With this shelter in place mandate, I started reminiscing and thought I would share a story.
I was visiting San Diego to attend a conference that I was speaking at. I have a few friends who live there and so I went a few days early to hang out with them. Thankfully I had gotten a hotel room at the Hilton where the conference was, right on the water.
The day before the conference I went to a karaoke bar north of downtown to meet up with Sheila and a group of her friends. Sheila and I had met when she was in college and I was already working as a newly minted lawyer. She had moved back home to San Diego but we kept in touch. Sheila and her friends had gotten a small private room and when I walked in, it was clear they had already been there a while. I got introduced to everyone and ended up sitting next to Jessica.
