A couple of really good shaves with the RX. You need to hold it very gently against the skin as though you were letting a scorpion kiss you. Then it just melts through any whiskers. Even did some skin stretching today and got the dolphins screaming. The soap, I don't know what it smells like, it ain't earl grey. I like my earl grey scents like Brian likes this grapefruit scents. Straight forward and slapping you in the face. This is a pleasant smelling soap, but clearly not a strong tea note. Finished up with a scent I bought in London to keep the theme.

My parents are stuck at the airport. The plane they were going to take got diverted because of fog there I guess. So they're sitting at the airport delayed at least a few hours while the airline figures out what they are going to do. I'm sure they will get here sooner or later, but travel stress is lame.

Well, well, well. Here we are again. Yes, my birthday is tomorrow, but the parents came down for the weekend to celebrate it. Friday I got to choose dinner, so it was wine and cheese night. Saturday everyone made breakfast for me. It was a struggle to not get up and take over making my own coffee, but it turned out fine. Then Sunday a friend of the family came over and all of us went across the bay from SF for a caviar tasting and then a nice dinner.

Well I wondered what all the festivities were about! An early happy birthday to you Dave!

You’re a great human. May you have a blessed year this coming year!
