The goodbye game

This last week is kinda crazy. There are people we’d love to say good­bye to in person but can’t for one reason or another – 

antho­lo­gie

is booked up, 

mizchalmers

is in New York, 

joedecker

is in Patagonia. 

We had a fab­ulous dinner with 

galagushka

and Lars last night at a sweet Cuban place in Palo Alto called La Bode­guita del Medio which was divine. We really will miss those two a lot. 

Sunday we went to see Bee Movie for a break – it was great! – and then came home and had a family dinner and played Scrabble with Doug’s sister.

Sat­urday we went out to the De Anza plan­et­arium to watch a laser show accom­pa­ny­ing Pink Floy­d’s Dark Side of the Moon album. that was fab­ulous: a real blast from the past. I’d for­got­ten how good it is and the laser show was incred­ible. Even better though were the times when they just let the stars and nebula-scapes slide across the ceil­ing while those songs softened in between wails and the sound of money clink­ing. “All that you are… and all that you feel…” There was an amaz­ing moment in con­junc­tion with the ‘lun­atic is in my head’ where the entire hemi­sphere of the ceil­ing turned to veins and sud­denly we were flying through a brain­scape. If you live any­where nearby, it really is worth the $9.

Only two nights left and we’re gone. Eep.
