It has certainly been a full and eventful week. Starting Friday with the all-day watching of continue election ballot counting through and It the night, alone with the call and chaos surrounding Lauren and her friends "incident" on skyline blvd, which I wrote about elsewhere, Saturday AM began with the 'calling' of the election results. We had standing plans to visit Martin Ranch, had a great tasting and meal while leaving Tommy behind, as he'd returned to the scene of the incident to assist with the vehicle recovery during our absence. It took hours, from what I heard. They even found Lauren's phone was still in the car. We returned, picked up some things and went to have a great meal and watch the Stanford game with friends over flank steak, asparagus and a magnum of 2013 Cab we got at the winery. It was a good evening. Lauren was dropped Sunday, she/I/Tommy went to Palo Alto (he drove) to get Wahlburgers. We returned, dropped Lauren at the 1st of two birthday parties and picked up a desk he found on CL out near the Almaden golf course near the Sinatra house Jen/I coveted. He assembled it, I transported Lauren between parties and a combination of cold weather and a strong but brief storm sprinkled the east hills and Mt Hamilton with snow. Both kids were great today and I felt like I manged all of the possible conflicts that typically arise with grace and patience. Tommy's been more and more engaged and helpful at the house and quicker to recognize his own impulse reactions. Lauren's just a joy as always and I watched her talking at dinner and felt such a sense of maturity as she continues to grown into a young adult. It was heartwarming to have them being engaged and involved in the evening. Jen made dinner for breakfast and we talked and laughed and watched some SNL. I got Lauren's Kindle w/her from pano so she could set it up and start using it and I'm excited that she's wanting to read more. Scottie was a bi off and it seems it's related to a minor diet change. I guess that can happen. It does for me. It was a balanced and relatively positive weekend. I did get a reply about the pending court and topics the I am going to address tomorrow.
