Alexis, Susie, Patricia and me at Cork enjoying some of the most
amazing food ever.

Dinner at cork

Cork restaurant was fantastic. I had ostrich, antelope, elk pastrami
and my first raspcherry.

Aster trying to get out of homework

Son: "Dad, can you write a note to my teacher?"

Me: "Why?" (rolling my eyes--here we go again)

Son: "He needs to know that I don't need to do my math homework."

Me: "Math is really important."

Son: "No, because when I grow up I'm not going to live in America.
This country is in debt up to its eyeballs. I don't want to pay all
that."

Me: "Where are you going to live?"

Son: "I'm going somewhere I can buy some land and live on it. That's
why you need to write a note. I'm never going to need to know about
radiuses, diameters, chords and circles."

Me: "You're right. Go get me a pen."

Mom's birthday

We had salad, pizza and pasta at Sauce. Dessert: Tiramisu.

From Mom's Birthday

New Year's Eve

Pierre's skills as a gourmet chef made this one of the best new year's eves I've ever had. it was a five-hour meal, 7-midnight. first, he served cheese, bread, various olives and champagne. second, pate and cranberry bread paired with "chartnes" white wine. third, choice of fish paired with white wine or chicken and mushroom paired with a blackberry red wine. fourth, goose (no pheasant available) with baked potatoes and carrots along with risotto and couscous and paired with a "rustic" cherry red wine. fifth, Pierre's signature coffee. sixth, a layered cherry-merengue rum cake. the night finished with mandarin or extra-strong cranberry cognac.

Manejando en San Diego

Mientras manejando en San Diego, Patricia navegaba usando "Maps" con su nuevo iPhone. 

David: "8 Este o 5 Norte?"

Patricia: "8 Norte."

David: "8 que?!"

Patricia: "No. Tenes que tomar Seaworld Drive."

David: "No existe Seaworld Drive! Existe solo Insane Drive!"
