They even stole the layout!

With WWDC and JavaOne behind me, I'm now in holiday mode, which just involves me wandering around California by Greyhound bus, visiting people and trying not to think about programming. So right now I'm in Paso Robles visiting Susan. Then on Monday I'll go visit Danna before making my way back up to San Francisco where Suzy will either be taking me wine tasting or to Karaoke, depending on whether the plans change an odd or even number of times before Friday. Anyone in the vicinity with an appreciation of musical talent, you'd better pray it's wine tasting.

For a while, I referred to this holiday as the "Hot Chicks Tour of California". I think this is because I enjoy being offensive.

Susan, a bunch of her army buddies and I somehow ended up in a bar last night that was celebrating the Fourth of July by holding red, white and blue jello wrestling. As such, I have mentally named this leg of the trip "Beer and Titties Weekend", for similar reasons to the above.

At least I can say I'm getting some authentic American culture while I'm here.
