Consultants have busy periods and dry spells. The past couple of months have been full of new and interesting projects and clients. I love working hard, and will burn the midnight oil when needed, but when it goes on for more than two weeks straight, I need a break.
I had a birthday a couple of weeks ago, and my husband engineered a getaway in the middle of the week that was just the break I needed. He reserved a room in San Francisco for the night, and made me quit work at 5:00. We had martinis at sunset at the Top of the Mark, which is the epitome of 1940's elegance.
We went over to to the new Yoshi's in SF, and had a really great sushi dinner. The food was amazing! Yoshi's nightclub was fun, too... a great place to hear live jazz. We heard a new guitarist from Africa, who was awesome, but I'm afraid I can't remember his name.
The next day, we had breakfast in the City, and then drove home so I could get to work. Tony took the whole day off, which is somehow unfair, given that it was MY birthday! But, hey... what can I say... No complaints; it was a grand time and a memorable birthday.
