  • Off to see the Wizard!

    Well, the time is nigh. I’m off to San Francisco on Sunday to begin a week of training for my new job with Airbnb. I’m quite excited! They’ve got us staying in some Airbnb listings (of course!) and mine looks pretty darn nice: click. Three of us are staying there together, but I think there…
