- I still haven't figured out the secret behind hailing a cab in SF. I spent 20 minutes not getting a ride to the training event I was teaching, and ended up walking the 1.5 miles to my client this morning instead. Of course by then I was running out of time so it was more of a run. Then at 12 I asked what the plan was for lunch, and they told me, "we thought you're taking care of that." The money wasn't a problem, but making last minute catering arrangements was. Ended up ordering pizza. The day wasn't an unmitigated disaster, though: for dinner that night, I finally found the magic ingredient that makes broccoli edible: red wine sauce.
- New sign you're getting old: [young] guy in your class says, "You look younger in person."
- I'm a regular now at SFO See's Candy near gate 85. The cashier recognizes me and we speak Taglish (Tagalog mixed with English).
- Melissa charmed all the TSA guards, but they still confiscated her deadly over-three-ounces hairspray.
- Me: "No! No! No! Oh, wait: yes, you're right. Never mind." Fortunately my mind caught up before my mouth got to "What the hell are you smoking?" because that was next.
- Me: "Dit, 'merci!'" Isaac: "Thank you!"
- Rachel would like the record to show that she beat World of Goo before I did.
- LAX turns off the power to the outlets in the waiting areas when they're not needed for cleaning machines and the like. I call that a dirty trick.
Matthew was nicknamed "Peanut" by his mother shortly after birth. How shortly, we're not really sure anymore; within the first few sleep-deprived days is all we remember. Matthew never did go through that period of sleeping all the time that baby books tell you newborns are supposed to have. Since his first abnormally alert days he's just become more and more active, and at some point his uncle Grant conferred upon him the moniker Savage.
