit Santa Clara University, which was beautiful, but so freaking expensive. We had dinner at a Korean BBQ named To Bang, which was alright.

Since you live in Silicon Valley, may I ask you what the job market is like up there for college grads? Unfortunately, my daughter didn't make it into Stanford or Cal, so if she ends up going to school up there, it will be Santa Clara U. Otherwise, it'll be UC San Diego or UC Irvine. It seems like there are lots of opportunities up there, but that's just an uneducated statement on my part. My daughter doesn't know her major yet, but she got accepted to the business school.

If she does well at Santa Clara she will have plenty of job opportunities, but that really applies for this segment of the employment cycle. Only a handful of companies will preclude her from applying for employment because she didn't attend Stanford - e.g., several divisions of Google are now only considering applicants from 3 different universities. Right now there is more employee demand in SV than there is supply, so employees are receiving crazy benefits and compensation. It's nearly impossible to remain unemployed here (now) with any effort. Of course, when this bubble pops then everything changes.

If you more info and strategy on jobs in SV feel free to send a PM.

1/2 lb. Atlantic salmon sashimi + Kale smoothie.

Healthy breakfast and lunch out of the way, now pending the Hawks game tonight: lime-marinated grilled skirt steaks, grilled veggies, Scrimshaw Pils and, of course, Grand Herradura extra anejo sippers.

Pretty darn good. Cash only and pricey. My bill was just under $15. But yummy

Thanks for that info! I'll probably PM you in a few days to pick your brain a little. Thanks again
