A Pre-Clampout Day Out

Denise and I spent the day together in Malibu and Santa Monica.

First, we headed off for lunch at Nobu Malibu, a pretty glitzy Japanese restaurant. We went to unwind and try out their cuisine. While the food was good, the portions were a bit disappointingly small and the prices were sky-high. Denise asked if I would go there again. My response was, "For a special occasion."

Speaking of special occasions, today was special as it was one year ago today that we met. So we celebrated with Japanese food.

After that we headed off to the 3rd Street Prominade in Santa Monica so she could pick up some make-up and some odds & ends.

Following that, we had to battle traffic on the Santa Monica and San Diego Freeways to get back into the San Fernando Valley. She was lucky that she could nod off and nap.

After taking Denise home, I headed back home to get The Beast up on leveling blocks so I could turn on the refrigerator.

As you can see from the top picture, there's plenty of beverages in the refrigerator for the weekend in Tehachapi with Platrix.

It was a pretty enjoyable day.
