Friday in the OC

Yesterday was Friday in the OC. That means different things to different people. End of the work week, chance to cut loose and party, a time to relax. For me, it depends. My recent domestication in the OC has meant I like to kick back with friends, go check out a new restaurant or a tried and true sushi spot. But yesterday was different. The work was hard, the hours were long and the gym was rough.

After work a friend and I decided to get a surf in at our local surf spot. It stays light out until 7pm now, which, is awesome. Did I mention how much I love daylight savings time? Well, the surf wasn't great. I'm typically not a surf whiner, but it just wasn't worth getting wet, and that's unusual. But that's partially because we had plan B figured out before we knew plan A wasn't going to work. Plan B was a visit to Mutt Lynch's.

We have friends staying on the boardwalk for a month while their house is being remodeled, so we swung by. They were hanging out with their two beautiful, blonde children, but unfortunately couldn't make the trip to Mutt's. I don't blame them. I'd make the most out of my three story beach front, boardwalk house for a month too!

We continued to Mutt's down the boardwalk and took in all the glory that is Southern California. Birds, Beach and you name it :)

Upon arrival, we immediately ordered two large beers. These goblets of glory are the social lubricant required after a long work week and a great catalyst for amorphous discussions about the future of technology and communications. We had two each. Had we had a 3rd, we might have solved world hunger but alas, our own hunger was calling and I had sushi plans with my friends, Tara and Peter at Ten.

We walked back to the G-ride along the boardwalk-sun setting, buzz mellowing, dogs and people jogging. This was the beginning of the Friday I needed.
