Thursday morning, I started with a walk and noted the high cost of fuel

the the colonel
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1185
before seeing the Stanford team
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1186
which may not make the finals after all. I stopped at Hobbee's
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1187
and tried the Valdes profile method
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1188
but decided that Jesus
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1189
would have to take the good picture of me
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1190
as I consumed my fluids
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1191
and the tofu scramble
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1192
to start the day.
Once I was ready to go to the city, I tried to get a good profile shot
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1193
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1194
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1195
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1196
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1197
without much luck and then took a self portrait
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1198
after which I got closer
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1199
and finally perfected the technique
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1200
so that I was ready to go to the city. Somehow I forgot to take a picture of Henry Wendt '55 (what kind of spell came over me??) but did get a picture of Liz Ebel
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1201
and our wonderful parking spot.
For dinner, I went to Sto'a
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1202
and had this main course
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1203
to the amusement of Mel Goldman
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1204
and then this dessert
../../../Sabbat/2004/03.16-21.04JoeCaTrip//IMG_1205
and decided to call it a day and watch basketball.
