Steak and Fire

Dad cooked steaks for dinner, and Kim was able to join us before she headed off to her Spanish movie.  It was a really simple but nice dinner of steak and broccoli.  I must admit that there has been a lot more meat than I’m used to being served since I got back.  I think that is mostly due to my mom’s low carb diet.

After dinner my dad and I tried to start a fire with just the wooden dowel and block.  We managed to get a good sized coal going, but the kindling that we were using wasn’t good enough to make a fire with.  He is going to find some better kindling for next time we are together (probably Christmas) and we can try it out then.  I am interested to know where Christmas will be this year.  Either Memphis or Atlanta, and I’m hoping for Atlanta.

Lunch at The Commissary

After helping Mom out this morning with loading the car with Good Will items and then mowing, Kim and I went out to lunch.  We went down to The Commissary and it was tasty.  I love their sauce and their deviled eggs.  We talked about all sorts of things, and mostly relationships since that is the crazy part of the last month.  I’m grateful to have such an amazing woman, and not to be caught up in all the drama that has been happening.  Mom was nice enough to cover lunch for the two of us.  When we got back I helped out with some more packing.

Tasty Scallops

After golfing Dad and I went by the Fresh Market.  We picked up a dozen scallops and Dad cooked them up really tasty.  I was glad to have them with the bacon on them.  The little bits of bacon make things soo tasty.  Mom also made some fantastic bacon wrapped asparagus.  It is nice having dinner with my family again.

Golf with Dad

Today Dad and I went to play around of golf.  We only played 9 holes, and I still got a 72.  71 is par for the 18 hole course, and I got more than that on the back 9.  I lost a lot fewer balls than I thought I would; only 2.  Dad had a lot of amazing shots.  We had lunch at the club after that and it was tasty.  Dad got me a Ghost River beer, which tastes a lot like Blue Moon.

Helping with More Moving

I helped Mom get the items that they no longer needed out of the attic.  There wasn’t too much that came down, but it looked like a lot when it was all piled up in Kim’s room.  There was a lot of old stuff that seemed like it should have sentimental value, but we would never use it again, and it was easy to replace.  I also went through my room and found only a few things that I’d want to keep.  Most of the things were puzzle boxes and it was really nice to go through them, with all the memories they contained.

Touched Down in the Land of the Delta Blues

Last night Steph dropped me off at the airport at about 1am.  I worked on CatDuo through the night and was ready for some sleep when I got on the planes to Memphis at 6am.  The flights were completely uneventful.  The first flight to Salt Lake City was even nice, as I had a whole row of seats to myself.  The second flight was packed, but I was able to get a good amount of sleep through the whole thing.  My mom came to pick me up at the airport just after I got into Memphis at 1pm, and we went straight to a Chick-Fil-A for lunch.  I didn’t get anything to eat while travelling, so I was ready for some food.  There are Chick-Fil-A in SF area now, but it is still something I like to do when I get home.  That and Commissary BBQ.  We stopped by the grocery store on the way home and picked up some food for while I’m here.  I’ve forgotten how nice it is to have covered room and board.

More New Era

Adam and I decided to play a round of New Era Sunday night because we could.  The game went really slow and he was able to pull out the victory in the end.  Had I min-maxed a bit more I could have destroyed his point engines, but I was more focused on getting my game going.  I didn’t get a good engine up for anything except attacking, and Adam had his built around rebuilding and reincorporating.  That made the attack strategy not so great.

Cal Ave Farmer’s Market and People Moving+

Steph and I took a nice bike ride to the Cal Ave Farmer’s Market on Sunday Morning.  The people I normally get my Samosa from were out, so I just grabbed a Mango Lassi.  I then went to the other Indian place and I got a really tasty chicken tikka masala naan wrap.  Steph got some Bolani and Tofu, and then she went back to her place and I headed over to 906 for the last time.

Nick was moving the last of his stuff out of 906 and into a storage unit, since he was renting a furnished place in SF for a bit.  I helped him get ready for the moving van, and then got the first load moved into the storage unit, but hurt my wrist and wanted to get back to let Candice into my place.  She is staying there to take care of my kitties before she moves into her new place.

Sunday Night we hung out at Beachhead and had lots of things covered in Orange Sauce that Candice got for us.

Hanging out with Stanford People

Steph and I spent Saturday night playing Cards Against Humanity with Nima, Caryn, Michael, Jessica, and Kate.  It got a little ridiculous, but all was good fun.  We stopped by Back-A-Yard before going to Nima and Caryn’s for some really tasty jerk food.  It was something that we really needed.  There was a lot of tasty food and beer while we were there, and we all had a great relaxing time after a long day of sailing.
