Message 702

Yesterday I read a good bit of The Economist and in the late afternoon I went to Los Gatos with Julian, Vanessa, and the kids and met Jason and Susan and their family at Live Oak Kitchen for dinner. Amanda and Iris were there too, so we had a table for thirteen set up in a separate room. It was great fun, and everyone had a good time and a good meal. After dinner we went next door to Sweet Retreat for ice cream, as is our usual habit. When I got home I watched a DVD of Dollhouse, Season 1, Disk 1. Dollhouse is Joss Whedon's new TV show about young people who are brain washed and then reprogrammed by a special machine to go on missions to do good. The main character is the bad-girl-slayer from Buffy, Eliza Dushku.
