Life takes over

Friday rolls around and I am suppose to have dinner with Barbara, but i got stuck at work later than expected and ended up going with Kim to her sister's house for dinner. We came home tired and decided not to drive into the city to see my sister's bf perform at the Edinburgh Castle Pub.
Saturday was a lazy day where we enjoyed our morning in Richmond before heading back down to Fremont. By the afternoon, after cleaning my house, we had pho, and then went into the city to watch the musical, Oh My Godmother, playing at the Zeum Theater at the Yerba Buena Gardens. Loved it! the musical scores were delightful, and the singing and dancing were entertaining to say the least. wished I had bought the cd for it. Afterwards we had dinner at Mels diner next door before retiring for the nite.
On Sunday, after Kim came back from her tennis match, I drove down to Los Gatos Holy Names to visit and have lunch with my SJ priest. We walked around downtown area and checked out the scenes. Stopped by EJ to talk to Jojo out in the garden. Its unbelievable how much she looks grown up! Kim drove down to meet me to go watch "The Dark Knight" with Christian Bale. We held hands throughout the entire movie. We came back to my place to rest, had dinner before she and I stayed in bed to rest.
This morning on the news it was announced that Roche is planning to buy out our outstanding shares for 89 dollars; since the dollar is weak this is a great oppty for them to takeover. Sadly, we are an American leading Biotechnology and they are ruining a good thing. The US govt has indirectly has let this happen, first Budweiser, now us. When the almighty dollar is no longer almighty, foreign investors can come in and run the show for us. We become subjected to their decisions and policies. Essentially we become their puppet.
