In the OC

Got into LAX way early Friday morning – like 3 am. We had a mechanical on the ground at JFK and they needed to replace a valve on the AC. We got free champagne and headphones. Once they did that we were able to have a relatively smooth flight and a pretty good 3 point landing.

We’re staying for the weekend with my law school friend BV from my study abroad in Hong Kong, her husband M, also an attorney, and their 19 month son. He’s mostly well behaved and a bundle of fun, even though his sentences are only about 3 words long and are usually monosyllabic abbreviations of words.

During the day we went to the farm to do some organic veggie shopping, and checked out downtown San Juan Capistrano. We then vegged on the patio for lunch. Later, we hiked up a trail overlooking the city with M. That night we went to BV’s twin nieces’ sweet 16 party, which was a luau pool party theme. BV’s sister catered the entire feast by herself, which was just amazing.

Saturday, we’re doing LegoLand and Sunday it will be a BBQ in downtown LA. Then Monday we will head up north to visit my bro.

Countdown to Hawaii

Tomorrow I’m off via China Airlines to Lihue, Kauai… then 2 days in Molokai. I’m so looking forward to this. My staff has wished me well… relax and enjoy and not think about work. THey’ll make sure things are taken care of. I’m glad to know that. My growing issue with work was delegating and trusting them to take care of the things that needed to be handled. We’ve got a lot of work to do but people aren’t stepping up like I wish they would.

I think my expectations are too great. I can’t help it. I just finished completing my DISC profile and am a (D)ominance (also) with a high (C) component. For Myers-Briggs, I clearly am an INTJ profile (alternative report: comprehensive INTJ profile.

I need to enjoy my vacation!
