Job

Hi,

Monday was pretty mellow for a 'last day'. We had a traditional lunch, a relaxed afternoon, and a little family dinner.

Things started off slow, but some of you must have hummed a few bars and it all came back to you. Here's more:
"Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz. She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends. How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat. Some dance to remember, some dance to forget... Welcome to the __ __. Such a lovely place, such a lovely face. They're living it up at the __ __. What a nice surprise, bring your alibis." Hint: It's 'Easy Monday' on Tuesday. You don't need a hint.

One of the highlights of our adventure yesterday was the numerous 'supercar' sightings in the West Valley. We saw three different models of Lamborghinis, and a couple of beautiful Ferrari sedans. Zoom.

This morning we ran some errands for last minute items we can't buy at home. Then it was time for the main event of the day. We have been going to Chinatown for Dim Sum with Jeff, Anna, and The Boys for about three years. It's turned into a 'Family Tradition'. This time C-Bass invited a couple of his friends along. The eight of us had a great time fending off the vendors, and figuring out what we liked. Everyone seemed to have a favorite. It was a far cry from the first time we walked into the Ocean Seafood restaurant expecting fish. What a surprise.

This trip the time seemed to go by very fast. It's easy to feel at home in our little apartment, and lose track of the days. Our home away from home is always a delight when we arrive, and makes us a little sad to leave. Anna always adds little touches that make it warm and cozy.

We actually had our bags packed before it was time to go. That made it a lot easier to enjoy the rest of the day. Still traveling with more than we use, which is something that will take some deep thinking. (555)

This has been a really good trip. Many great experiences, and many surprises. The landscape of the westside has changed a lot. Some streets seem strange with landmarks missing. It's amazing how dependent one can become on a tree when traveling through the city. When the tree is gone, there is a feeling of: 'What?'. We marveled at the new stuff, missed the old, and started to get a handle on the traffic. Pumping gas for the last time until December, I was reminded of just how large this place is. The number of gas stations and the number of pumps at each one added a new perspective.

From high above the Pacific Ocean, I bid you Happy Tuesday.

Peace,
Danny
