DAY 1 of PTO. Marissa/Nigel at Matson last night/this am and throughout the week. Got Tommy, got packed up, headed to Moss Landing. Enjoyed the drive down but wasn't smart to have drank 2 liters of water before doing so :-/. Arrived early so... Phils, of course. Clam chowder 'n Calamari. Yum! Arrived at Pajaro behind Marioni's. Felt a bit irritated, to be honest, to learn that we split the place 4 ways evenly but the bedroom selections were preordained which feels inequitable. But it is what it is. Then we ran to get food and in hindsight we should have brought it with us entirely or just gone to one store not two. And Tommy needed ear meds for swimmers ear. I was irritated by that point. Jen rode it out but in hindsight I wish I'd rolled with it more gracefully. It really is nothing and I want him comfortable and I brought the shopping fiasco on myself. Anyway... returned, ate taco salad, and eventually got into a really engaging dialog about Gender and equality and more. It was great. I love those sort of dialogs. I learned something, too... to recognize that cultures might not want to "assimilate". Converation might continue tomorrow. TBD.
