Time with dad... day one

I picked up my dad from the airport today. He was pretty surprised by the nice weather here, which didn't surprise me. We spent some time hanging out and I took him to a nearby sushi place. It was his first time and it was entertaining watching him try to eat sushi with chopsticks. These were really good, easy to use chopsticks too, as far as I know.

Afterwards we went to downtown San Josa, via the VTA. I figured it would be a nice way for him to see some more of the area while riding on the train. So after we got there we basically took our time walking around because downtown San Jose is teeny. When I looked at the city map and saw blocks, I always confused myself in thinking they were Chicago sized blocks, but they are not even close. That or maybe it was because I wasn't wearing ankle weights all day long, so it didn't feel long. Yeah I've been wearing 5 lbs. on each leg. I even played some basketball with them on, for about 30 minutes.

At the end of the day, my dad and I went to the Improv. We had some good food for dinner, including a generously portioned Improv nachos, and ended by watching three comedians from the "Young Comedians" tour. The tour is lead by a Mike Young, and they were all pretty funny. I grabbed Mike Young's comedy CD at the end of the night. The great thing about the night, aside from being seated up front by the stage, was that my father was laughing more than I was.
