The forecast for today has been alot of rain, and gusty winds. All the t.v. and radio people talk about is the wind, and how fierce this storm is.
I was invited to Lindsey's parents for dinner in Alameda, which meant i had to drive over the Richmond Bridge, where i think a truck overturned due to a high wind gust during a storm in january. When i went to buy Paula, LInsdey's mom, some flowers, the woman told me to stay home, or to have a really heavy car. (I'm driving a little Mazda 3) so i was very nervous, i admit.
Well, i went, and i made it and the wind wasn't that bad. it wasn't that bad at all. i had a really nice time with the Frimans and "Aunt Rae", whom i really liked. I liked them all, it was really fun. They are so hospitable and i felt like part of the family. Rae is a hoot. She regaled us with funny stories, is very vibrant, told us she had an interview at Paramount Studios after she graduated college 50 years ago, having gone to Pasadena Playhouse College or something like that. She got married instead, didn't regret it. She loves to use Yiddish words because her husband, who has passed away, worked for a Jewish tailor and learned many expressions. She is in her 70's, and looks and acts like she's in her 50's.

Lindsey's friend Jessica was there too, it was nice to meet her. Their house is really cool, very homey. The kitchen and downstairs have been redone, it is BEAUTIFUL, with so many cool ideas. Lindsey actually helped design it. Paula and Ken have lived all over the world, as he's been an engineer for oil rigs, and have many stories. Their home, which is her family's home, is filled with family memorbilia.
We had a very nice meal. i wish Dan were there too. They have a dog, Matilda, an Australian Cattle Dog, who hid under Ken and Paula most of the evening, and under my feet at dinner, probably thinking i was Lindsey. She didn't like Jay taking her picture. When we left, she finally got friendly enough to say hello.
