Valentine Goodies

Valentine Goodies
Actually, the bear is left over from Christmas, but I think he makes an adorable Valentine's Day decoration! K and I are going out to dinner shortly, so I've got to go and get ready.

Elvis and ...

Elvis and ... you know who!

Big Party Tonight

Our company banquet is this evening -- I "get" to go over to the country club early this afternoon to set up the audio visual stuff. Then it's time to get all gussied up. I still haven't decided what to wear. We're having a chocolate fountain, whatever that is! Also, there'll be a strolling magician, a DJ, and an Elvis impersonator. Should be a fun, crazy evening. I spent much of the last two weeks tracking down old photos, scanning them, and setting up a slide show which will loop endlessly through the evening.

Groping my way to work

Today is SERIOUSLY foggy. I was late to work but wasn't able to call, because I was having trouble enough staying between the lines with two hands, both eyes, and an attentive brain! I've seen worse fog, but not much. The scariest part was the left turn I make as I get off the freeway where the cross traffic doesn't stop. I rolled down both side windows so I could listen as well as look. Any car without headlights on would have been close to impossible to see!

I think it's supposed to rain this weekend, which should wash away the fog for a day or two. Ah, the joys of Central Valley living....

Trip report

Somebody (whose initials are Alex) requested a report on my trip...

We stayed at the Monarch Resort in Pacific Grove. Spent most of the day Saturday wandering around Fishermen's Wharf and drinking at the bar at the end of the wharf. Wine. Our bartender's daughter goes to UOP and the couple near us live in Brentwood. Our dinner on Saturday at the Bath House was incredible. I had venison. And a lot of wine.

Sunday morning we had breakfast at a cute little restaurant near the aquarium -- it's called Fresh Awakenings, or something similar. I had a Sonoman Fritatta and a lot of coffee (no wine). Then we drove up Cannery Row, drove around the old downtown, and then drove home.

That's about it -- the weather was awesome and sunny and bright, and we spent most of our time eating and/or drinking.
