Woke up about 8, and felt fine! As a precaution, though, took a couple of Tylenol. Also felt ravenous, so gathered the troops and ate breakfast at the Menlo Park Diner (not too far from where my great-grandfather lived when he was an engineer working for Thomas Edison). Didn’t eat too much, though, because I knew there would be vast quantities of Persian goodies awaiting us at Eb’s mom’s house 
, and I was not disappointed. Louis and Maria brought their little dog, and Madison immediately took to her.
Was a lot of fun, but had to leave at two to get to DC because Greg had gotten us tickets for Ricky Jay, which was a truly amazing demonstration of card skills. Afterwards, on the drive back, I kept pointing out houses that looked like good investment opportunities. Melissa said she had been thinking about doing some more of that, and the seeds for a business venture had been planted.
