2010 Aug 08 - Lunch in Lodi
Shangra La Asian Restaurant
Gary, Tom and Tish are coming to Lodi from the San Francisco Bay Area to have lunch today. So we are first meeting up at Wally's home. Tuna and I ride together. Ollie stayed at his sister's home in Stockton and drives down and Art lives in Lodi and also drives over.
Those coming over from the Bay Area are college friends and all of the locals plus Ollie who grew up in Stockton once stayed in the same Steiner Street apartment in San Francisco at one time or another. Except for Wally whose home this is and is Koby's younger brother.

After a prolonged Bull Session it is time to go to lunch. We pile into two cars and head to the center of Lodi for lunch.
Art, Tuna, Ollie and Ken at the far right
Tuna, Art and from the other direction are Gary and Tish
A little late with the camera, a veggie dish and Mongolian Pork
Some kind of chicken, a noodle dish and Walnut Prawns
Gary is still eating but Tish is finished
We have another long Bull Session after lunch. Almost after lunch as Wally, the youngster of this crowd, has to eat up all the "left overs". The stories of 40 plus years ago feel like recent events until we get up to leave and realize that we are now Medi-Care age and no longer move nearly as quickly.
Ollie, Koby, Tom and Tuna
Tish, Ollie and Koby
Art, Gary, Wally and Ollie
Back to Wally's place for pie a la mode and coffee. But the pie portions are cut in half. Age may have caught up with some of us. :-)
