Awake: 7:21am Temp 44 sleep 6+03 off & on rain overnight @ Everett, WA.
Mid morning, Kathy made mashed potato casserole, bread stuffing with sausage, pecans & apricots + cranberry orange sauce. She is also pushing her skills by making a crème Brule dish.
Meanwhile, I motored into the city of Everett trying to find a vent fan for Nick & Eriko's bathroom. Their current fan has a CFM (Cubic feet per Minute) of (60) & they would like to double that or more. About an hr later, I had to give up; Home Depot didn't have many options & I couldn't locate a Lowe's in the Everett area.
Next we motored to Queen Anne Hill & made a stop @ Zack, Katie & Nathan's place; dropping off the thawed out turkey, mashed potato casserole....etc. Then Zack rode with us to his place of work, Isilon, where Zack & I played numerous games of ping-pong. I used to be able to beat these guys @ ping-pong, racquetball, chess, etc, but no more. Hey, it's not the age, it's because I haven't been practicing! These whippersnappers usually play a few games every day, during their break time.
Later Nick & Jerry joined us in the huge play room, which adjoins another room that doubles as a testing area for the Isilon storage nodes. In fact, as you see here, these nodes were involved in the storage package for the 3-D movie: "A Christmas Carole."
Nick & Zack played some ping-pong while K & I played some air hockey with Jerry. Kathy also tried to play a little pool & Foosball with Jerry but his height was a detriment.
Then the time came for K & I to try & keep our halos polished a little by attending 5:00pm vigil Mass @ St. Anne's Catholic church in Queen Anne.
After Mass, we were invited to join the gang @ Zack's place for leftovers; Swedish meatballs & rice by Katie, Chili made by Nate, & leftover Indian food from the other night..
Back @ our M.H. we finished watching: "Story of Three Loves" with Gottfried Reinhardt, Pier Angeli, Moira Shearer, Ethel Barrymore, Kirk Douglas, etc. Bittersweet trio of love stories, told as flashbacks involving passengers on ocean liner. 1953. Interesting & meaningful.
Lights out: 11:22pm.
