What an interesting day. Several developments. My stay here got officially extended. I’ll leave on a 6:45AM flight on Saturday, 11/23. The lunch bunch went to Olive Garden today, at my suggestion. Me, Sam, Lavoy, John, Casey, and Sue. Casey and I had a funny exchange about raspberries. We both hate them. I said, “But … Read more
Busy day at work. Lunch with Casey, Sam, Sue, John, and Lavoy. The group went to Baja Fresh for lunch today. We sat outside, and needed to be under a table with an umbrella because it was so hot. Today’s attendees: Sam, Casey, John, Lavoy, Sue, and me. On the way out to lunch, I … Read more
I dropped Steve off at LAX at about 6:45, and headed back to Irvine to work. I hit just a little traffic on the way, stopped to pick up a bagel, and was at my desk by 7:45. Pretty good. I still beat about 90% of the folks here in as they are mostly 9:00 … Read more
We took Interstate 110W to 105W to the airport. On 105W, I was crossing from one of the left lanes over to one of the right ones, and all of a sudden this loud noise and shaking of the windshield happened, with a huge crack in the glass following. Steve and I were both stunned. … Read more
We got up around 9:30, showered, and packed so we could check out right at noon. We went up to the third floor cafe and ordered breakfast to be delivered on the rooftop. Steve took pictures, while I did some writing. Steve’s strawberry crepes and orange juice, and my bagel and cream cheese, orange juice, … Read more
We got up in the morning to another rainy day. Steve used the bathroom first. There was one of those make-up mirrors in the bathroom, the kind with a spring-like arm that lets you move it all around, and two vertical fluorescent lights on each side of the mirror. Steve made some comment from the … Read more
We ate at Hamburger Mary’s, which was attached to “Kickers,” which (on certain nights) is a C&W bar. As it turned out, tonight they were having Country Karaoke, with line dances in between — a set of singing, then a set of line dances. We ate first, Steve had a killer Hamburger, and I had … Read more
Online, we printed of directions to Club San Diego, a bath house. We went directly there. I was nervous on the way, stomach got a little upset. We parked in an honor system parking garage ($5), and went into the unmarked door, and building, actually. It had just an address on it. We checked in … Read more
I worked a short work day today, so we could take off to San Diego for the weekend. I left work at 2:30, with Kim’s blessing, and felt like I was in a good place. We got on the road, and debated a bit about taking the toll road, which we were strongly advised to … Read more
Another good, productive day at work. It was Casey’s birthday, and we finished up the screen shots of the ITIM installation. About a third of the way through, we noticed the (arrow pointer) cursor was in the screen shots. Kim was cool, said not to worry about the ones we’d already done, and showed us … Read more
