Minoux's Go

Ankeny and Marshall are eastbound.  After a frustrating search to purchase a home in the bay area fate would have it that Marshall gets the job offer he's been waiting for, and it's located at Travelers HQ in Hartford, CT.  So the they search for a home and buy a 3000 sq/ft home on an acre parcel for < $450 K and they are out of the financial trap that occurs here in CA.  Ankeny can retire if she wants to and just be a Mum.  Marshall gets to handle bigger accounts and play more customer golf.  So the Minoux's go and we hope that everything is bliss back east.

Last night they hosted a going away gathering at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay, CA.  Jazz, Burgers and Brews was the event; a weekly gathering with a live jazz trio where you can get a gourmet burger and a brew for a square $28.  I thought the price was a little steep to begin with and then our gourmet burgers were cold....and not just cold because we were distracted by a fussy baby, mine was almost as if it had come out of the fridge.  However, the setting and the company was second to none, it was worth the trip from San Ramon.

The drive home was a bit tedious, Erin and the baby were asleep before we hit downtown HMB and I stayed focused for the remainder of the 55 minute trip thinking about how to coerce PG&E to let me onto a substation in Yuba City next week.

Back to the ranch this weekend.  I'm a roofer.
