Costco, Crabs, Chicken, Celia, Carynn

Went to Costco today and we were able to sign up as members! Without any fuss. What a relief. And while there, ran into one of my team members and then Celia and her husband. This was the first time Celia has ever met Bert and she told him he had been a mystery of sorts to her because he has never attended any of the company events to which family is invited. Celia was there shopping for her son who is going off to college on Friday.

Bert basically went crazy at Costco. Everything started to look cheap and good to him after our experiences with the high cost of things in all the other places like Safeway at which we have been spending our money. Ryan came across boiled dunganese crabs and had to have them and so we had 2 large crabs for dinner. Not as nice as what we get back in Singapore but then again, we were just glad to have something other than pizza. The one and a half men ate most of the crabs. I preferred the roast chicken which was a whole dollar cheaper than at Safeway so Bert approved.
Happy Birthday, Carynn! We hope you are settling in well in Buffalo and shaking up academia there with your brilliance. With lotsa love from all of us here in San Ramon and I am sure from the folks in Singapore too.
