meeting an old friend and the burning of midnight oil

[sergebroom]

I met with my friend Yoko last night. We got stuck in a traffic jam all the way from Oakland to Lafayette, on our way to that Thai restaurant in Pleasant Hill, but it was a chance to catch up since my last visit to the Bay Area. Yoko and I worked for the same... ah... people when I moved to the Bay Area in January 1989. Boy, did we burn a lot of midnight oil that year. The project wasn't quite of an infernal nature, but it was close. On the bright side... It showed that we worked well together. Also, if not for its forcing us into an all-nighter after which our manager told us to go home, we'd have been stranded in San Francisco when the earthquake hit.

Anything else?

If I can, tonight, I'll see if I can take a photo of that Martian Brain Spider I noticed not far from the Oakland BART Station.
