brutally hot today. I just checked the thermometer outside my kitchen window and it read 38, and it seems cooler here than it was in Kentfield, where the GPs live. Cooler even than in SF where I picked up my visa at the Chinese Consulate today. Woo Hoo! But that trip's not 'til September. Arrived at exactly 12:07 and they close for lunch at exactly 12:00. Oh well, can't be punctual all the time, I suppose. So, since I had an hour and a half to kill, I ate lunch at Benihana. Is it just me, or do others feel that the Chinese Consulate being located right next to Japan Town is a little bit odd? Believe it or not, that was my first time at Benihana and I had completely forgotten that they cook the food right in front of you. I might have gone somewhere else had I figured it out sooner on account of the heat. The last thing anyone needs on a day like today is a hot griddle right in your face. On the way back, I stopped by the dentist with the intention of asking Meredith out. I walked in and proudly proclaimed that I have been flossing everyday. After everyone had a good chuckle, Gillian, the gal that makes everything work, asked me what my real reason for coming by was. I confessed to my actual intentions and was informed that Meredith wasn't there, but would be back on Thursday, and that they usually break on the hour so don't come by at 1/4 after like I did today if I want to talk to her. Heh.
