Showered. Morning run: 5 minutes. Usual oatmeal breakfast. Worked on Corinna's website. Drove to San Jose by myself. Lunch with Melissa at Tanto: ginger pork lunch for me, ? for Melissa. Melissa told me her favorite thing about law school, which I found both surprising and amusing. Melissa gave me a large collection of figs and persimmons from her garden. Drove to the Honmas old home, where Rob and Eric were preparing to show the house to neighbors, but they never showed up. Matthew was here, too, pretending that an old baby carriage (?) plus some cardboard boxes was a Buzz Lightyear spaceship. I helped Rob remove hardware from the walls, packed up my car with some of their stuff, and drove to the new home. Lani drove up a few seconds later with Jeremy and Kiana. I unloaded the car. I brought with me my trusty Brother P-Touch PT-15 and we labeled drawers and cabinets in the kitchen. Matthew and Jeremy helped out with the labeling, and they got to exercise their spelling and typing skills, too! For dinner, Lani used a flyer coupon to buy a BBQ combination package with a free large pepperoni pizza. The BBQ included a whole chicken, 6 large ribs, a half order of baby back ribs, cow brisket, and hot sausages. Kiana made a fuss for part of the evening and we couldn't figure out what she wanted. We picked up different items on the table to see if she would give us a sign. Water? No. Steamed carrots? No. Beer? No. Pizza? No. Eventually, we discovered she just wanted to sit in Eric's lap and she was happy just like that.
