Overall, a good day. Ellen came about 1:00 and we chatted for a bit, then took off for Oxnard. We went to The Lazy Dog for lunch, a place I like aside from--well, the dogs people bring. They can be only on the patio, of course, I'm happy to say. Anyway, we both had cheeseburgers, El iced tea, and her mama had--what else, an IPA. It was recommended by the cute server Adam, and was very good. The name: Giggle Juice.
From there, El took me over to see Jim. I didn't want to stay long and she didn't want to go in, so I was just there for ten minutes or so, which was plenty of time for me. He seemed pretty good--for Jim--and I was pleased to see two books on Maria Callas on Jim's table. His friend and former student, Roy, had given them to him--what a nice gesture.
From there, we went to the huge "Super Wal-Mart" to get an item the one in Ventura didn't seem to carrry. I also got a six-pack--always like to have some stored in the fridge. Ellen then helped me with a huge task: As I had mentioned before, management sent out a notice that buildings one through nine would be power-washed, starting on Tuesday and all possessions--furniture, plants, grills, decorations, and everything else, would have to be remoed from patios. Okay, but I sure as hell wasn't putting them inside. I had already put a few things on the walk leading to my front entrance and Ellen did most of the rest of it. She then swept the patio and now it's cleared and cleaned; let's hope I'm not asked to move the stuff.
