Friday and Saturday
Oct. 30th, 2005 07:07 amFriday, after a lovely morning with Kurt, I was supposed to have lunch with Pam from Corvalis and her daughters. But she called to cancel and I was suddenly at liberty. I headed off to pick up a package at the post office but they couldn't find it. This happened to me awhile ago with a certified letter they totally lost and I never did get resent. *shakes head*. I think this is my replacement bracelet, so it had better turn up!
I decided to go to lunch at Spaghetti Factory but got sidetracked by Cuccini's, a Mediterranean restaurant where Fanny & Alexander's used to be. I had two kebabs, including one that was beef tenderloin and really lovely. Yum! Just as I was finishing Russell called and asked if I was at the Farmer's Market somewhere as he had just finished a business lunch at Tied House next door. We met and shared a hug and I walked him to the end of the market. There are more hard goods vendors than produce sellers these days. The market will stay open until the holiday season so they have time to sell to the present buyers.
I decided to go geocaching and found I can't chase Hummingbirds and Rails to Trails #1 (my first blinker cache... dang that's tiny). I didn't find Mominima a despite being *right there* I'm quite sure. *sigh* I didn't find Palm Park Cache but found out when I went to log the DNF that it had been disabled since I printed out the log sheet. I'm pretty sure I know where it was. I'm getting better at this!
I got home about 4pm and decided that I wasn't going to drive to Berkeley for the Villains party nor even to Mountain View for Brad's pumpkin carving party. I'm not sure what I did Friday night. I read the chapter on SARS in Microbe and I probably played a lot of Snood.
Saturday I went to a small George gathering (about 10 people) at the Pruneyard Hobbee's in honor of Pam's visit. It was nice to see lots of familiar faces. And their special omelet was smoked turkey, cranberries and gouda which was excellent. The service was rather indifferent though. I have not been at all impressed with them lately.
I went to the SMO annual meeting, listened to and voted. Then I left to come home. I was feeling rather under the weather. Russell got me to go see Zorro and afterward I felt much better. It was a bit of fluff and I have all sorts of quibbles (the nitroglycerin seeming to have whatever properties the script required without any reference to reality being the big one) but it was a fun romp. And Catherine Zeta-Jones and Antonio Banderas are both quite watchable. Esp. the former. Oh, yum! Then off to the SMO MoP and home to bed too late. *yawn*
