Last weekend Amy and I went to Rancho Santa Fe to visit with her Aunt and Uncle<\/a> and her cousins Wayne<\/a> and Jennifer<\/a>. I\u2019d been to their (Howard Chang and his wife\u2019s) home three times. They are the folks that live in the most expensive gated community<\/a> in the country (or one of them anyway) a few miles fro Del Mar. It took us the better part of five hours to get there (about 110 miles) thanks to all the people heading to the beach on the five and an exploded and flaming with firemen putting out the fire izuzu trooper just south of Camp Pendleton<\/a>. We went with Amy\u2019s cousin Jennifer, her husband<\/a>, and their baby<\/a> to Del Mar<\/a> Beach and then Souplantation<\/a> for dinner. Afterwards Amy and I went to the tennis courts (seen at the bottom left on that graphic on the Fairbanks page<\/a>) at the country club to play tennis with her uncle and his friend. As we were warming up the power went out, so that was the end of that. We walked around the lake<\/a> instead and then went back for a swim in her Uncle\u2019s pool. The next morning Amy and I returned to the courts. In the parking lot I had a choice of parking next to a pristine Bentley Continental GT<\/a> or a new Ferrari 550 Maranello<\/a>. I chose the Ferrari. After tennis we went to lunch at Ihop with Jennifer, her husband, their baby, Amy\u2019s cousin Wayne, his wife, and his two children. This Ihop<\/a> experience was better than our last one<\/a>, but I still left unimpressed on the whole.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to get an estimate on the rear-ender damage on my car tomorrow. Turns out the place I\u2019m going was used as the \u201cwork\u201d location for Adam Sandler\u2019s business in Punch Drunk Love<\/a>. Maybe I\u2019ll find some furniture free for the taking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
