Tonight we went up to the hills of Oakland to Patty & Tom’s place for dinner. The food & wine were excellent, the conversation even better. Of course I had to torment Christine the cat with my camera. I forgot to photograph Willie the Corgi/Golden Retriever mix when he did his tightrope trick.

Pearl was in town so we all met at Angel Fish for dinner.

Yankee Pier
Had a nice lunch with Jon today at Yankee Pier in Santana Row. I had the Scallop Risotto special, very yummy! Jon had some boring salad.

While I was in San Diego, Rhea gave me a piece of Durian Candy. I’ve heard of durian but never had it. It smelled fine, it tasted alright, but man those Durian farts later that night were terrible.

Bah Humbug
This Christmas sucked! I caught a bug and was out sick, Sandy went to visit family in San Diego and I missed the Nakamatsu Christmas Party! Enough about my woes… Hope everyone else had a Merry Christmas.
