At mom and dad's. Breakfast at home: two eggs scrambled with chives, garlic leaves, and leftover rice. I accompanied Dad to Fry's where he looked at a few things but didn't buy anything. Brunch at China Buffet. They drove me to Long Beach airport, which they say is about the same distance from them as John Wayne Airport aka Santa Ana Airport aka Orange County Airport aka The Airport That Has Too Many Names. I had fries and an iced tea at a burger place with the McKenna's name attached: $13.58. It took a long time for my order to come through, especially for being just fries. I should have eaten at one of the other places with table service so I wouldn't have had to stand for 15 minutes. The kitchen staff was handling a problematic order and seemed like it could improve a bit in customer service. It's confusing that where you order there is no cash register, but the way I think it works is you place your order then move a fair distance to the right to pay. LGB to SFO via jetBlue. Patrick picked me up at the airport. Home. Unpacked. Dinner at home with Patrick: sweet potato and corn soup.
