Another invention brought to you by Page...
Friday night, Vanessa and I went to Wood Ranch BBQ for dinner. The service was less than stellar and it gave us some time to create a new invention. It's called the Tip Clock. You set the tip at the amount you would normally give for great service. Every time you find yourself with an empty glass, unable to eat while you are waiting for something, or waiting forever for the bill, you start the clock and the tip starts counting down. The waiter/waitress can actually watch their tip disappearing.
I kept to my schedule Saturday and woke up at 4:30 am on Saturday. Ugh! The only reason I was able to stay awake is because I knew I had to pick-up my dad at 6:15 am to go to the airport. We flew up to San Francisco again. This time we had some extra time, so we rented a car and went to Pier 39. It wasn't crowded, which made it nice. We had some coffee and I found a couple of things I can give to Sebastian and his parents when I visit them next week. I still have a couple of things to buy, but the bulk of it is over.
The 49er game was fun, but they suck so much. You know your team is in last place when: 1) The stands are only 60% full. 2) The 2nd string quarterback sucks so bad that the fans are yelling out the 3rd string quarterback's name. 3) The Redskin fans are louder than the 49er fans, because there are more of them. My dad spotted a Redskins fan a couple of rows down who had a California license plate around his neck that read: 1SKNFAN. My dad dared me to sneak up behind him and change the "1" to a "4". I laughed so hard I got hiccups.
Sunday, I woke up at 6:00 am. I spent the morning catching up on my Tivo recordings. Vanessa went to Pasadena to see the Nutcracker with her mom, aunt, and cousin. I went out to run some errands and buy a watch. I ended up getting a nice watch, but it took me forever to choose one. I have realized lately that I don't feel like making decisions. This seems to come and go in waves. A watch is a big decision for me, because it needs to be casual and formal, functional, and stylish. It says something about your personality. I used to have 4 watches, so I could choose what look I was going for, but none of them are working now. This watch will be fine and I was reaffirmed when Vanessa told me she liked it. I probably could have gotten it for cost since it's Kenneth Cole, but I didn't have time to wait.
This will be a busy week for me. Vanessa and I are watching her cousin Sarah tonight. Tomorrow we are going out with Ed and Tiffany. Wednesday we are going out with Albert and Keith. Thursday I have an appointment for my foot. Friday we leave. It should go by fast.

Nice watch. Are you going to be blog-ing from your trip? Will you post some x-mas party photos and trip photos?

Page, I must say I enjoy your site. You update continually which is a plus and I enjoy hearing about your daily trials and tribulations. I must say, I too, have trouble deciding on some things especially on restaurants, etc. However my problem is two-fold. I like to please everyone so I am always catching my self say wherever you would like to eat and my second problem is I am alway double guessing purchases. Like do I really need that? Both of which kind of piss people off. I do hope you can continue to update your blog and post pictures while you are in Europe. I haven't been to too many countries and would like to read about your take. I very much liked Mike Jung's American trip and think your European Vacation would be the next exciting thing to read about on a blog (those other guys have been busy with their girl friends so they say and even the girls sites that are listed don't update anymore). But if you can't, cuz you are on vacation, I will look forward to the update when you get back. Have a great trip! - a loyal fan. P.S. Take care of your foot! Buy some super squishy Merill's to keep your feet safe.

Thanks for the nice comments. I am bringing our laptop and camera for the trip, so I should be able to post trip updates. I'm not sure how easy it will be to upload the pictures, but we'll find out! I will definately post pictures when I return.
I do the same thing when recommending restaurants. When I'm not in an indecisive wave, I have learned that many people just want someone to make a decision.
