Off to family reunion (SJ and wonderful family; daughter Lesley R.; Victoria Freeman and husband Marc Meyer) in wonderful vancouver, HG/BSK’s part time home for many years. Have rented a three bedroom, three bath home (tell you about its wonders in next post). Slept (very fitfully) at Best Western motel in Albuquerque in order to catch an early Alaskan Airlines flight to Van (highly recommend Alaska Airlines for air travel). HG arrived in Van tired and feeling poorly (last meal at Sushi Hana did not agree with the old guy). Off to Chongqing Chinese Restaurant on Commercial Drive A favorite when living nearby). Terrible. Lousy food (though BSK liked her Szechuan spring beans, a throat handicapped HG couldn’t swallow). Expensive with criminally bad service. Must be new ownership. Thoughtful BSK shopped and restored HG with spicy Thai soup and sublime soft tofu. Chilled Rose wine. Much happier and healthier HG. Off to bed and fell into deep sleep immediately. A new happy man in the morning with delights to come.
