Only a few more days of work until the holiday break\u2026thank goodness.<\/p>\n
Last night was Sylvain\u2019s office party. It was a nice holiday dinner at Caf\u00e9 Marcella in Los Gatos. In talking with his co-workers, it was a big thing to have it at Caf\u00e9 Marcella, since the past few holiday dinners had been at Il Fornaio in Palo Alto. (I wouldn\u2019t have minded a dinner in Palo Alto. Los Gatos is about an hour south<\/a> of SF.) Dinner was okay, but dessert was the best. I had, \u201cBliss\u201d, a vanilla gelato with peanuts, toffee and chocolate & caramel sauces. <\/p>\n Our friend JeanClaude, the recent Kelley Business School<\/a> grad, got the job he interviewed for last week. He starts his new job in January and is pretty happy, relieved, excited, all of the above to be ending his job hunt.<\/p>\n So, today at lunch I went to tour a new doggie day care center in Palo Alto, A Dog\u2019s Life<\/a>. I was pretty impressed with the facility (it was pretty large and there\u2019s indoor and outdoor play) and the staff (they\u2019re mostly certified dog trainers). In the summer months, they have swimming pools for the dogs to cool off. I scheduled an interview for January \u2013 so we\u2019ll see how it goes\u2026I don\u2019t want to give up on K9 \u2013 5 just yet.<\/p>\n
