Just nifty @ 50

Today I turned 50 and if you would have asked me 20 years ago, I probably thought I’d be dead by now. We dropped Mommi off @ SFO and then quickly shuttled on over to Lake Chalet for lunch. We had a quiet dinner just the 2 of us. Sandy made me a smoked salmon  …

PreBirthday Dinner

As Mommi & Bengie are leaving tomorrow we went out and celebrated my birthday with a dinner at Il Fornaio courtesy of Bengie.

LA adventures

Had some training in the home office (I haven’t been there in 3 yrs). Later we had a short visit with my Ma. The tonkotsu ramen at Ramen Yamadaya was to die for… I got mine with a big slab of pork belly. I also had a chance to revisit one of my favorite pastrami …

Maverick

Had to travel to Reno and there are a limited number of flights, so I decided to drive. I stopped over to see Jimi & Amy… okay I wanted to meet Maverick. Oh Jimi made an outstanding 4 course dinner, whatever. Maverick! They also have 3 fat kats. It’ll take 4 washings to get rid …

Duck Dominance

I don’t follow any sports but I have to admit I like watching a good fight. I got tired of cleaning up after Ben Aflac by the back door so I tried to feed him at the lower patio. Well the other ducks caught wind of this and decided to swarm him. Apparently violence is …
