MOCA opening

MOCA openings are the best!
We (MLE myself and Patric) got there early to avoid the wait in line to see the art. It was amazing to see the correlation between fashion and architecture.
We met up with Alia, Devin and Lisa whom arrived later and went upstairs and started dancing as they had a DJ and a bar. Drinks were provides by MLE who works there. Yay!
One of the most interesting things is to people watch. The crowed is one of the most eclectic ever! There is no way that these people would ever come together in nature, they are young, old, hip, street, mod, skater and what ever else. Its great.

Thanksgiving Observed

Yesterday (11/19) Maddy and I went to her parents house for Thanksgiving. Maddy will be in Vegas for a concert the and her sister will be in San Ramon visiting her boyfriends sisters on turkey day. We all had a great time at eating, drinking and playing games. I made an apple pie that was huge. It looked like a mountain, it must have stood about 4.5 in above the pie plate. It was quite yummy if I do say so myself. The turkey turned out wonderfully Mr. S did a great job by evidence of the S sisters eating the skin. E's garlic mashed potatoes were great as usual, and Mrs. S gravy was some of the best I've ever had.

After dinner we took a walk around the neighborhood where they grew up. They closed the old fort and are closing the bridge that they used to cross on the way to elementary school. It was sad to see the fenced off fort it looked like it would be a dream to play in. J and I were thinking of jumping the fence to get inside, but the fence was too high.

When we got back to the house we played Boggle which E beat us handedly. I thought her sister was good, I was proven wrong! While playing Boggle we ate the two pies we had brought over along with vanilla ice cream.

Beer Update

It was a Smoked Urbock. My stomach feels ill. I'll admit I've had a few beers go BAD in that they would spray everywhere when opened like some product you would find in the world of Harry Potter, no one has ever complained of being sick.

I'm gonna go get some Pepto

g, night

New beer

Around the corner there is a great beer store where you can find beers from all over the world, I found a beer called Urbok. It tastes like smoked fish. I don't think I like it.

Cabo

We're (myself, Maddy, E & her boyfriend J) back from Cabo it was a great time.

It turns out the only way to get to the hotel from the airport is to take a taxi. To get a taxi you pretty much have to go earn it. Here is what happens you exit customs and are accosted by people trying to get you to go to their time share presentations. In exchange for going to the presentation you get "gifts" one being a ride to and from the airport. Other gifts we "earned" were a booze cruse, horseback riding and 1/2 hr message. Not bad right? Not so much, the presentation was billed as 90min. it took like 3 hours of valuable vacation time.

We get to our hotel and check in to our timeshare and are approached to go to a timeshare for our hotel we are tired and tell her we'd talk later. We go to our room and take off our watches and order a pitcher of margaritas. yummy.

Next day we go to our "90 min" timeshare pres. and go to do the booze curse. We get to the dock where the boat is and are shocked and frightened at how small the boat was.
It reminded me of a boat that a refugee would use.

We decided to go and have some dinner at a restaurant on the wharf. Where we found that salsa in Cabo to be lacking in hotness. The beer was fine.

We did other stuff too like drink and sit in the hot tub it was a great time. If you would like to learn more check out Zerodoll She has a great write up.
