California hot boxing

this is about a typical day in sunny California
(dedicated to my friend Mike and his family)
- 5:30 am: time to get up - are you kidding me?? thank god I have no hangover and my circadian rhythm still runs on European time, so getting up is quite easy!
- 5:40 am: I need coffee but lost myself in the big ass refrigerator, it is even bigger than my closet at home! What is "Coffee Maid"?
- 5:55 am: Mike starts his truck, it is time for the daily exercise
- 06:10 am: apparently we are not alone at this early hour in the "24h gym" - I am surprised!
- 8:00 am: time for breakfast: eggs, bacon, pancakes, peanut butter (just a light breakfast) - and a protein shake for Mike
- 9:00 am: Mike has work to do in his office, I have to work on my flickr stream
- 12:00 pm: lunch at IN-N-OUT Burger (a premiere for me) - probably the best fast food I ever had!
- 2:00 pm: it is time to take out the Toyota FJ Cruiser were it belongs, to the rugged back country roads of California
- 4:00 pm: we are cruising up the Silverado Canyon, climbing higher and higher, the view over Orange County is magnificent!
- 6:00 pm: man, after this tour we deserve a big drink!
- 7:30 pm: at the local sushi bar (how do they know Mike and his wife by name? ahh they come here three times a week…)
- 8:12 pm: the Sake is going to kill me……
- 9:00 pm: sitting in Mike’s garden by the open gas fire place, a smuggled Cuban cigar in my left hand and a glass of Californian red wine in the other, overlooking the lights of Orange county right from my chair. asking myself why do I still live in Germany - what would the American Dream has to offer for me?
- 10:00 pm: the jet lag kicks in again
- 12:00 am: lying in bed and dreaming of a perfect day in sunny California…
