Hi,
The weather in Palo Alto was not what had been forecast. We were prepared for temps in the 60s, but it was a very warm day. This segment of our Summer Visit always seems to serve up two family meals and an interesting car encounter.
'Easy Monday' was "Careless Whisper" by George Michael. See if you remember this 'Zany Day' tune from the 80s.
"I'm not aware of too many things, I know what I know, if you know what I mean. Philosophy is talk on a cereal box, religion is the smile on a dog. I'm not aware of too many things. I know what I know if you know what I mean." Hint: Think 'Popeye'. What? The singer clearly knows where she stands. Title is three words.
When we went to get our rental car this morning, at the San Jose airport, we were assigned a Mercedes-Benz GLK 350. It's like a very glamorous Jeep-shaped vehicle. It took us a few minutes to figure things out inside. We usually get a Mazda/Toyota type car with generic controls. This MB was a whole different ride, starting with the ignition key. Not a typical key at all, but I got it to start and off we went. I am calling it a 'San Jose Surprise'. Some of you may remember the time we were given a Cadillac to drive. Fun times.
Our 'Cousin's Lunch' in Oakland was fun. All of our visits this trip, with family and friends seem to include a conversation about the state of things in Thailand. The more we talk about it, the more we miss home.
The 'Family Dinner' in Palo Alto was filled with lively conversation in a newly remodeled restaurant that went from traditional Chinese food to Chinese Fusion. The conversion was successful, the ambience was cool and the food was great. The motel we chose this time was just a few doors away from dinner.
Today's photo shows Berhoft in concert at the Troubadour on Monday night. As you can see, we had a pretty good spot for viewing the show.
Time for a Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
but in how much - how very much - we are the same."
