JAREN IS ONE

After lunch, I went to Charlotte and Brian's place for their son's first birthday. I think Charlotte mentioned his actual birthday is on the 10th, but I don't quite remember.

I got there early before anyone was really there. Only the family crew was there cooking. Charlotte and Brian were still at the store. So I just had a few Thai iced teas with boba to keep me entertained. When they got back, they had purchased a few things from the store.

It's funny how life can be separated between those with families and those without (or those with kids and those without). Everyone that began arriving all had families, and the single people were the ones left cooking or helping around. Most of the family folks hung around socializing and watching their kids play.

I was bored and after eating a few things, I told them I had to go since my friend Rome was in town from the Bay Area. It was a white lie, but it didn't really matter. There were plenty of people there that would keep them busy. I felt bad about missing the birthday cake song, but not so bad that it kept me from leaving.

I brought some food back and moms and I ate it for dinner. Then I basically chilled and waited for Rome to get back from eating Korean and from some shaved ice place. I left for Brea late, probably past 11PM and we went to the local pool hall.

It was actually pretty cool with plenty of folks to look at. But the drinks weren't that cheap and there was a $5 cover. We hung out there for awhile, then closed the place out and left when everyone else was leaving.

See you up in the Bay Rome.
