Malaysian Race and Dinner

Formula 1 Malaysia. The replay is on right now while I blog. It should be a great race as the qualifying was a bit of a shakeup. Mercedes did not qualify number one and two. What a shock! Vettel, new to Ferrari from Red Bull, snuck between them. We will see how it ends.

Last night, we ate Malaysian food! We met British Don in the city, drove to the very hip area called Union Street and ate at an Asian fusion restaurant. Amazing food: hot pepper calamari, shredded green papaya salad, spring rolls with peanut sauce, hot roti with curry and yogurt sauces. Afterwards, we made our way to the famous bar/restaurant owned by the former mayor, which was filled with screeching young women. It was early and the bartender told us by 10:30, the place would be packed. It was so loud at times that I couldn't possibly imagine what it would be later. I started chatting up the couple next to us. She lived a block away; from Columbus, Ohio; went to the University of Wisconsin at Madison and Jewish! We talked food! She told me I did a good job on my Christmas brisket! She asked how long we have been married, she remarked that her parents were celebrating thirty-years and that she was the only one of her friends who still had married parents. She was shocked that we will be celebrating 42 years in September.

We wove our way back through the city to Potrero Hill to drop British Don off at his loft before enjoying our drive back down the coast. We were in bed before 11:00!

Today, I need to work off the food by doing hours of yard work and drinking lots of water!
