A long weekend away in San Jose visiting family and friends.

Had lunch with Chelsea on Thursday. We got sammiches from Le Boul and ate them at her home while waiting for delivery of a fridge — they’re doing more remodeling on the kitchen. Chelsea is lucky she’s not going to be around for it as she left on Friday for Tulane, which she was all excited about.

Friday had lunch with Tig and talked over all kinds of stuff. Was a great chance to catch up on personal things and just spend time with her alone.

Saturday morning was birthday breakfast for Ruth up at their house. Lise was rolling around with her foot in a cast. She seems to be holding up well, if a bit confined. Was fun and good to see them both.

Saturday lunch was with Tig, Gail and Paladin. We had a good lunch and then did a little shopping. Outside the bookstore there was a group of ANONYMOUS protesting the Scientology bookstore next door. I took their leaflet and chatted them up a bit.

Long drive home on Sunday, good to be home.
