Went with Antje and El to La Jolla Music Society's Summerfest. Memorable chamber music evening,which I will never forget: Ravel's sonata in G min. for violin and piano, Bartok's Contrasts and Brahms' string sextet in G Major. Anne-Marie McDermott expressive. Jimmy Lin excellent. I find La Jolla Summerfest the best in the country. Located near the center of La Jolla (for dinner),everything is superior: the elegance of the players, a well designed program,the concert hall is intimate, the audience extremely well dressed and appreciative. For those who love classical music, this is a must event. |

8/4/07 - Went on my annual deep sea fishing on the Endeavor out of Seaforth landing in Mission Bay. Left at 10:00pm and started fishing at 5:30am about 60 miles south of SD - not quite TJ but didn't know what to name it. Caught a 22lb albacore tuna. Hooked a second but lost it in a tangle of lines. $205 for the boat. $6 to fillet and $20 tip. Breakfast and lunch included. Steve Kato gave me half of one of the 4 fish he caught. Gave out tuna on Monday and made poke too. Need a better recipe...want more spice. |

Activity: Shopping State: California City: San Luis Obispo July, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
Went shopping as part of my A-Phi reunion with Maggie, Linda, Bardon and Gaevert. What fun! Looked in the boutiques but I'm always hesitant to buy anything unless it's low risk because I might want to return it. Found a pair of capri denim pants at Gap (though absolutely nothing else was exciting), a ridiculously cute green jersey cotton top (my green thing!) from a cheap chic boutique and a meshy creme top from Banana. Was fun seeing the girls! |

Double Tree Golf Course. Well, I played pretty horribly. Probably the worst round ever since I started...okay, maybe not worst. I played with John Goode, Rich Lutz and Joe Wong from HP. I was filling in for someone in the HP golf league. I flew into the water with my first drive on Hole 1 and then barely cleared post-mully. We finished 18 but the 18th was definitely in the dark. Amazingly, we all were able to find our original balls by staying someone around where we needed to hit the ball. |

OAK is as good a way to get to SF, especially downtown, as SFO, thanks to the close BART proximity. It would be great if BART was in the airport, but it's a short bus ride, and from there right into the bay area rail system. Southwest has good deals into OAK. |
