Week Past 12/10-12/16/07
Mon 12/10 from the gym I went to the airport to pick up my brother Ric who flew in (11:00 am) from Manila to spend Christmas with me. I was a bit late as he was already waiting for me. We went straight to Apple Valley to drop something in our store located there. So I had him window shopping immediately. We are really getting old. Last time I saw him, maybe two or three years ago, he didn't have that much whites in his hair. When you're part of the Golden Boys Club and the AARP is very much interested in inviting you to join the association that is expected.
Wed 12/12 the weatherman on the radio was exuberant in describing the hoarfrost that occurred overnight and it's effect in the early morning. I took a couple of pics below to show what its really like. The tree branches shimmered in the sunlight. Wonders of nature.
Thu 12/13 was my day off so I took my brother to the Mall of America. It's convenient and relaxing going to this place on a weekday as there are not much people especially this holiday season. You're not suffocated by hordes of shoppers. Sat 12/15 it was a different scenario. When I got home from work my brother told me in the early evening news it was reported they had to close the Mall for about an hour or two because it was packed. I can imagine bedlam. A customer was complaining they've been looking for parking space for over an hour. And I tell you this place has a huge parking space.
Fri 12/14 we went out for dinner at Hong Kong Buffet. In this kind of weather with snow and temps below freezing your choice of places to visit are limited. It's either you go to a mall or eat out where you are warm and protected from the environment. Going to work on Sat 12/15 morning the temp was -5 and my hands were freezing even with gloves on. The windchill was about -15. And it's still one week away from the official winter season.
