Exercise Type: Weights
Comments:
No run. Ankles were pissy, which was interesting.
Did body weight strength in my hotel room.
OUTSTANDING DAY:
* partnered with Juliet, again, all day (like, 10-hour hangout and "touch time")
* good learning and collaborating with other colleagues
* nice lunch walk (on a rooftop park on a Salesforce building nearby)
* post-class Hilton lobby beers!
* (mediocre) dinner in Lombard with Juliet, Aneta, and Aneta's two friends (Danny, wife)
Around 930 or so we wrapped up dinner and I offered to give Juliet a ride to her hotel.
But we didn't go to her hotel. We drove west...toward the bridge, then south through Presidio. I had no idea where I was going. I just didn't want to go home.
And neither did she.
We drove across Golden Gate Park. I turned west again, remembering a beach there at the end of it.
We parked, and walked along the beach. And talked. Telling family stories.
We sat on a driftwood log at the north end. And talked.
For a long time. Digging feet into the sand. Looking up at the stars.
It was so great.
I told her, again, that I loved her.
She said some things: that life has been hard the past couple of months. I said the same. But what was unsaid - but felt - was that it was so hard because we were missing each other.
She also said that I make her feel "warm inside".
I know she loves me. I can feel it. I could see it in her eyes.
We finally left around midnight. On the drive clear across town, we had a major '80s music jam session.
So great.
Finally, the drive ended and I dropped her off at the Hilton. But not before delivering the THREE "stories" I'd written for her.
I love the shit out of that woman.
Amazing day and night.
