Still a bit groggy but ended up going for the early morning hike. Turns out to be a very cold and chill day. Got to go back to the car and get a warmer jacked.
After hike was at whole foods for beer and burgers with sweet potato fries. My first time with a sweet potato fries.

Tuesday Nov 20 2012
Realised that I had forgotten my id at the leasing office yesterday.
Head there around 10:15am, get my id.. then give a check of 250 and hand over the application for the apartment.
get back after 11:30 as I got lost driving around the neighbor hood of my possibly new apt.
lunch at the cafeteria of the office.. not many choices
Dinner at the hotel,, with a glass of vino.. hehehe,, love it,, more so as its on the house.
Talked with the front office and got to reserve for next week at the same rate.. was not able to get the same rates on the web and thru company portal either. rate showing up as $150 per night,, wooo..
had gone to the aloft,, but they don't have a kitchen or fridge either. but it looked like a very luxurious place. The gal at the front desk stole my heart with her sweetness and nerdy look... hmmm my weakness for the nerdy, intelligent gals...

Nov 19, Monday madness
Monday, Nov 19 2012
After a not so pleasent sleep. waking up at 4 and then trying to sleep and then again waking up at 5 and 6:30am..
got ready and hit the restaurant for some free breakfast.
reached work place around 8:40 and called up As who came and signed me in.... huge office building in terms of spread out in 3 floors.
Interesting to note that it had a huge population of indian orign people working. They seem to be every where, just like in dalas,,, even the surrounding areas are surrounded with many Indian restaurants.. but the biriyani here for $13 cannot beat the $1.99 chicken biriyani in dalas.
Around 5 went out apartment hunting ... liked the place they had.
Just want to sleep over it tonite and then maybe sign up, advantage is that its very close to place of work. about 1 mile.

Nov 18,,, off to VA
Sunday, Nov 18 2012
Woke up with a sense of excitment about the long trip. 3 hrs drive into VA along the i-95.
Still on a high after the hike, dinner and after dinner party at sids house. Will miss them all. Hopefully will be back for the Thursday, Thanks giving day hike... guess all those people who are not living with family or are not able to visit family or like in my case, not having a family to go to in the continent. will end up on that hike to just get away from the boredom of sitting at home.
Success... interesting debate with Do on FB
Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money. Johnny Cash.
me-> hmmmmmm, thats probably just financial Success... I like to think that each individual has his or her own measure of achieving success, based on what is more important to them in their life.
D ->When you get 100 Million in investment and you get a chance to worry about society issues and can actully do something about it without the worry of money your views might change...
me- >Exactly I would be thinking "oh yea, now I have FINANCIAL success", but then again my core priorities in life may not be "success" as defined by my financial worth. Success is different for each person. example: for some it maybe finding Love, for some it maybe been a good Parent, for some it maybe inventing a cure for Cancer / Aids, for some it could be going out and shooting a couple of Ducks, getting high,, getting Laid every day, having a collection of rare coins, having a drink, having a party every day, going out running every day, visiting different county every month, .... ..... hehehe,,, it goes on. Different Strokes for Different people.
11:45,,, got the rental from Enterprise.. pick up got delayed and came in around 10:52am.
But never the less very courteous and customer friendly service, unlike the Avis personal, who seem to display less of professionalism.
pack up the laptop and be there in VA in about 3 hrs time to check into Homewood suites :)))) with an indoor swimming pool,,, at last for some swimming,, hopefully I do not feel shy and back out.
7:45pm
Got into Virginia , after a tiring long drive on the I95... got into the hotel around 4pm and got a huge room with kitchen ,, luckly they are going to have breakfast and dinner from mon to thur.. niceeee
Went out driving to check out the area, boy they have huge wide roads, unlike the congested streets around Philly.
Went to the mall near by, did not see a good place to eat there. So did a quick search with the smart phone and came across a cluster of indian restaurant close to my hotel.. hmm so it was drive back and there ended up seeing a new restaurant from Hyd sounding name, Persis,,,, placed order for dum ka biriyani around 5:45 and picked it up around 6:30..
Got back to the hotel and had the spicy , loaded Dum ka biriyani..
watching nfl on a 48 inch flat screen and biriyani... yummmm..
Now as I expected or feared, I chickened out of swiming in the indoor swimming pool. dammm maybe tomorrow.

Nov 17 2012, Weekend Hike
Saturday, Nov 17 2012
Bright and sunny day outside with a bit of chill ,, hmm more like cold.
around 10 called up home, trying to motivate mom. Not sure to what extend she was open to hearing me and my ranter . As always her ego and her own attitude of not wanting to take in anything logical and sensible that would take her away from her own world of reality wins over her. Well for a heart patient who is living with just about 25 to 30 percent of her heart muscles working, its only her and her own thinking that could get her thru. I and others can only do so much.
Okay back to getting ready for the hike, before that finish off with the salmon cury and rice with a sprinkle of the herbal curry from Nars house.
not to forget the Tea. been a long time since I had it with ginger....
Also excited about tomorrows drive to the new place and checking into a hotel with an indoor swimming pool. Long time since I did any swiming, which I know very very lil off. Last time I did it, was in a hotel close to Zion canyon. hmmmmm.
Had its own wonderful vibration there. Truly Zion.
