July 12, Weekend

So I had another bbq at my house last Friday. This time i invited Thuy, Robin, Liz, Penny and Ken, besides Kim and myself. We wanted to setup R&L but that didnt work out. As Liz left she pulled me to the side and told me that if i hurt Kim, she would hurt me. hmmm how American. really! Any relationship involves inherent risk and all two persons can do is mitigate the risk by treating each other with respect. If it does not work out, friendship is still a possibility. But i was upset that after coming home from work on a Friday nite, trying to have a party for Liz to get her mind off of another relationship, giving her a bon voyage party, and trying to set her up with Robin, i get a reprimand. I mean I had to clean the house, prep and cook the food, mow the lawn, all before 7pm (giving me only 1.5hours) and then having the party end on a sour note. Shaking my head. Sometime people dont know how to conduct themselves or have etiquette. Instead of saying "thank you for the party, i really enjoyed myself, it got my mind off of other things, thanks for all your efforts." Well, she is Kims friend, and we did talk last weekend.
On Saturday, Kim and I went on our official first date, she drove 2.5 hours to and from moaning cave in calveras county east of Fremont to go cave exploring. I packed our lunch and we sat on the bench, bec there was no place for a picnic.
At Moaning Cave, you can descent using ropes and j rack. Spelunking is scientific exploration of caves. Cave diving has other connotations. Cave rappelling is what the people used although some thinks it should only be used on oudoors. It was awesome but not too hair raising. Kim was a good sport about trying it out considering she is afraid of heights. Other activities there include zip line, where you can travel 40mph over 1200ft distance.
Then we went wine tasting at Twisted Oak nearby. Kim bought me a apron and bottle of wine.
Sunday we spent partly with her family in the early noon time and by afternoon we had several good delights. aahhhh life doesnt get any better than this. She asked i stayover nite and take bart into work, which i, did without a glitch. It was from 730am arriving into Gne at 845 with a bus connection at 815.
