A quickie

I need to get back to work but I also need a mini break so here I am in LJ land...

We had a great time last night. Alan and Keiran had not seen the condo in a while - actually longer than I had remembered. So the tour took a while. They are in to every detail. It's fun to watch them look.

We had wine and cheese. I had picked up the cheese at the Japanese grocery. In general, the Japanese are not so big on dairy. The grocery did not even carry any dairy items at all 10 years ago. But they are all big and grown up now and they have everything - including a generically labeled 'French Cheese'. Which turns out to be $6.05 worth of heaven! We all loved it. They made me dig the label out of the trash.

Then we hit the streets to see the art... along with every-other-person-on-the-face-of-the-planet! Holey moley. My 'hood was hoppin'. The galleries - not air conditioned in 85 degree weather - were packed. Great people watching. It was fun. We ended up in Chinatown at my favorite Chinese restaurant in air conditioned comfort with major yummy food.

My eVac arrived yesterday. It has to charge before use so I did not get to see if it works or not. I'll be testing it the minute I get home. Betty remembered the last one. I set it on the floor to charge. She parked a bit away but facing and watching for about 15 minutes until she was sure that this one was going to stay put. She does crack me up.

Also I need to stop at the library on the way home. It will be too hot but they have the new Sara Paretsky ready for me to pick up and my current read will hit 'The End' tonight so I guess I'll brave the heat for V.I. Warshawski.

Enough for now. Back to work for me.
