whistleblower weekend

• Drinks at the Public in SOMA on Friday night with coworkers Elena and newly published Nation writer Amanda


• Shopping! Me and Dort went to Macy's, getting hooked up with Lab Series freebies, then Target, to find a somewhat belated but still legitimate wedding present for James and Tina. I searched for Bumble and Bumble hair paste and ended up at a salon where Dort knows the purveyor. She loves a man who uses Bumble and Bumble, the owner Leticia said, and promised freebies in the future.


• Skipped between the World Series and Scary Movie on TV, after watching Without a Trace. Nice love story there.


• Practiced violin, currently playing Vivaldi's Concerto in A Minor and a Chinese song translated as "Happy New Year."
  
• Menlo Park on Sunday. Wine -- two buck Chuck -- and trains!!
