jason lunch

Jason's coming soon to pick us up!

14:59

Great time lunching and chatting with Jason while we ate and drove around looking for skates for me. I'm sorry I didn't know skates are so 90's and unavailable so we didn't call to check before going to _The DOMAIN_ on a proverbial wild goose chase and came back with exactly that. Goose egg.

We talked about Japan, Tokyo, his business, motorcycles, old days, skates, Francois... Plus Jason bought us lunch at Magnolia Grill! Yay!!

lins 2011 harrods bear

I didn't plan super well, but considered having the bear appear while we went bowling, or as if it had appeared from the sky while skydiving.

On second thought, a skydiving bear would take away from the skydive itself, so I'm glad we didn't do that.

Anyway, I unceremoniously opened the box this morning, and the bear is currently under the covers on Lin's side of the bed in Ma's apartment. Lin probably won't find it until we go to bed tonight.

veronica and dudes house for steak

22:55 Friday 29 January 2016 CST

Great time at Dude and Veronica's, where we ate steak, met their dog, re-met their daughters, and I put a golf ball shaped ball on a tee shaped stand inside a snowglobe type glass dome filled with water-looking liquid.

Topics ranged from Fred's headache, to technology, to diaper porn, to politics, to dogs, and everything in between.

Dude:

Uber-style self driving car service will be available within 5 years.
ubuquitous within 10 to 15 years.  (not by Jan 2026)

Rob:

Uber-style self driving car service will be available within 4 years.
ubuquitous within 7 to 9 years.  (by Jan 2025)

I previously mentioned human clock before Airplane Day, but I cannot find any of the old pics we took.
