June 12, 2025 Lunch - Chirashi at Crazy Fish. Dinner - Snacks at Half-life

What a crazy day. I got up and ate a bowl of granola with tropical fruit salad and mango yogurt.

Then I picked the last 2/3 of the Yukon Gold potatoes we grew while Suzette fertilized the plants with fish emulsion. There must have been twenty pounds of potatoes, many of which were small new potatoes.

Suzette then left to do her errands and I drafted a memo to the title company to explain how Dana had the authority to represent and wind up the LLC his uncle owned.

Then around 11:00 the cable failed, so I drafted a reply in support of my motion. 

Then at 12:00 I walked around the block.

When I returned at 12:30 Henry arrived and we drove to Crazy Fish and ate lunch. I ordered Chirashi and Henry ordered Combination C, which was a California roll and another roll and a small amount of seaweed salad.

We ordered hot tea. They serve a very fancy Japanese green tea that is low in acid and very fresh tasting, so very drinkable.

Henry liked my Chirashi, so I gave him bites of my fish, Aji yellowtail tuna, hamachi Amber Jack, ultra white, albacore tuna, and salmon and squid salad.

I only ate 1/2 of my chirashi so there is half left for another lunch.

After lunch we visited the renovated Lobo theater that is now owned by a friend of Henry’s.

We then drove home arriving at 3:00. The internet was working so I immediately drafted my reply and filed it at 4:24.

I received a call at 4:32 reminding me it was our designated time to meditate, so I meditated until 5:00.

Suzette had come home and was resting, until I showed her the invitation to the soft opening of Half-life, Bill and my tenant on Central that has rented the Birdland space and converted it into a video studio.

Suzette she did not want to cook, so she got up and dressed and we drove back to Central to Half-life. When we arrived a party with a jazz trio was in full swing with snacks and wine.

We toured the remodeled premises. The entire Birdland space was remodeled into a large conference room, the video production studio, and a storage area in back with a large hallway from front to back. It was beautiful.

I congratulated Nichelle and David and Suzette and I ate two plates full of snacks mostly from Costco: salami, crackers, cheese slices, baby carrots, celery sticks with hummus and a veggie dip, salsa and baby huaraches, and chips. The wines included Embroidery, so we drank glasses of it with our snacks. We passed on the chocolate chip cookies, and left at 7:00 to see the NHL game four of the Stanley Cup finals, but when we arrived after a part of the second period we switched to Midsomer Murders and I ate an ice cream Drumstick.

Then after a few more switches we watched the last five minutes of the third period of hockey.  Edmonton was up 4 to 3, until Florida scored a goal with 16 seconds left in the game to tie the score 4 to 4 and send the game to overtime, which Edmonton won to tie the series 2 games each.

We then watched the end of Midsomer Murders and at 9:30 Suzette went to bed.

I stayed up to watch a wonderful episode of Foyle’s War until 11:15 and then blogged this entry and checked the overnight market news and discovered that Israel had bombed Iran’s nuclear facilities with 100 planes. This could be the begging of full scale war in the Middle East. Understandably, the Dow futures dropped over 600 points and Gold went up over $40 an ounce.

What a crazy day.
