OK - since I got time…I’ve used that extra time to upload more pix from the wedding. Thanks to Andrea, Mita, Uncle Truck, my Dad and any one else who used a digital camera to snap up these lovely pix. Thank you!

EMERYVILLE — We’re back in the Bay Area so Mark can catch up on work and pick up his nifty new laptop. Today, I grabbed lunch at the international market place in Emeryville. I got a combo plate from the Thai food stand. Pad Thai and Beef Curry. Hearty and yum. Lunchtime forces strangers to be generous with table space. I was no exception. A couple of yuppies joined my table with a word of thanks. A dude with the grande quesdilla asked me if my combo dish was spicy. I said no. I tried to read my USA Today….but some folks feel like they need to share their dating adventures with the rest of the world….and at top volume.

One of his co-workers launched into a bitch session about a date he went on with a gril from his office. Apparently, they went dancing with one of her guy friends. At the end of the night, he said the girl told him she got the number for the club owner. “We can go here for free, next time,” he recalled her saying. His office mates expressed some concern about that. Apparently it’s not in good taste to be scoring digits while you’re on a date with another guy. His female co-workers said the girl may have said that to get a reaction out of him.

A few days later, they made plans to see a movie with one of his female friends. They spent about an hour trying to figure out which movie to see. He said they agreed to figure it out later. When later rolled around, his female friend called and told him the girl couldn’t go to the movies with them. “She said under her breath something about going to a wedding with her baby’s daddy,” he told his office mates.

The next day, he said when he brought the failed movie attempt, she told him she totally forgot about it.

Damn, thank God I’m not dating any more. It sounds rough out there!
