Inkless

Today was the last day of the last spring break I am going to enjoy in a while. What a damn fine day. I woke up at around 10 AM in order to get to Napa by 12:30.  I was going to attend a birthday lunch @ Cindy’s Backstreet Kitchen. After quite a hectic ride, (a guns-drawn arrest by the highway, incredible traffic and poor signs), I finally arrived at the quaint little restaurant. The food was quite delicious – I had the Braised Lamb Shoulder – and I went away feeling quite happy. We then hit up a sparkling wine winery, where we saw a middle aged couple make-out like it was Senior Prom. Quite awkward.

I took some pretty pictures of Napa, but here’s a nice little surprise in the parking lot of the winery:

Nothing like a Duc under a nice day. I’m pretty biased towards Monsters, but these are fine too.

I arrived back in the Bay Area around 6 PM and went out to eat with Bo and (surprise!) Jaeman, plus Susanne. We ate some ramen and got to the business at hand – a bowling competition. It was UCLA vs. Cal (as usual) with Bo and I having a handicap as it was technically 3 vs 2. However, the other team’s lowest score was divded by 10 to keep things reasonable. Cal won 3 of 4 games. I bowled terribly, but usually ended strong. I did have a terrible game of 94 though. I haven’t bowled under 100 since elementary school. Fail.

Not to be a smug bastard, but I have a damn great life. I need to remember that more.

And tomorrow I get to spend some good time with the person that makes it so great. See you in Berkeley!

‘Tis all.
