Wednesday, Thursday, Friday?

Yesterday it actually rained here in the Bay Area. It was the very first recorded rainfall ever for this date, which explains the title of my blog. Mom will probably be the only one that gets it though. On another note, we received an e-mail reply from our tour guide Jackie that we had in Guillin. He was not completely sure if we were the same ones in Guillin so we sent him some photo's we had taken together. Look forward to hearing back from him. Aside from that not much else is going on. Later!

25 Year Anniversary

The beginning of this year I completed my 25th year of working for Chevron. With every 5 years of service that you have, you are entitled to a luncheon on Chevron. The number of years you have also determines how many people you can invite as well as the gift you can choose from. Being that I had reached 25 I was allowed to have a dinner instead of a lunch which I chose to do. I chose to go to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. I had tried to have this while Mom was in town, but I couldn't get everybody together during that time. I invited 3 of my friends along with Elisa and my boss. I chose Ruth's because in my opinion it is the best steak I have ever had. When you order the steak you get nothing with it except the steak, the rib eye I had was $43 for the steak alone. You then order the side dishes which are just as good. Elisa ordered a lobster and the smallest they had was a 3 1/2 pounder. It was a good size puppy. I enjoyed a couple bottles of wine that were about $80 per bottle. I was presented with my gift which was a very nice Movado watch that I had ordered. I certainly didn't need another watch, but I didn't want a belt buckle or pocket knife. It was a very nice time with some old friends and some amazing food. Wonder if I will make it another 25 years?
