Did more catching up on e-mail. Lunch at Spoons in Sunnyvale with Lani, Rob, Jeremy, Matthew, Alex, Kristy-Ann, and her husband Patrick. I had chicken tacos, Jeremy had grilled cheese sandwiches, Matthew had a quesadilla. I don't remember what everyone else ate. I helped Jeremy remove an eyelash which had found its way into his eye. Drove back to Lani and Rob's place. Helped them clean out their garage getting rid of old toys and cardboard boxes and things they no longer needed or wanted. Helped Rob build a new Caterpillar bicycle for Jeremy. A bunch of the neighborhood kids came over to play: Gracie, Drew, Christopher, and more. Around 4:30 pm I left to buy gas and get a car wash, then met up with Glenn and Bill at Bill's place in ?. He gave me a tour of his place, and we chatted a while in his living room before driving to Ed Wodzienski's place in (South San Jose?). (Did I spell Ed's name right?) Ed was throwing his annual (or sometimes biannual?) Borland Mongolian fire pot party which celebrates a cherished recipe from the Borland cafeteria incorporating noodles, vegetables, various sauces, and cooked-for-4-hours chicken. I saw Matt Arnold again—it had been about a decade the last time I saw him. The party was: Ed, Daniel, Ed's mom and dad, Glenn, Bill, Charlie, R.J., Leticia (Lety), Tom, Cricket, me, and one or two others whose names I missed. Glenn got an allergic reaction from the 2 kitty cats that also attended the party, so we left before we could enjoy the famous liquid nitrogen ice cream event, but I had a great time nonetheless. Got home around 10:40 pm—a fine day.
