It’s 915 pm on Wednesday. This is my first chance to record today’s doings. Well, I got up at 4am. Did the usual coffee and lunch thing for everyone. Got ready. I was out the door by 5am.
I had a meeting in Pasadena at 11am. The drive went well for the first 90 miles or so. That is the point at which I realized I had left my phone at home. Hence no blogging till now. I am an idiot. It did put a crimp in my day. Anyway, I stopped at every large truck stop I came across in search of a burner phone. I found none. I stopped in Patterson, about 3 miles off the 5, and went to a super wal mart and got a burner. An old clamshell style phone. The kind where u hit the same number key two or three times to text. Remember that? Tres awesome. I forgot what a pain in the butt those phones were. But it put me back in the 21st century communication loop. That’s a good thing. I called my office and they released the number to clients. So I got calls and texts and was able to do same. First call to my appointment to tell them I would be an hour late.
Some might question why I would bother driving seven hours to LA and seven hours back for a 30 min meeting. Well the meeting went well. And the fee for services agreed to is easily a years wage. So, with that potential, intake the meeting. Meeting went well and I should know within days if we have a deal.
Drive back was the normal I 5 car jockey thing. All driving 85 mph cutting in and out of traffic which is what you do on I 5. It’s NASCAR on public roads. Rubbing is racin. That fits.
Michael had dinner made by the time I got home at 7pm. Pork tenderloin and snap peas with a nice salad. Emily prepared the snap peas. I made prickly pear Margaritas for all. Sounds like a good day.
I should mention, Marika had her car windows tinted today and the car looks ten times better. Now all I gotta do is fix the curbed wheel.
I am going to bed. I am sure tomorrow I will have more to say because I will have my phone with me. I look forward to entertaining everyone. Good night.
