Saturday after work, Nicholas came and picked me up, and asked me if I would go with him to the Easy Bay where he had to walk the dogs and get his father’s house ready for an open house on Sunday. I agreed, although I knew that I also had to make an appearance at Western Star Dancers’ 28 Anniversary Dance that evening, too, but I figured that we would get the stuff over quickly enough.
I was starving, and suggested burritos, but Nicky suggested this Indian place in Berkeley called Vik’s Chaat Corner, which is down by the Steamworks. It’s a large, friendly place filled with all sorts of patron, and I agreed. We ordered Masala Dosa, veggie dosa, pakoras, tender coconut (juice served in the shell). All was delicious and if you get the chance to go there, I totally recommend it.
After dinner, we drove to El Cerrito to walk the dogs and do the last minute touch-ups for the open house. I plopped down and was playing Civilization on the PS3 while he did the touch-ups. Next thing I know, I’m waking up at 1:50am with the game controller in my hands while he’s curled up on the bed next to me. Crap, I thought. So, I gently wake him up and go down to the car, only to find that Nick’s father’s girlfriend’s BMW has boxed us in.
Back upstairs, I tell him that we may as well sleep here since waking her up at 2am would be drama-filled, and he was still essentially asleep anyway, so I get undressed and into bed with him and off we go to a quiet sleep.
The next morning, I need to get back to San Francisco, so we do the car shuffle and head back home to SF, where I make a quick call to the FCD Secretary, Steve, to ask him if he’d pick me up on his way to the Presidio Club Cafe, out at the Presidio Golf Course, for our Spring recruiting drive meeting. He was agreeable to that, so I got Nicky set up with his own login on my computer to he could look for a new job, and I schlepped off to the meeting.
Said meeting was very productive, with lots of good ideas, and the ball is rolling for our big fund raising gala in June. Sunday evening, Nicky went to the ashram in San Ramon for some volunteer work, but he left his phone here!
