I think they can manage sitting apart from each other for an hour.&#8217; JK, I totally moved, but only because I was in a middle seat and I was promised a window seat \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n<p>Over the weekend, I had dinner with my sister and her husband + the bestie&#8217;s family for her daughter&#8217;s 21st birthday. There was 9 of us total, so 8 of them got the chef&#8217;s special (soup, a shared appetizer and an entree). You can only order the chef&#8217;s special in pairs, and I was the odd man out as usual, so I just ordered off the regular menu.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, I had a pair of tickets to finally see Chino at <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/Di1dxYSnWH1NBLT18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Observatory North Park<\/a>, but I couldn&#8217;t find anyone who wanted to go with me. Usually I&#8217;d rally and go by myself, but it was a Sunday night, and I had to drive back up to LA after. I work from home, so I could&#8217;ve stayed in SD, but I like <s>working in my underwear<\/s> being in my own space.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mayanrocks.com\/blog\/whenharrymetsally-asap.gif\" alt=\"when harry met sally asap gif\" width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>I remember when Shi&#8217;s husband was talking to my sister&#8217;s husband at a party, taking in the craziness around him,&nbsp; and he was like, &#8216;I wished I met Shi sooner.
