Got home today. 7 weeks of training. All certifications complete. Woke up at 2:30am in California this morning for a 5:15am flight. It just hit me, it’s 7 in Hawaii, but 10pm my time
A young lady walked up to bar at the Sacramento airport, where I’m having coffee and oatmeal at 7:30am and ordered a double Patron. I’m guessing she was having a little of the hair of the dog that bit her
I was lamenting about there being nothing open at Ontario airport at 4:30 am to get coffee (flight boards at 4:45). But lo and behold, a coffee vending machine. It’s not Kona coffee, but under the current circumstances, it will suffice nicely.
It’s kind of calming having an Irish Woman narrate my navigation on Apple Maps driving in California traffic
In Hawaii #MLBtv blackouts every west coast team. So even when they’re playing anothe mr west coast team. It’s not like we have the choice of driving to a game. It’s been this way as long as theirs been an MLBtv
Should st least get a discount
A late afternoon beer in the room with the freeway in the background. The afternoon traffic is kind of why I’m having a beer in the room. Don’t want to deal with it.
I’ve noticed while driving in California, the center lane can often turn into a left or right turn only lane with minimal prior notice. I’ve been forcing Google maps to recalculate my route very often.
Stopped at a TGI Firdays in Corona CA for a beer out of curiosity. I managed for Fridays for 10 years in the 80s. I expected a fair amount of change, but other than the name, there is not a single thing that resembles the place I managed mult. locations for years
Heading back down from Riverside to Corona I told Google maps to avoid highways. It sent me on a route more direct, through a couple of valleys and passes. Came across Lake Mathews and Dam. Really shows California’s water crisis. The white is usually under water 💧
Finally finished East of Eden. Didn’t want it to end. Took a while, just haven’t had time to book read. Hope to carve out more after I settle in at new job. One more week of training
It was a great day. Glad I drove down there. www.espn.com
Dodgers vs. Padres - Play-By-Play - April 24, 2022 - ESPN
Open view. No one in front of me. Potential foul ball zone too. amazing vibe in all of downtown San Diego.
Just got to San Diego for the game. First time here in a decade. A couple of blocks of downtown closed due to accident.
