Did pooja at home with Nihit and Vijaya at the chime of midnight, Jan 1st 2013.
Woke to a very lazy morning and came down to brew tea. General Tikka Khan (the black male cat) and Debby were at the door - knocking it w/ their paws - for food. Put out their food - all the petting disappeared once they got the grub. Ma (the oldest cat and mother 9 kittens from two litters) as usual stayed away until I stepped back inside the house.
Went to Sai Temple for Madhyan Aarti - seemed like congregation had at least a thousand people - very expected.
Swung by Ritesh's place on way home. He had brought stuff from Seema Didi from Mumbai.
Today's last day of holidays so I want to do some most important tasks on the "to do" list out of the door. Finished expenses and started on Chapter 2.
Will call Mark tomorrow. Ordered 2 books from Amazon.
Welcome, 2013 - May Sai Bless us all this year as well!

The New Year 2013....12/31/2012
The year 2012 went out in style. Went to Fisherman's wharf - our favorite escapade spot. Unfortunately, I parked Car in underground parking about a mile assuming that all parking spots closer to wharf would be full and Vijaya kept complaining about it every step that she had to walk to the wharf.
The Christmas tree at wharf was absolutely fabulous - it was not plastic tree, but actual tree decorated to the teeth. The lighting were simply fair tale like...and buildings were just dressed as elegantly with the lights and twinkles.
Went to Bubba Gump Shrimps - theme restaurant based on Forrest Gump movie. The shrimps were great and so was Sam Adam beer. Nihit and Vijaya settled for non-alcoholic beverages. Rashaan and Rachel waited on us and Rashaan tested us with movie trivia - luckily we passed and didn't have to do any homework :)
While returning, our Chinese girl (GPS lady) ditched us so I had to be guided by street signs. Got into a one-way street driving wrong side but escaped with no one hurt. Once I got onto Howard, I was fine and finally latched on to Bay Bridge, 80-E and then 880 is home turf.
Adieu, 2012 - you meant a lot to us, sincerely!
