Workshop proposal for Asian Adult Adoptee Gathering in Hawaii

Travel packet for crew team going to Long Beach Junior Invitational next weekend
Ten thousand emails

Viewed:

as in TV? movies? Nothing. No time.

Memorable eats:

  • Pan-Asian dinner at Unicorn restaurant in Berkeley. My favorite: “Caramelized Mekong Filet of Bass with Nuoc Mam and Crust Black Pepper”
  • Celebratory Big-Birthday dinner for honorary member of my freewriting group, at Uzen restaurant in Oakland. My favorite: grilled sea bass with shiitake teriyaki mushrooms

So it looks like I had sea bass at two restaurants that both start with U. Hmmm! Interesting pattern.

Cooked:
younger daughter’s favorite butternut squash soup
older daughter’s favorite Barefoot Contessa turkey meatloaf

Happenings:

Big Birthday Dinner Party for Freewriting Buddy

Amazing Eddie Vedder solo concert. He is my new boyfriend.

Realized that our tickets for Hawaii trip (tomorrow!) were purchased on ATA airlines. Much drama and hemorraghing of money ensued.  But I just printed out our boarding passes so WE ARE GOING!

Lots and lots of camp preparations.

Lots and lots of travel preparations for the crew team.

And I have so much to do before now and noon tomorrow, I suspect I’ll be packing my suitcase at 11:45 before we jump in the car to the airport.
