He and I spent the morning at a jump-house party for another kid. I made homemade cookies to share. There was no cake. Boo!

That evening, Mr. D and Scout took me out to a low-key dinner at an awesome tapas place at San Jose’s Santana Row. Everywhere else it was a typical Thursday night– crowds spilling onto the sidewalks outside trendy bars,  restaurants, and cigar clubs… drinks in hand, music blaring.

I tried to convince myself that all of those people’s lives are really just hollow and sad. I’m the one that has it going on… right? Right?

Yeah, I wasn’t buying it either. Ha!
