This is precious. I’ve just been seated at Cezanne, the French restaurant at Le Merigot in Santa Monica and I’mthe only person in the entire restaurant. I just had a great yoga class with Sarra which turned into a private cos no one else showed up. I’m being waited on hand and foot. 3 waiters plying me with bread, sparkling water. The waiter has just brought out my grilled chilean seabass in a soy ginger reduction with scalloped potatoes and leeks. The piano guy is playing to an audience of one. AND HE’S PLAYING CLOCKS BY COLDPLAY. I rule. Some moments are priceless as they say and this is one of them.
I met with Dr. A today at his world headquarters in Newport Beach. First, a word about Orange County. Whoah!!! Fancy rides everywhere you look, shops everywhere and all the houses are over a million bucks. Even with a doctor’s salary, out here I’d be poor. What is up with that! So Dr. A gave me a brief tour of his shop, showed off his two SPECT machines, we talked about a couple of cases and then I met one of the docs who works for him- L – a second gen Indian shrink like me. Larry’s dealing with sticker shock on the real estate prices and D is telling him to jump in as an investment. Then we hopped into D’s beemer and headed to lunch. D’s tennis coach is VIC BRADEN. D’s thinking about a licensing agreement he is thinking of developing with people who train with him in SPECT brain imaging. He also pretty much offered me a job in any one of his 4 locations: Tacoma, Fairfield, Newport Beach and Reston. I can’t imagine leaving Wilmington but I must admit that California is still a very enticing proposition at times. I love the vibe out here. The traffic sucks and the real estate is crazy expensive so I guess maybe I’ll just do lots of CME out here.
