Afterward we went to lunch, about six of us, at what used to be California Creations on Isadora Goyenechea (a street I tread so many times it is imprinted on my sole). It is now Oporto, quite nice, all open air under expansive umbrellas reclining on cushioned couches. I had a nice potato, caramelized onion and beef plate with a wonderful tarta for dessert, and chirimoya allegre to sip.
Afterward it was off to the Ops review, where we had to save oodles of money with no clear idea how to do it. The speaker didn't seem to help, reeling off numbers which had no support as the basis of the costs, with some few proposed savings. Not sure how useful the meeting was except to expose some underpinnings which might better have been left closeted. Then to Flannery's Irish Pub where the beer was all Scandinavian. Of course, all of the days problems were quickly solved, if only we can recall how tomorrow morning.
